Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Field Kitchen, a popular farm-to-table restaurant in Hereford, wanted to align their cleaning supplies with their strong organic and sustainable ethos. They were using a standard detergent but found it clashed with their brand values and was harsh on their staff's hands.
"We needed a professional kitchen washing up liquid that worked as hard as we do, but was also green. Greenspeed delivered on all fronts. It lifts an entire Sunday roast service off our pans with no trouble, and the team loves that it's so gentle."
David Chen – Head Chef
After switching, The Field Kitchen reduced their detergent expenditure by over 25% due to the concentrated formula and eliminated a common source of skin irritation for their kitchen porters.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- For accurate dosing and maximum economy, use a pelican pump (sold separately) to dispense the concentrate.
- Always dilute in a clean, clearly-labelled container or sink before use, following the 1-4ml per 5Ltr water ratio.
- Store the main 5Ltr bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve its effectiveness.
- Pre-scrape plates to remove heavy food soil before washing, allowing the detergent to work on grease and grime.
Keeping It Going
- Keep the cap on the main container screwed on tightly to prevent contamination and maintain concentration.
- Regularly clean your sinks to avoid any soap residue build-up, ensuring a hygienic washing environment.
- Always rinse dishes, cutlery, and glassware with fresh, clean water after washing for a perfect, streak-free finish.
- Monitor your usage to re-order in good time, ensuring your kitchen never runs out of this essential item.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this detergent safe to use on all my kitchenware?
A: Absolutely. Its pH-neutral and gentle formula is suitable for manually washing all standard crockery, tableware, glassware, and utensils without causing damage.
Q: Does it have a strong or chemical smell?
A: No, it is free from artificial perfumes and harsh chemicals, so it has a very mild and neutral scent that won't linger on your dishes.
Q: How much foam does it produce?
A: It creates a light, controlled foam that is effective for cleaning but also easy and quick to rinse away, saving you time and water.
Q: Can I use this in my commercial dishwasher?
A: No, this is specifically designed for manual washing in a sink. Using it in a dishwasher could cause excessive foaming and potential damage to the machine.
Q: What does 'concentrate' mean in terms of value?
A: It means you are buying almost pure cleaning power. One 5-litre bottle can be diluted to create up to 5,000 litres of ready-to-use washing up solution, making it incredibly cost-effective.
Q: How eco-friendly is the bottle itself?
A: The packaging is a key part of its green credentials. The bottle is made using recycled plastic and is 100% recyclable after you've used it.
Q: Is it effective on tough, baked-on food like lasagne dishes?
A: Yes, the powerful vegetable-based formula is designed to cut through stubborn grease and baked-on food. For extremely tough jobs, a short soak in a warm, diluted solution will work wonders.
Q: What does pH-neutral mean for my staff?
A: It means the formula has a similar pH level to human skin, making it very gentle and non-irritating. It's a huge benefit for kitchen porters or anyone who spends a lot of time with their hands in the sink.

Explore more from GreenspeedWhat Makes ‘Cradle To Cradle’ Certification So Special?
You see 'eco-friendly' on labels all the time, but the Cradle To Cradle certification is a whole different level. It’s not just about being recyclable; it’s about designing a product with its entire life cycle in mind, ensuring zero waste. Think of it like an apple tree: it drops an apple, which decomposes and its nutrients feed the soil to help grow a new tree. Nothing is wasted, and the cycle is perfectly sustainable. A Cradle To Cradle product like this Greenspeed detergent is designed the same way. Every ingredient and piece of packaging is assessed to ensure it can be safely returned to the environment or be re-used by industry, creating a closed-loop system. It's the gold standard for sustainable design.
