Bye Bye Red Brakleen

Have used CRC's Brakleen for many years. Rumor says that they are been replaced with less effective Green can of Brakleen. And many of grease moneys are already complaining about less effectiveness of new one compared to the red.

The red one contains chlorinated solvent., which known to damage the nervous system, kidneys, or liver. Some chlorinated solvents also cause cancer in both humans and animals.

And I hear people bitch and moan about government regulating those "effective" chemicals. They treat EPA as a business killer. It might be so, there are idiots and dicks in the organization as well, just like anywhere else. But you have to remember that those regulations were established because of mindless end users ( usually inconsiderate, ignorant and lazy people), who dump unwanted and dirty chemicals to storm drain. I worked for a commercial painter and my boss always dumped chemicals down in storm drain. I suggested to take them to hazardous waste. He yelled at me that he did neither have time nor gas to get there.

As you might know,  other developed countries have already banned or been strictly regulating those chemicals we still use in the US.  Just gotta learn to deal with it.
