About Karcher RM 81 Vehicle Cleaning Detergent 2.5L

The Karcher RM 81 is a vehicle cleaning detergent for high pressure washers. It has an active but gentle action. The 2.5 litre bottle suits occasional use and smaller fleets.

It goes after heavy oil, grease and mineral stains. Those are the marks that build up on lorries, vans and plant. The gentle action means it is safe on a range of surfaces. It does not need harsh or aggressive treatment to get a clean finish.

The listed uses are vehicle washing, tarpaulin cleaning and engine degreasing. That makes it a flexible bottle for a garage or farm. It is made to work with Karcher high pressure washers.

Karcher also sells it in a 20 litre size for high frequency professional use. If you wash a few vehicles a week the 2.5 litre size is a sensible start. It is a professional product but easy to use. Always check the label for the right mix before you start.

The Technology Explained

RM 81 is an active detergent that is gentle in action. It is added to the water flow of a high pressure washer and works on heavy oil, grease and mineral stains. Gentle here means it does not need aggressive chemistry to lift grime. That helps on paintwork, covers and engine bays.

Using It Safely

Read the label first. Wear gloves and eye protection. Dilute as directed. Test on a hidden patch before washing paintwork. Keep spray away from electrics when cleaning an engine. Rinse the vehicle well. Do not let runoff reach drains or watercourses.
