Although the product sheet states you can mix it at up to 200:1, obviously Facto AT30's effectiveness will decrease as a degreaser.
I've used it straight since I first started using the product (formerly named Swish Indo 505) back in 1986.
What I do...
The 20 liter pail of AT30 is a handful to handle so I screw a pump available from Swish for about $5 into the lid opening. Then I pump a liter or less at a time into an old plastic bottle.
When using the product, I pour small amounts into a plastic container like the bottom 3 inches of a windshield washer bottle after its been cut off. When washing dirty greasy items, then only a small amount of the degreaser gets dirty as you dunk the paintbrush or toothbrush into the smaller container repeatedly....you end up wasting less AT30.
Rinse with plenty of water.
If you are as picky as I am, place a strip of heat shrink tubing around the metal band of your paint brush. This prevents any chance of it scratching any painted surface.
Old toothbrushes are invaluable.
