Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Rutland Pie Company in Oakham needed to upgrade their hand wash stations. Their previous soap, while effective, had a slight fragrance that staff worried could transfer to their hand-finished pastry, a key selling point of their award-winning pies.
"We're meticulous about our ingredients and recipes, so the last thing we want is the taste of soap! The Jantex hand wash is fantastic. It's effective, completely odourless, and our team has even commented on how much less drying it is on their hands after a busy day of prep."
Michael Edwards – Owner
The switch completely eliminated any risk of flavour contamination, reinforcing their commitment to quality and providing staff with a more comfortable daily-use product.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Unscrew the cap and carefully remove the protective seal before first use.
- Pour the lotion directly into your chosen wall-mounted or freestanding soap dispenser.
- Ensure the dispenser nozzle and reservoir are clean to prevent cross-contamination.
- Position the dispenser at a convenient height next to every hand wash basin in your prep areas.
Keeping It Going
- Wipe down the exterior of your soap dispenser daily as part of your cleaning schedule.
- Check soap levels at the start of every shift to ensure you never run out unexpectedly.
- When refilling, it's good practice to empty and rinse the dispenser to prevent soap build-up.
- Store spare bottles upright in a cool, dry storeroom away from direct sunlight.

Ever sliced a lemon and then found everything you touch for the next hour has a hint of citrus? That’s flavour transfer in action. A 'non-tainting' formula is specifically engineered to prevent that from happening with soap. It means that after washing and rinsing, the soap leaves absolutely no residual fragrance, chemicals, or taste on your hands that could be passed onto ingredients.
Think of it like cleaning a painter's brush. You want to remove the paint, not add a new colour. This ready to use hand soap for restaurants cleans your hands thoroughly but leaves nothing behind. This is absolutely critical for businesses handling delicate items like fresh fish, cheese, wine, or baked goods, where an unwanted soapy note could ruin the customer's experience. It’s a guarantee that your food will taste exactly as you intended.
