- Real Value: The concentrated formula offers a seriously low cost per clean.
- Careful Mixing: Needs accurate dilution with water to perform at its best.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Copper Kettle, a bustling tearoom in the heart of York, was struggling to find a cleaning product that could handle high footfall and frequent spills without an overwhelming chemical smell. They needed a cost-effective solution that reflected their high standards.
"We were going through so many 'ready-to-use' sprays a week, it was getting ridiculous. Switching to the Cif all-purpose cleaner concentrate has slashed our cleaning costs, and the fresh pine scent is a massive hit with staff and customers. It just smells properly clean and welcoming."
Robert Green – Owner
The switch resulted in a 50% reduction in their monthly spend on cleaning chemicals and significantly less plastic bottle waste.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Always dilute in a well-ventilated area before use.
- Use a dedicated, clearly labelled spray bottle or bucket for mixing to avoid confusion.
- For general cleaning in a bucket, mix 100-200ml of Cif into 10L of warm water.
- For spray bottles, a 1:50 ratio is approximately 15ml of concentrate for a standard 750ml bottle.
Keeping It Going
- Always store the container tightly sealed in a cool, dry place.
- Keep away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and out of reach of children.
- No special maintenance is needed, just smart and safe storage.
- Always refer to the safety data sheet (SDS) before initial use.

You're buying the pure, powerful cleaning ingredients without paying for the transport and packaging of water. With a 1:50 dilution ratio, this single 5-litre bottle of Cif Pro Formula pine fresh cleaner is like buying around 333 pre-mixed 750ml spray bottles. You simply add the water yourself on-site, which drastically cuts down on shipping costs, storage space, and plastic waste, delivering a far lower cost-per-clean than you'd ever get with a ready-to-use alternative.
