What is the chemical/method of choice for cleaning a processor/plant room?
Currently, the best I've found is Tesco own brand "All Purpose Cleaner" and a disposable scrubbing/sponge thing for the processor/pipework etc and a scrubbing brush for the floor.
Anyone got any favorite methods/chemicals?

I think mine is best dealt with by nuking it from orbit. 8)

I'm one of the worlds messiest people, but the regime in the shed is to mop up spills and drips as soon as they occur. Most surfaces are covered in sheet vinyl with a very tasteful blue vinyl floor, so it's easy to clean up.
It's usually done with glycerine or the cheapest washing up liquid I can get. For polymerised oil I find a soak in bio followed by the detergent works OK.

I had my processor pump mechanical seal give up the ghost during dewatering, 70 litres across the garage floor. A good few hours with a wet vac got 95% up. Laying heavy cardboard down does the best job ever at getting the remainder out of the concrete. :o

I have acquired a roll of corrugated card from aa building site, they use it to protect floors I think. I cut a piece and use it on the floor, it catches the drips then makes a good fire lighter.
For cleaning (what's that?) I brush on warm glyc or glyc and water, leave then presure wash off.
