Everyone seems to love Simple Green, be aware it can cause hard to detect electrical connection corrosion problems. There are many warnings about using Simple Green in the Aviation Industry. This became such a problem that Simple Green came out with extreme simple green.

Other than the corrosive effects to electrical connections it is also taboo to use on high strength metal alloys due to Hydrogen Embrittlement which is a room temperature phenomenon where hydrogen present inside the material makes it brittle. High-strength steels, aluminum,, and titanium alloys are most susceptible. I bring this up as many who use Simple Green on their vehicles might be using it for other uses other than cleaning the shop floor. You also don't want to use cleaning agents that have a high alkali content such as Formula 409 or Fantastic!
