Cleaning Chemicals

How to choose the right Cleaning Chemicals

• Assess the areas you need to clean most often, such as kitchens, bars, floors or washrooms, and select task-specific products for each zone.
• Choose between ready-to-use sprays, concentrates or sachets based on your storage space, staff training level and desired cost-per-use.
• Check compatibility with surfaces like stainless steel, glass, ceramic, vinyl or stone to avoid damage and ensure effective results.
• Consider eco friendly chemicals where possible to reduce environmental impact while still meeting hygiene and food safety standards.
• Match pack sizes and dosing systems to your service volume, from small cafes to large hotels and contract catering sites.
• Use colour-coded bottles and labelling to support HACCP procedures and prevent cross-contamination between areas.

Care and maintenance

• Always follow manufacturer dilution and contact-time instructions to ensure effective cleaning and disinfection.
• Store chemicals in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from food, and in clearly labelled containers and dispensers.
• Train staff to wear appropriate PPE such as gloves and eye protection when handling concentrates or strong descalers.
• Never mix different cleaning products, especially acids and bleaches, and dispose of empty containers according to local regulations.
• Rinse spray heads, pumps and dispensers regularly to prevent blockages and maintain accurate dosing.
• Review your cleaning schedule and product list periodically to ensure you are still compliant with current hygiene and safety guidelines.
