- Con: As a concentrate, it requires careful measuring for correct dilution.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Salty Siren, a popular harbourside bistro in Whitby, was struggling with their ice machine. It was producing cloudy, slow-melting ice and had a faint, musty odour, forcing staff to buy in bags of ice during busy shifts. They needed a reliable solution that was both effective and easy for any staff member to use.
"We were constantly worried about the state of our ice machine. After the first clean with the Ice N Clean concentrate, the difference was astounding. The ice is now crystal clear, odour-free, and the machine produces a full batch almost 20% faster than before. The colour indicator gives us total confidence it's rinsed properly."
Mark Chen – Head Chef
The bistro has now eliminated the need for emergency ice purchases, saving them over £50 a week during the tourist season and ensuring consistent quality.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Always wear protective gloves and eyewear before handling the concentrate.
- Turn off and empty the ice machine completely before you begin cleaning.
- Carefully measure and dilute the solution with water according to the 1:15 ratio.
- Circulate the solution through the machine for the recommended 30-minute contact time.
Keeping It Going
- Rinse the system thoroughly with fresh water until the discharge water runs clear.
- Establish a regular cleaning schedule (e.g., monthly) to prevent heavy build-up.
- Wipe down the exterior and bin of the machine regularly between deep cleans.
- Store the container tightly sealed in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How often should I clean my commercial ice machine?
A: We recommend a deep clean every 3 to 6 months, depending on usage and water hardness. However, a monthly clean is best practice for busy venues.
Q: Is this product a descaler and a sanitiser?
A: Yes, this is a dual-action formula. It's an ice machine descaler concentrate that removes mineral deposits and also a disinfectant that tackles bacteria, mould, and slime.
Q: Is it safe to use on all ice machine brands?
A: It's formulated to be safe on most common materials found in ice machines, including plastic, nickel-plated parts, and aluminium. It's suitable for the vast majority of brands.
Q: What does the 1:15 dilution ratio mean?
A: It means you should mix one part of the concentrated cleaner with fifteen parts of water to achieve the correct, effective strength.
Q: Will this cleaner leave a chemical taste or smell in the ice?
A: No. The formula is odourless, and the colour indicator ensures you can rinse it away completely, leaving no residue or aftertaste.
Q: What is 'contact time' and why is it 30 minutes?
A: Contact time is the minimum duration the solution needs to be in contact with the surfaces to effectively dissolve scale and kill germs. 30 minutes ensures a thorough clean.
Q: Can I use this to clean other kitchen equipment?
A: This product is specifically formulated and tested for the materials and soils found in ice machines. We recommend using dedicated cleaners for other appliances.

Ever wondered if you've rinsed your equipment properly after cleaning? The Ice N Clean's built-in colour indicator is designed to solve that exact problem. Think of it like a simple traffic light system for your ice machine's internal plumbing. When you circulate the diluted cleaning solution, it has a distinct colour, letting you know it's actively working.
Once the cleaning cycle is done and you begin to flush the system with fresh water, you simply watch the water coming out. As long as you can see the colour, there's still cleaning agent present. The moment the water runs completely clear, you have a 100% visual confirmation that every trace of the cleaner has been flushed away. This means your machine is not only clean but also perfectly safe to start making fresh, taste-free ice immediately.
