The Bryta Standard: More Than Just Clean

Choosing a brand like Bryta for your cleaning chemicals is about investing in consistency.

Their formulations are developed specifically for the demands of the UK catering industry, ensuring reliable performance that staff can trust. This consistency reduces training time, minimises waste from over-dosing, and protects your kitchenware from the damage that harsh, poor-quality chemicals can cause over time. It's not just a bottle of soap; it's a small but vital part of a smooth, compliant, and efficient kitchen operation.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Corner Bistro, a popular eatery in Cardiff, was finding their standard washing up liquid wasn't coping with the greasy pans from their new grill menu, leading to extra soaking time and staff frustration.

"We switched to the Bryta concentrate, and the difference was immediate. The team can now get through the washing up much faster, even after a hectic Saturday night. It just powers through the grease without any fuss, which is exactly what we needed."

Robert Davies – Head Chef

By switching, the bistro cut down its pot wash time by an estimated 20% during peak periods, freeing up staff to help with other closing duties.

Why a 'High Suds' Formula Cleans Better

Ever wondered what the bubbles in your washing up liquid actually do? A 'high suds' formulation isn't just for show. Think of the suds as tiny, active magnets for grease and food particles. When you wash, they trap the grime and lift it from the surface of your pots and pans, suspending it in the water. This stops the grease from simply moving around the sink and re-attaching to other dishes. It means you're truly removing the dirt, not just smearing it around, resulting in a faster, more hygienic, and genuinely cleaner result with less re-washing needed.

Installation and Maintenance Guide

Getting Started

  • For best results, dose into a clean, empty sink before adding warm water to activate the suds.
  • Use a pelican pump (GF368) for a precise 25ml dose, preventing waste and ensuring consistency.
  • While gentle, we always recommend wearing gloves during prolonged contact in a commercial setting.
  • Dilute according to the level of soiling – a small squeeze is often enough for general washing.

Keeping It Right

  • Store the bottle upright with the cap securely fastened in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  • Keep an eye on stock levels; this is a daily essential you don't want to run out of mid-service!
  • Routinely clean your dosing pump to prevent clogs and ensure it measures accurately.
  • Keep the Safety Data Sheet (available on request) accessible for your staff as part of COSHH compliance.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Detergent

Not sure what to look for? A good professional dishwashing detergent is a kitchen essential. Here’s a quick guide to help you choose the best fit for your business.

Concentrate vs. Ready-to-Use

Concentrates like this one offer brilliant value as you dilute them yourself, making your money go further. Ready-to-use versions are convenient but often less economical for high-volume use.

Skin Sensitivity

Look for pH-neutral formulas if your staff have sensitive skin or spend long hours at the sink. Always encourage the use of washing-up gloves for protection.

Hard Water Performance

If you're in a hard water area, you need a detergent that can prevent limescale and soap scum build-up. A high-quality formula is designed to work effectively in all water conditions.

Scented or Unscented

In a food environment, it's often best to choose unscented detergents. This ensures there's no risk of a chemical or floral fragrance transferring onto your plates and tainting food.

Dosing Systems

For consistency and cost control, choose a detergent that is compatible with a wall-mounted or bottle-based pump system. It prevents waste and ensures perfect results every time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this washing up liquid food safe?

A: Yes, it is formulated for use in professional kitchens. Once rinsed away correctly, it leaves no harmful residue, making it perfectly safe for all food-contact surfaces like plates, pans, and cutlery.

Q: Can I use this in my commercial glasswasher or dishwasher?

A: No, this is a manual detergent for sink use only. Using it in a machine would create excessive foam and could damage the appliance. You need a specific machine-safe detergent.

Q: How much should I use per sink?

A: Thanks to its concentrated formula, a little goes a long way. We recommend starting with a 25ml dose (one pump from a pelican dispenser) in an average-sized sink and adjusting based on soiling.

Q: Will it leave streaks on my glassware?

A: No, it has a fast-rinsing formula designed to leave glassware and crockery sparkling and streak-free when rinsed properly with clean water.

Q: Is it effective in cool or lukewarm water?

A: While hot water is always best for cutting through heavy grease, this formula is highly effective even in lukewarm water, helping you save on energy costs.

Q: Is this product safe to use on aluminium pans?

A: Yes, its neutral formulation is safe for use on most common kitchen materials, including stainless steel, ceramics, glass, and aluminium.

Q: Does it have a strong smell?

A: No, it has a neutral, clean fragrance that won't taint your dishes or leave a lingering chemical smell in your kitchen.

Q: What does 'concentrated' actually mean for my business?

A: It means you use less product to achieve the same or better result compared to a standard, non-concentrated liquid. This translates directly into lower costs per wash and less plastic waste.
