Charlotte Rayner – Commercial Cleaning View Profile →
- Pro: Its rapid contact time is a huge plus for high-turnover kitchens.
- Con: As a concentrate, it requires careful staff training on correct dilution.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The team at 'The Northern Cobbler Café' in Leeds needed to streamline their closing-down procedure. They were using different products for degreasing, general cleaning, and disinfecting, which was inefficient and costly.
"We switched to the Cif SafeGuard 2-in-1 food safe cleaner to simplify everything. It's brilliant. It tackles the grime from the coffee machine and the grease from the toastie grill in one go. Our staff are happier, and the place has never felt cleaner."
Michael Davies – Owner
The switch simplified their COSHH management and cut their nightly cleaning chemical usage by almost a third.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Always wear suitable gloves and eye protection when handling the concentrate.
- For best results and safety, dilute accurately using a designated measuring jug or a pelican pump dispenser.
- Use clearly labelled spray bottles for the diluted solution to prevent any mix-ups with other chemicals.
- Ensure the COSHH safety data sheet is readily available for all staff who will be using the product.
Keeping It Going
- Store bottles upright in a cool, dry, and secure chemical cupboard, away from direct sunlight.
- Keep bottle caps screwed on tightly to prevent spills and maintain the product's effectiveness.
- Never, ever mix this product with other cleaning chemicals, especially any containing bleach, as this can create hazardous fumes.
- Regularly check your stock levels to ensure you never run out mid-shift.

Explore more from Pro-FormulaWhy 'BS EN 1276 Certified' is a Mark of Trust
You see 'BS EN 1276' on lots of cleaning products, but what does it actually mean for your kitchen? Think of it as a professional benchmark. It's not just a marketing claim; it's a rigorous European standard that proves a disinfectant kills 99.999% of bacteria within a specific 'contact time'. For this Cif Pro Formula disinfectant for catering, that time is just 30 seconds.
Imagine you're baking a cake. You can't just flash it in the oven for a second; it needs a set amount of time at the right temperature to be properly cooked. It's the same with disinfectant. The 'contact time' is how long the surface needs to stay wet with the product to ensure the germs are eliminated. A fast, 30-second contact time is a massive advantage in a busy kitchen, allowing for quick, effective cleaning between tasks without slowing down your service.
Who Should Buy This?
- Restaurant & Pub Kitchens: For daily deep cleaning of worktops, hobs, and floors to maintain impeccable hygiene standards.
- Busy Cafés & Sandwich Bars: To quickly sanitise food prep areas and customer tables between services, ensuring safety.
- Schools & Care Homes: Where robust, perfume-free disinfection is essential for protecting vulnerable individuals in canteens.
- Mobile Catering Units: An essential supply for on-the-go food vans, ensuring consistent cleaning standards anywhere you work.
