In any serious workshop — whether automotive, industrial, rural or home-based — electrical components work hard behind the scenes.
Motors, generators, switchgear, circuit breakers and control panels are constantly exposed to dust, oil mist, grease and grime. Over time, contamination builds up — and that’s when performance, efficiency and reliability can start to suffer.
One of the simplest preventative maintenance steps?
Using a dedicated Electrical Parts Cleaner.
Why You Should Never Use Just Any Cleaner on Electrical Components
Not all degreasers are suitable for electrical systems.
Standard cleaners can:
- Leave conductive residue
- Trap moisture
- Damage sensitive components
- Increase the risk of short circuits
A purpose-designed product like Dy-Mark Protech Electrical Parts Cleaner is formulated specifically for electrical equipment. It removes contaminants effectively while evaporating quickly and leaving no residue behind.
That’s critical when you’re working with live systems (once safely isolated) or sensitive components.
What Contamination Actually Does
When oil, grease and dust accumulate inside electrical equipment, it can:
- Reduce heat dissipation
- Contribute to overheating
- Cause arcing
- Shorten component lifespan
- Lead to unexpected downtime
In a professional workshop, downtime costs money. Preventative cleaning is far cheaper than replacing failed parts.
Where Electrical Parts Cleaner Makes the Biggest Difference
Regular use is particularly valuable for:
- Electric motors
- Generators
- Circuit breakers
- Control panels
- Switches and relays
- Automotive electrical components
Using a cleaner with a precision extension tube, like the Dy-Mark Protech, allows you to target hard-to-reach areas without oversaturating surrounding components.
Controlled application = better results and safer maintenance.
Pro Tip: Make It Part of Scheduled Maintenance
Rather than waiting for faults to appear, include electrical cleaning as part of your routine maintenance schedule.
✔ Isolate power safely
✔ Remove loose debris first
✔ Apply electrical parts cleaner precisely
✔ Allow full evaporation before restoring power
This simple step helps keep equipment running clean, safe and reliable — especially in busy NZ workshops where tools and machinery see daily use.
