The product in detail
Kärcher KD-580 is a degreaser for workshop floors exposed to petroleum oils and grease. The catalogue describes use on finished or unfinished concrete, subject to coating compatibility, especially paint or epoxy. The formula is intended for compatible maintenance equipment and controlled recovery of oily solution.
Lifts oily film so it can be recovered. A stain that has soaked into porous concrete may remain visible.
Listed specifications
Values come from the supplier documentation consulted. Performance depends on conditions and configuration. The supplied reference’s container or nameplate and manual determine its use.

| Container | 5 gal |
| 2025 catalogue dilution | 1:128 |
Surfaces and compatibility
For oily and greasy soil on explicitly permitted surfaces. Distinguish surface soil from oil absorbed into porous material and identify any sealer, paint or floor finish.
Kärcher sources differ: the web page lists pH 10.5 and the 2025 catalogue lists pH 13.3. The available SDS describes a corrosive concentrate. Confirm the formulation and pH of the supplied reference; neither figure alone establishes surface compatibility.
Preparation and use
On approved shop concrete, follow corrosive product procedures. Pick up free oil, then follow the specified dilution and recovery method.
- Remove loose debris and collect free oil using the site procedure.
- Read the label and SDS for dilution, protection, ventilation and incompatibilities.
- Test at the intended dilution. Check for finish softening or colour change.
- Apply, allow contact time and agitate only as instructed; prevent solution drying on the surface.
- Recover solution and rinse as directed. Use the approved disposal route for greasy wastewater.
Follow the supplied reference’s label and SDS, plus flooring and machine instructions. Do not mix products. The method guidance below complements manuals and does not set a dilution or contact time missing from them.
Care and storage
Clean dosing equipment and splashed surfaces as instructed. Keep containers closed and labelled. If the floor remains slippery, check grease recovery and rinsing before reopening it.
Limits and things to check
A stronger concentration may damage the floor without improving results. Approval for concrete does not establish suitability for aluminium, wood, paint or food-contact materials.
Equipment, accessories and options
Measuring device, compatible machine, recovery accessories and prescribed protection.
Practical questions
How do I check this reference suits my floor?
Identify flooring, finish and task, then check both product and flooring instructions. A hidden-area test should reproduce full application and drying. For equipment, also check tools or pads, dimensions and power supply.
Are all accessories and consumables included?
Measuring device, compatible machine, recovery accessories and prescribed protection.
What information is still needed before purchasing?
Verify current formulation, applicable dilution and rinsing using the label and SDS.
