Muc-Off Bike Cleaner Concentrate 1L (formerly Nano Gel) - Nano Tech Concentrated Cleaner

The 1-liter Muc-Off Bike Cleaner Concentrate — still known in Italy as Nano Gel Pouch — is the concentrated refill for Nano Tech cleaner. Diluting 1 part product to 3 parts water produces 4 liters of ready-to-use cleaner, with 89% less plastic than buying two bottles. The formula is biodegradable, also works as a concentrated degreaser, and is stated by the manufacturer to be safe on all surfaces, including carbon fiber and anodized metal, without damaging seals, pads, or brake discs.

Who is it perfect for

It's the choice for those who already have a Muc-Off spray bottle in their garage and don't want to buy a new one every time: a one-liter pouch fills that bottle four times, takes up little shelf space, and costs less per liter. It's also good for those who have both a motorcycle and a bike and want just one product for both, as the Nano Tech formula and the surfaces declared safe are the same. Those who wash occasionally and don't want to measure and mix will find the ready-to-use bottle quicker.

Frequently asked questions

How much cleaner do you get from one pouch?
Four liters. Muc-Off indicates a dilution of 250 ml of concentrate in 750 ml of water, so one liter of product fills a one-liter bottle four times. There is a graduated indicator on the pouch to help measure the 250 ml without having to estimate.

Why is it called Bike Cleaner and not Motorcycle Cleaner?
Because it is the reference for the bike line of the Muc-Off group. The Nano Tech technology and the surfaces declared safe by the manufacturer are the same as for motorcycle cleaner: carbon fiber, anodized metal, seals, pads, and discs. In Italy, many motorcycle dealers sell it as a generic refill, still under the old name Nano Gel.

Can it be used neat?
Only as a degreaser. Muc-Off recommends applying it neat to the chain area directly from the pouch, leaving it on for about 30 seconds, brushing, and rinsing. For washing the whole bike, it should always be diluted 1:3: using it neat on the entire bike would be wasteful and harder to rinse.

Does the pouch include the spray bottle?
No, the package only contains the concentrate. A 1-liter spray bottle is needed: the one from the Nano Tech Motorcycle Cleaner is fine once empty, which is exactly what this refill is designed for.

Is it the same product as the old Nano Gel?
Yes. Muc-Off has changed the trade name to "Bike Cleaner Concentrate 1L," but the item code remains 347 and the barcode remains 5037835347005. If you previously bought a one-liter Nano Gel pouch, this is the same item with updated packaging.

Does the diluted product keep?
Muc-Off does not publish a stated shelf life for the diluted mixture, so we prefer not to provide one. In practice, it's best to prepare only the bottle you need, keep it closed and protected from frost, and store the well-sealed concentrate pouch out of reach of children.
