- Incredible Value: The dilution ratio offers an exceptionally low cost-per-use for businesses.
- Requires Dilution: Staff need clear instructions for correct mixing to ensure safety and effectiveness.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Golden Fryer, a popular fish and chip shop in Bristol, was struggling with thick grease buildup on their extraction filters and stainless steel backsplashes, making their daily clean-down a time-consuming chore.
"We were scrubbing for what felt like hours with standard cleaners and getting nowhere fast. The Cif concentrate lifts the day's grime in minutes, it's absolutely brilliant. The kitchen looks and feels cleaner, and the team is much happier."
David Chen – Proprietor
The switch resulted in a measured 40% reduction in time spent on end-of-day deep cleaning of fryers and surfaces.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Getting the Mix Right
- Always wear protective gloves and eyewear when handling the concentrate.
- For general cleaning, use the recommended dilution ratio of 1:38 (e.g., 20ml of degreaser to 760ml of water for a spray bottle).
- Use in a spray bottle for targeted cleaning on surfaces, hobs, and hoods.
- For large areas like floors, mix the solution in a bucket before mopping.
- Always rinse food contact surfaces with clean water after use.
Safe Storage & Handling
- Store the container upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Ensure the cap is tightly sealed to prevent leaks and spills.
- Keep cleaning chemicals stored in a dedicated area, away from food preparation zones.
- Keep the original label and Safety Data Sheet (SDS) accessible for staff reference.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this product safe to use on food preparation surfaces?
A: Yes, but it is crucial that any food contact surfaces are thoroughly rinsed with clean, fresh water after cleaning and before being used for food prep again.
Q: Is it safe for aluminium cooker hoods and filters?
A: Absolutely. This formula is specifically designed to be safe for use on aluminium, which is a common material in commercial kitchens.
Q: What is the exact dilution ratio?
A: The recommended dilution ratio is 1:38, meaning one part degreaser to 38 parts water for general purpose cleaning.
Q: Does it have a strong chemical smell?
A: No, it features a pleasant lemon perfume, making the cleaning environment much more agreeable than cleaners with harsh chemical odours.
Q: How many 750ml spray bottles can I make from one 5Ltr container?
A: You can make approximately 250 ready-to-use 750ml spray bottles, offering exceptional value.
Q: Can I use this to clean windows or glass?
A: It's not recommended. While it won't cause harm, a dedicated glass cleaner will provide a much better, streak-free finish.
Q: Do I need to use hot water for it to work?
A: It works effectively with cold water, but using warm water can help to boost its performance on particularly stubborn, greasy deposits.
Q: Do I need to wear PPE when using it?

Ever wondered what 'concentrate' really means for your business? Think of it like buying squash cordial instead of a pre-made fruit drink. With ready-to-use cleaners, you're mostly paying for water and bulky plastic bottles. This professional kitchen degreaser concentrate removes the water, giving you only the powerful active ingredients in a compact 5-litre container. When your staff mix it with water on-site, that one bottle transforms into up to 250 spray bottles or 50 full buckets of potent cleaning solution. This simple difference means you're not paying to ship and store water, dramatically lowering your costs and slashing your plastic waste. It's the smarter, more economical, and greener way to keep your kitchen spotless.
