Planisol-M: USDA Authorized for Food Processing Facilities

Planisol-M is a concentrated cleaner designed for industries where sanitation is critical, particularly food processing. Because it is USDA authorized for use in federally inspected meat and poultry facilities, it meets some of the most stringent safety and hygiene standards in the industry. It is biodegradable, non-toxic, and free from phosphates, enzymes, and harmful agents.



In practical terms, this means that Planisol-M can break down protein buildup, grease, and other organic residues without leaving behind dangerous residues. Its gentle yet powerful formula is safe for use on equipment and surfaces that must meet high sanitation requirements. For food processors, this offers peace of mind and the assurance of compliance with federal guidelines.

TASC Cleaners: Safe, Versatile, and Non-Toxic

Our TASC Cleaners represent years of research into aqueous-based cleaning technology. They are designed to be tough on dirt and grease but gentle on workers, equipment, and the environment. Unlike cleaners that rely on caustic agents or phosphates, TASC Cleaners provide effective degreasing power without introducing hazardous substances into your facility.



The versatility of TASC Cleaners makes them ideal for use in parts washers, maintenance areas, and general cleaning applications across industries. Because they are water-based and non-toxic, they reduce the risk of skin irritation, respiratory issues, and accidental exposure to harmful vapors. This not only improves worker safety but also reduces the administrative and compliance burdens associated with handling hazardous chemicals.

Citra-Blend: Harnessing the Power of Citrus

Citra-Blend is one of our most popular solutions because it combines effective degreasing with a natural, pleasant scent. It uses citrus-derived solvents that are biodegradable and non-flammable, making it a safer alternative to petroleum-based degreasers.



Citra-Blend excels at breaking down heavy grease, oil, and grime on a variety of surfaces, from shop floors to industrial machinery. Its water-soluble formula makes it easy to rinse away, leaving no harmful residues. The natural citrus base not only boosts cleaning performance but also improves the working environment by replacing harsh chemical odors with a clean, fresh smell.

The Benefits of Choosing Eco-Friendly Cleaners

Regulatory Compliance – Environmental regulations and workplace safety standards from OSHA and the EPA are becoming more stringent every year. By choosing biodegradable, non-toxic cleaners, businesses can reduce their compliance risks, avoid costly fines, and simplify reporting requirements. Products like Planisol-M, TASC Cleaners, and Citra-Blend are formulated with compliance in mind, making them a smart long-term choice.



Worker Safety – Harsh chemicals can cause burns, skin irritation, respiratory problems, and long-term health risks. Our products eliminate phosphates, caustics, and volatile solvents, significantly reducing these dangers. This not only protects employees but also reduces the risk of workplace accidents and associated costs.

Environmental Safety – Traditional cleaning chemicals can pollute waterways, harm wildlife, and contribute to poor air quality. Our biodegradable formulas break down naturally, minimizing environmental impact and supporting corporate sustainability goals. For companies seeking to meet ISO 14001 standards or similar certifications, switching to eco-friendly cleaners can be an important step.



Equipment Longevity – Aggressive solvents and caustics can corrode metal surfaces, damage seals, and shorten the life of expensive equipment. By using gentler yet effective formulas, you can extend equipment life, reduce maintenance costs, and improve operational efficiency.

Why These Products Stand Out

What sets Planisol-M, TASC Cleaners, and Citra-Blend apart is their balance of performance and responsibility. Each is designed for a specific set of challenges, but all share the same core qualities: high cleaning power, worker-friendly formulas, environmental responsibility, and regulatory awareness. Whether you need to maintain USDA-inspected facilities, keep industrial equipment in top condition, or replace hazardous degreasers with a safer option, we have a solution that will meet your needs.

What Makes a Cleaning Product Truly “Green”?

September 29, 2025
Sustainable Cleaning with Confidence The demand for eco-friendly cleaning solutions has grown significantly in recent years. Businesses and organizations are seeking products that support sustainability while protecting the health of workers and the environment. However, not every product marketed as “green” truly lives up to the name. Understanding what distinguishes a genuinely green cleaner from one that simply uses the label is essential for companies that want to make responsible, compliant, and effective choices. At Green Power Chemical, we are committed to providing products that meet the highest standards of safety, sustainability, and performance.

Eco-Certifications Explained: What Businesses Should Know About Green Cleaning Standards

September 24, 2025
As businesses shift toward safer, more sustainable practices, eco-certifications have become an essential part of evaluating cleaning products. For companies committed to compliance, worker safety, and environmental responsibility, understanding these certifications is critical. At Green Power Chemical, we develop products that meet stringent performance standards while supporting organizations that want to achieve or maintain recognized sustainability goals.

From Hazardous to Responsible: The Lifecycle Advantages of Green Chemistry

September 19, 2025
Safe, Effective, and Environmentally Responsible For decades, industrial cleaning relied on harsh solvents and toxic chemicals that were effective but carried significant risks. While they achieved results, these products created health hazards for workers, posed environmental dangers, and generated costly disposal challenges. Today, advances in green chemistry offer safer and more sustainable alternatives. At Green Power Chemical, we emphasize not only the effectiveness of our products but also the full lifecycle benefits they deliver, from production through disposal. Responsible Sourcing The advantages of green chemistry begin long before products are applied in the field. Sustainable cleaners are formulated with biodegradable or renewable ingredients whenever possible. By reducing reliance on petroleum-based solvents and other harmful inputs, these products minimize environmental impact from the very beginning of their lifecycle. Choosing responsibly sourced ingredients ensures that the footprint of cleaning solutions is smaller before they even reach the workplace.

