Description

What the Product Contains

This bottle contains 3.78 litres of Zep Cherry Bomb cleaner with natural pumice stone.

Product Overview

Zep's Cherry Bomb industrial hand cleaner is the ultimate professional solution for removing even the toughest dirt in industrial environments. Specifically formulated for mechanics, garage workers, and construction workers, this workshop hand soap combines industrial cleaning power with optimal skin care.

Its formula, enriched with natural pumice stone, acts as a powerful exfoliant that effectively removes ingrained grease, tar, carbon, asphalt, inks, resins, paints, and adhesives. Unlike ordinary grease-removing hand cleaners, Cherry Bomb uses a premium blend of low-odor solvents that penetrate deeply without irritating the skin. Built-in emollients protect your hands by replacing the skin's natural oils and preventing dryness, even with frequent washing.

The light cherry scent effectively neutralizes residual odors of diesel and other fuels that linger on hands after a long day at work. This distinctive feature makes Cherry Bomb much more than just a mechanical hand soap; it's a complete cleanser that leaves your hands clean, soft, and pleasantly scented.

1x Zep Cherry Bomb Cleaner Bottle 3.78L (M60323)

Professional-grade pumice hand cleaner in a sturdy container with an integrated ergonomic handle. The thick gel formula stays put on hands for optimal cleaning without waste. The secure screw cap prevents leaks during transport and storage. Each bottle provides approximately 150 to 200 uses depending on the amount applied, ideal for small to medium-sized workshops or heavy personal use.

Advantages of the 3.78L Cherry Bomb Size

Substantial savings per use:

The gallon size offers the best value compared to the smaller 473 ml or 946 ml sizes. You save up to 40 percent on the cost per milliliter by choosing this professional size, thus reducing your annual expenses on workshop supplies.

Reduction in replenishment frequency:

With 3.78 liters of product, you minimize work interruptions caused by stockouts. A single container lasts several weeks, even in busy workshops, freeing up time to focus on your operations rather than inventory management.

Complete professional solution:

Cherry Bomb combines powerful cleansing and skincare in a single formula, eliminating the need to buy separate products for degreasing and moisturizing. The built-in emollients replace the hand creams usually required after using harsh industrial cleansers.

Versatile format for all environments:

The bottle with a handle is easily transported between different work areas or can be installed on a standard wall-mounted dispenser. Compatible with most industrial dispenser pumps on the market for easy integration into your existing setup.

Recommended Additional Accessories

Optimize your investment with these complementary products:

  • Zep D-4000 wall-mounted dispenser- Industrial dispenser in anodized aluminum with stainless steel pumping mechanism, allows controlled dosing and reduces waste (sold separately)

  • Zep Protective Hand Cream- Barrier lotion applied before work that facilitates subsequent cleansing and provides additional skin protection (sold separately)
  • Fast Orange Cleansing Wipes- Waterless cleaning solution for emergency situations or areas without access to a sink (sold separately)
  • Replacement pump distributor- Universal compatible pump to transform your bottle into a self-contained benchtop dispenser (sold separately)

Care and Usage

First Use

Preparing your new Cherry Bomb cleaner:

1. Container inspection:
Check that the safety seal on the cap is intact and that the bottle is not leaking. Examine the color of the gel, which should be a uniform, clear pink. If the product appears separated, gently shake the bottle before first use.

2. Installation and accessibility:
Place the bottle in the immediate vicinity of your washing area, ideally next to the sink or on a dedicated holder. If using a wall-mounted dispenser, install the pump according to the manufacturer's instructions, ensuring it is fully inserted into the neck. Test the pump with a few pumps to prime the system.

3. Initial Application Test:
Apply a small amount to your hands to familiarize yourself with the texture and quantity needed. A pea-sized amount, about the size of a two-dollar coin, is usually enough for a thorough washing of both hands. Adjust the amount according to the typical level of soiling in your work environment.

4. User training:
If multiple people will be using the product, demonstrate the proper technique to maximize effectiveness while minimizing waste. Emphasize the importance of thoroughly massaging the product in before rinsing for best results.

Regular Maintenance

To maximize the lifespan of your Cherry Bomb and maintain its optimal efficiency:

After each use:

  • Close the cap tightly to prevent solvent evaporation and maintain the gel's consistency.
  • Wipe away any product residue from the outside of the bottle or neck to prevent sticky buildup.
  • Check that the dispenser or pump is not blocked by dirt particles.

Distributor management (if applicable):

  • Clean the dispenser pump once a week by pumping warm water through the mechanism.
  • Inspect the pump seals monthly for any wear or potential leaks.
  • Replace the pump every 6 to 12 months, depending on usage frequency, to maintain accurate dosing.

Stock rotation and monitoring:

  • Use the first-in, first-out principle if you are storing multiple bottles.
  • Check the remaining level weekly to avoid stockouts
  • Note the opening date on the bottle to track its expiration date.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Container cleaning (reuse):

Once empty, the bottle can be cleaned and reused for other applications. Rinse thoroughly with hot water for two to three minutes until the rinse water runs clear. Use a bottle brush to reach the inside walls if necessary. Allow to air dry completely before reuse. Never reuse for storing food or drinking liquids.

