It does say it's meant to be diluted 1:25 though, so if your 5 litre tub is half the price but only 1:3 it wouldn't work out much cheaper.

I never follow the instructions to the book. I always use less than recommended.

Wouldn't that mean you'd get, like, 50 litres or something out of this then?

I dont know. All i know is i bought a 5L tub of the stuff in 2017 and i still have more than half of it left but i usually re-use a lot of the stuff a second and third time as i take my chain off and put it in a jar with some degreaser for degreasing. 

Take the chain out of the jar, let everything in the jar settle then decant some of the 'cleaner' used degreaser to another container for a different day and toss out the lot with the detritus at the bottom.

Ive done this for years. The dilution comes when im cleaning the rest of the drive chain.

1:25 is recommended "as a general wash", so it's really a very expensive washing-up liquid. It's name is 'Bike Cleaner', after all.

Beware of 'biodegradable' claims, they are often abused. However, the MSDS suggests that this stuff is much less harmful than similar products.

Yeah, but then the same would be true of the 5 litre tub - it's just probably less concentrated to start with.

Should all be fixed, sorry about that