The Long-Term Cost Savings of Switching to Sustainable Cleaners

September 11, 2025
Many companies hesitate to adopt eco-friendly cleaning products because they assume that “ green ” means more expensive. While the upfront cost of sustainable cleaners may sometimes be higher, focusing only on the price tag overlooks the real financial picture. When disposal costs, regulatory compliance, employee health, and product lifespan are considered, eco-friendly cleaning products often save businesses money over time. At Green Power Chemical, we help companies see beyond the initial purchase price and recognize the long-term financial benefits of switching to sustainable cleaners.

Food and Beverage Facilities: Why Green Cleaning Is Essential for Compliance

September 2, 2025
Eco-Friendly Cleaning Solutions for Safer Food & Beverage Facilities Food and beverage facilities operate under some of the strictest regulatory standards in the country. From FDA guidelines to USDA inspections , every surface, machine, and storage area must meet high standards for cleanliness and safety. Traditionally, many companies relied on harsh solvents and heavy-duty cleaners to maintain compliance. However, these chemicals often introduce new risks, including worker exposure, environmental harm, and regulatory complications. At Green Power Chemical, we believe that eco-friendly cleaning products are not only safer, but also better aligned with the unique needs of food and beverage operations. Meeting Stringent Sanitation Standards Food and beverage production requires environments free of contaminants that could compromise consumer health. Surfaces must be thoroughly cleaned to remove bacteria, residues, and allergens, while equipment must remain in peak operating condition. Eco-friendly cleaners are formulated to meet these demands without leaving harmful residues. By using products designed specifically for industrial applications, facilities can achieve the same level of sanitation as traditional solvents while minimizing risks to employees and consumers.

What Are VOCs and How Can They Be Mitigated?

August 28, 2025
Protecting Workers and the Environment Industrial facilities rely on cleaners, solvents, and coatings to maintain equipment and meet regulatory standards. While these products serve an important purpose, many contain volatile organic compounds, also known as VOCs . These compounds are increasingly under scrutiny because of their impact on health, workplace safety, and the environment. Fortunately, safer alternatives exist. At Green Power Chemical, we provide high-performance cleaners that significantly reduce or eliminate VOCs, helping businesses protect their workforce and remain compliant with environmental regulations. What Are VOCs? Volatile organic compounds are a group of chemicals that readily evaporate into the air at room temperature. They are commonly found in solvents, paints, and industrial cleaning products. When released, VOCs contribute to indoor air pollution and combine with nitrogen oxides in the atmosphere to form ground-level ozone, a key component of smog.  In the workplace, VOCs often come from strong chemical cleaners or degreasers that rely on petroleum-based solvents. While effective at cutting through grease or residue, they release harmful vapors during use and disposal.

How Sustainable Cleaners Help Companies Meet ESG Goals

August 23, 2025
Why Green Cleaning is Essential for Today’s Responsible Businesses In today’s business landscape, environmental, social, and governance ( ESG ) goals have become a major priority. Companies across manufacturing, logistics, and commercial sectors are expected to reduce their environmental impact, create safer working conditions, and operate with greater transparency. One area that often goes overlooked is industrial cleaning. The types of cleaners a company chooses play a significant role in both sustainability and compliance. At Green Power Chemical, we provide eco-friendly cleaning solutions that help organizations align with ESG goals while maintaining the high-performance standards their operations require.

The Cost of Corrosive Cleaners: How Green Alternatives Protect Your Equipment

August 7, 2025
Industrial Strength Without the Damage In many industrial and commercial environments, the choice of cleaning products is often driven by performance alone, how fast they cut through grease, how well they remove buildup, or how quickly they dry. But what often gets overlooked is the long-term toll these products can take on expensive equipment, facility infrastructure, and even employee health. Harsh, corrosive cleaners can eat away at surfaces, accelerate wear on machinery, and leave residues that lead to more problems down the line. Green Power Chemical offers a smarter approach: high-performance cleaning products that are tough on grime but safe on surfaces and safer for the people using them.

How Schools and Universities Are Switching to Safer Floor Cleaners

August 1, 2025
The Case for Green Cleaning in Education For schools, universities, and childcare facilities, the stakes are high when it comes to cleaning. Hallways, classrooms, cafeterias, and gymnasiums see heavy foot traffic every day. Cleanliness is a matter of student health, staff safety, and operational efficiency. That’s why more educational institutions are moving away from harsh chemical cleaners in favor of safer, eco-friendly options like those offered by Green Power Chemical. This shift isn’t just a trend. It reflects deeper concerns about long-term exposure to volatile compounds, the risk of respiratory irritation, and the increasing pressure to meet local, state, and federal safety regulations. Green cleaning products are helping administrators maintain rigorous hygiene standards while prioritizing the health of their communities.

Outdoor Graffiti Cleanup Made Easy: Summer Maintenance for Municipal Spaces

July 23, 2025
Tackling Graffiti in Busy Public Spaces As summer arrives, municipalities face the annual uptick in public activity. Parks are full, transit hubs are busier, and community events draw more visitors to outdoor spaces. Alongside the benefits of warm weather and outdoor engagement, city and county maintenance departments also deal with increased wear, including one persistent issue: graffiti. Graffiti removal during the summer presents logistical challenges, from higher temperatures affecting chemical application to increased foot traffic that limits cleaning windows, not to mention that the summer months are the most active for graffiti writers . However, maintaining clean, graffiti-free surfaces is essential for preserving civic pride and public safety. The good news is that modern, eco-conscious cleaning solutions are making it easier to keep outdoor spaces looking sharp while staying compliant with local and federal environmental standards.