Wall dispenser maintenance:

Disassemble the pumping mechanism quarterly for thorough cleaning. Soak the components in warm, soapy water for 15 minutes, then rinse and dry. Lightly lubricate the moving seals with food-grade grease to maintain smooth operation. Inspect the pump spring and replace it if the tension decreases.

Maintenance of the storage area:

Clean the shelf or stand where the bottle rests monthly to remove spills and residue. A simple damp cloth with mild detergent is sufficient. Ensure the surface remains dry to prevent corrosion of metal shelves and maintain a secure grip for the container.

Precautions for Use

For your safety and that of your colleagues:

Avoid contact with eyes:
The product contains solvents that may cause eye irritation. In case of accidental contact, rinse immediately and thoroughly with clean water for at least 15 minutes and consult a doctor if irritation persists.

Do not ingest:
Cherry Bomb is designed for external use on hands only. In case of accidental ingestion, do not induce vomiting, drink water, and contact a poison control center or doctor immediately. Keep out of reach of children at all times.

Use in a ventilated area:
Although the formula has a low odor, use the product in an area with adequate ventilation for your comfort. Confined environments without air circulation can concentrate solvent vapors.

Test patch for sensitive skin:
If you have particularly sensitive skin or a history of skin allergies, test the product on a small area of ​​skin before full use. Wait 24 hours to check for any reaction.

Operating temperature:
Use the product at room temperature for optimal effectiveness. Exposure to extreme temperatures may alter the gel's consistency. Do not allow it to freeze during Quebec's winter months.

Storage Tips

Short-term storage (daily use):

Store the bottle in use at room temperature between 15°C and 25°C in your workshop or wash area. Avoid direct sunlight, which can degrade the solvents and alter the product's color. Keep the cap tightly closed between uses to maintain freshness and effectiveness. The bottle can be left on a workbench or near the sink without any problem under these conditions.

Long-term storage (reserve stock):

For unopened bottles in stock, store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. The ideal temperature is between 5°C and 20°C to maximize shelf life. Stack bottles on their sides to save space, but no more than three high to prevent deformation of the lower containers. Keep away from electrical equipment and heat sources such as radiators or heaters.

Winter storage in Quebec:

If your workshop is not heated during the winter, take special precautions as freezing temperatures can damage the product. Although Cherry Bomb can withstand temperatures as low as -5°C without completely freezing, repeated freeze-thaw cycles will affect the stability of the formula. Transfer your bottles to a heated area if your workshop temperature regularly drops below 0°C. If the product has frozen, allow it to thaw naturally at room temperature for 24 hours and shake vigorously before use.

Shelf life with proper storage:

A sealed bottle stored under optimal conditions maintains its full effectiveness for 24 months from the date of manufacture. Once opened, use within 12 months to ensure best cleaning performance. Write the opening date on the label for easy tracking.

OUR ANSWERS TO YOUR QUESTIONS ABOUT ZEP'S CHERRY BOMB CLEANER

How long does a 3.78 L bottle last in an average workshop?

The duration of a 3.78-liter bottle of Cherry Bomb depends mainly on the number of users and the daily hand-washing frequency. For a single mechanic washing hands 4 to 6 times per day with the recommended amount, a 3.78-liter bottle typically lasts between 6 and 8 weeks of continuous use.

In a workshop with 3 to 5 full-time mechanics, the same bottle will last approximately 2 to 3 weeks depending on the intensity of the work. Body shops and paint shops, where washing is more frequent, may see this duration shortened to 10–14 days.

To maximize longevity, use an amount about the size of a two-dollar coin per wash, which is more than enough to clean both hands effectively. Installing a pump dispenser helps control portions and reduces waste by 20 to 30 percent compared to pouring directly from the bottle.

What is the difference between Cherry Bomb and other Zep cleaners like Fast Orange or TKO?

Cherry Bomb stands out primarily for its balanced formula that combines cleaning power and skin protection with a distinct cherry scent.

Unique formulation:

Cherry Bomb contains natural pumice for abrasive action, low-odor mild solvents, and a high concentration of protective emollients. Fast Orange uses citrus-based solvents with natural degreasing power and an orange fragrance, while TKO is the most aggressive cleaner in the lineup, containing strong industrial solvents for extreme grime.

Power level:

For light to medium dirt including automotive grease, oils, and fresh paints, Cherry Bomb offers the best performance. Fast Orange suits the same applications but with a superior ecological profile thanks to its naturally derived ingredients. TKO is reserved for the toughest grime such as hardened tar, epoxy resins, and heavy industrial contamination.

Impact on skin:

Cherry Bomb is the gentlest of the three with its phosphate-free, emollient-rich formula, allowing 10 to 15 daily washes without significant drying. Fast Orange provides similar gentleness with the added benefit of naturally moisturizing orange oil. TKO, although effective, requires applying a moisturizing cream after frequent use because its strong solvents can dry the skin more quickly.

Recommended choice:

Use Cherry Bomb as the main daily cleaner, keep Fast Orange for jobs requiring an eco-friendly or biodegradable product, and reserve TKO for emergencies with exceptionally stubborn grime.

