Environmentally Sustainable Solutions By using these products, you're helping make the planet a better world. Come and see a range of biodegradable and PTFE free products that keep your bike clean and the environment healthier! We only use environmentally safe products from companies like Muc-Off in our workshop and we encourage you to do the same. All solvents are now banned from use with the addition of aerosols too. If at all you need to use some home chemicals our motto is to Refill - Reuse - Recycle. That’s where Muc-Off can help.
Refill Station - coming to bikeNOW soon! Piloted in the UK in 2019, the Refill Programme through Muc-Off stores is going global this year. This initiative was developed as part of achieving the key objective of Project Green: to eliminate over 30 tonnes of plastic by 2023 (as well as supporting the Muc-Off IBD network!)
How Does it work? Muc-Off are giving the refill Point of Sale stands to dealers for free when they place an order for 2 x 25 litre containers of Nano Bike Cleaner. Through this incentive, we aim to place 1250 refill stations in dealerships globally which we calculate would save 270,000 plastic bottles from being produced and this equates to 30 tonnes! The added bonus? The RRP on the refill service is 50% cheaper to end consumers meaning they can clean their bike for less as well as have a clean conscience!
Biodegradable & PTF Free products We are always looking for ways to make new and existing products biodegradable without compromising product effectiveness. We recently managed to reformulate our flagship MO94 to make it bio without compromising its effectiveness! We removed PTFEs (Polytetrafluoroethylene) from all our products and formulas including MO94. PTFEs can cause serious harm to wildlife when they drain into water sources, so developing alternatives to this was a big focus for Muc-Off, and we’re delighted to say our whole range is now PTFE free!
Nano Cleaner We strive to ensure that as many of our products are naturally broken down as possible without compromising product effectiveness. Our flagship Nano Cleaner is biodegradable and has been since we originally brought out way back in 1994!
Bio Degreaser Our Bio Degreaser is another of our many products that is fully biodegradable, but still maintains its product effectiveness. Made from vegetable oils that can be broken down naturally, our Bio Degreaser is free from harming the environment.
Bio Grease We are constantly looking for ways to ensure all our products are made from biodegradable ingredients so they can be broken down naturally. Our Bio grease is biodegradable and is free from any nasty petroleum-based oils!
Matt Detailer We are always striving to make sure that our range of products consist of Biodegradable ingredients, which break down into harmless compounds. Our Matt Detailer is one of those and has been since it was produced!
Bio Drive chain Cleaner Developed and tested by team INEOS, our Bio Drive chain Cleaner is readily biodegradable and has been since the start. This means it consists of plant and vegetable derived ingredients that can be broken down naturally within 27 days and aren’t harmful to the environment! LESS PLASTIC! Our new Drivetrain Cleaner bottles are being redesigned to remove their plastic over-sleeve. This is a small change but an important one, reducing plastic!
Bio Chain Cleaner One of our key Project Green initiatives is to ensure that if we can make our products biodegradable, we will. This is exactly what we have achieved with our Bio Chain Cleaner and at the same time it still maintains its effectiveness. Developed and tested by team INEOS, our Bio Drive chain Cleaner is readily biodegradable and has been since the start. This means it consists of plant and vegetable derived ingredients that can be broken down naturally within 27 days and aren’t harmful to the environment!
Dry Lube Developed and tested by team INEOS, our Bio Drive chain Cleaner is readily biodegradable and has been since the start. This means it consists of plant and vegetable derived ingredients that can be broken down naturally within 27 days and aren’t harmful to the environment!
Wet Lube As well as ensuring all our lubes are PTFE free, we also strive to ensure they are biodegradable when possible without compromising product effectiveness. Our Bio Wet Lube is made with natural vegetable oils which means it can be naturally broken down.
Helmet - Visor & Goggle Cleaner Another Muc-Off product that the Boffins in the R&D team have managed to make fully biodegradable and solvent free! How? The secret is PH-neutral de-ionised water. The body of the bottle and the spray nozzle cap are widely recyclable plastic. Like with the Nano Cleaner trigger, we are looking spray nozzle options without metal springs and at whether we can add a UV dye into the black plastic of this part to make it identifiable by recycling centre sorting machines.
Refill, Reuse, Recycle!
Tubeless Sealant Many of our products are already refillable - including our Tubeless Sealant! We have produced a 1litre bottle of sealant designed to refill our Sealant pouch and reduce plastic waste! Our next mission is to work with our dealers to launch refill stations to reduce plastic and carbon emissions across our range.

Nano Cleaner We continue to push awareness around our Nano Cleaner refill and concentrate programme, encouraging users to reuse their plastic bottles from home when it comes to cleaning their bike with the leading brand! Using our concentrates saves almost 9x more plastic vs buying a new 1litre bottle of our bike wash. We also launched our refill stations through bike stores in the UK and will be launching globally soon – we calculate this scheme will divert over 12 tonnes of plastic from landfill alone within 3 years!
The triggers on our bottles are very high quality and durable and have been spec’d specifically so that they can be squeezed a minimum of 10,000 times which is equivalent 13 bottle refills! The next area for improvement here is to make the trigger completely recyclable.
UPCYCLE! Step your DIY game up with a Muc-Off Upcycled Mudguard! We made our Nano Tech Bike Cleaner bottles to last. After its first use, the rule of thumb is to stock up on Bike Cleaner Concentrate, re-fill and re-use until your heart’s content. But there comes a point where either the bottle’s re-fillable life has run its course, or you’ve just ended up with another newer bottle in your garage, and that’s ok!
Believe it or not, it’s not time to throw it away yet as there’s still use for your old Nano Tech Bike Cleaner bottle, you can turn it into a front mudguard with our downloadable template and simple instructions!

Lubes A lot of our products are already refillable - including our lubes! Moving forward, we will be supporting our dealers more to help offer refilling services – like we have with our Nano Tech Bike Cleaner - as a way to help reduce plastic and their carbon emissions across our range.
Gloves REUSE!
We are always looking for ways to improve our packaging to ensure it’s completely recyclable. This is exactly what we have achieved with our X-3 Dirty Chain Machine! Now made from cardboard only, it’s fully recyclable. REDUCES ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT!