Is Cherry Bomb compatible with all types of wall-mounted dispensers?

Yes, the 3.78-liter Cherry Bomb Zep bottle is compatible with most standard industrial wall-mounted dispensers on the market. The bottle’s neck follows the universal dimensions accepted by common industrial pump dispensers.

Direct compatibility:

Zep D-4000, D-3000, and similar models fit perfectly without modification. Most third-party dispensers from brands like Rubbermaid Commercial, Kutol, and ProLine also work without issues.

Cartridge systems:

For closed systems requiring specific cartridges, Cherry Bomb is not directly compatible. However, you can transfer the product into universal refillable cartridges available from several industrial equipment suppliers.

Recommended installation:

For optimal use, install the dispenser at elbow height, about 110 to 120 cm from the floor, for easy access without bending. Mount securely on a wall adjacent to the sink to reduce splashing during rinsing.

Alternative without dispenser:

The bottle can also be used directly thanks to its ergonomic handle and screw cap. This option is ideal for mobile workshops, service trucks, or small garages without a fixed wall installation.

What is included with the purchase of this bottle of Cherry Bomb?

Your purchase includes a single 3.78-liter bottle of Cherry Bomb Zep industrial hand cleaner with pumice formula. The robust high-density plastic container has a molded integrated handle for easy handling and pouring.

The airtight screw cap maintains product freshness and prevents leaks during storage and transport.

Bottle contents:

The transparent pink gel with visible pumice particles is ready to use immediately with no dilution required. The complete formula includes all solvents, emollients, and cleaning agents necessary for optimal performance from the first wash.

What is NOT included:

Wall-mounted dispenser or pump, nail brush, towels or washing equipment, additional moisturizer. These complementary accessories are available separately in our catalog and can be added to your order to optimize your cleaning experience.

Documentation provided:

Full product label with usage instructions in English and French, customer service phone numbers, emergency contact information in case of ingestion or eye contact, lot code for traceability, and manufacturing date. Safety data sheet available upon request or downloadable on the Zep website.

What is your return policy for Cherry Bomb?

Équipement Industriel Polar offers a generous 30-day satisfaction-guaranteed return policy on all our Zep cleaners, including Cherry Bomb. If the product does not meet your performance expectations or you are not fully satisfied for any reason, you may return it for a full refund or exchange.

Return conditions:

The bottle must contain at least 50 percent of its original content to be eligible for return, allowing a reasonable trial of the product. The container must be in its original condition without major damage, and the product must not have been contaminated with other substances. Keep your original proof of purchase as it will be required to process the return.

Simple procedure:

  • Contact our customer service by phone at 1-800-567-3206 within 30 days of receipt
  • Explain the reason for the return and obtain a return authorization number
  • Send the product back to our address with the authorization number clearly indicated on the package
  • Receive your refund within 5–7 business days after receipt and inspection of the product

How can I take care of my hands if I use Cherry Bomb multiple times per day?

Although Cherry Bomb is enriched with protective emollients that minimize dryness, repeated use of any industrial cleaner requires a hand-care routine to maintain long-term skin health.

Recommended daily routine:

Apply a high-quality professional hand cream immediately after the last wash of your shift. Creams containing glycerin, shea butter, or vitamin E oil offer the best overnight repair. Massage generously, focusing on knuckles, the backs of the hands, and cuticles, where skin dries most quickly.

Preventive protection:

Before starting your workday, apply a protective barrier cream to clean, dry hands. These specialized products create an invisible film that makes future cleaning easier and reduces the absorption of contaminants into the skin. This reduces the need for vigorous scrubbing and preserves natural skin oils.

Optimal washing technique:

Use Cherry Bomb on dry hands for maximum effectiveness with less product. Massage for 30 to 45 seconds, focusing on dirty areas before rinsing with lukewarm water—never hot water, as overly hot water dries skin further. Dry completely with a clean towel by patting rather than rubbing to avoid irritation.

Signs to watch for:

If your hands become red, cracked, or painful despite regular moisturizing, reduce wash frequency when possible and consult a dermatologist. Wear protective gloves during tasks to limit exposure to contaminants and reduce the need for repeated washing. For very sensitive skin, alternate with no-rinse cleaning wipes for intermediate washes that are less critical.

Can I use Cherry Bomb to clean surfaces other than my hands?

Cherry Bomb is specifically formulated and tested for cleaning human hands, and we strongly recommend using it only for its intended purpose. Its pH is balanced for human skin, and its emollients are designed to protect skin tissue—not industrial surfaces.

Not recommended uses:

Do not use Cherry Bomb to clean tools, workbenches, floors, or equipment. The solvents in the formula can damage certain plastics, paints, or protective coatings. Additionally, the product leaves a slightly oily residue from the emollients, which can make surfaces slippery or attract dust.

Alternative for surfaces:

Zep offers a full range of industrial cleaners formulated specifically for different surfaces and materials. For metal workbenches and tools, consider Heavy Duty Citrus Degreaser. For workshop floors, All-Purpose Cleaner & Degreaser offers better performance without slippery residue.
