The Jantex FS416 is one of those unsung heroes of commercial hygiene. It’s not flashy, but its performance in a professional environment is spot on.

- Best for kitchens: The totally odourless formula is perfect for food prep areas.
- Not a foam soap: Be aware it’s a lotion, so won't work in foaming dispensers.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Rutland Pie Co., a popular artisan bakery in Oakham, needed to switch their hand wash. Their previous scented soap was causing issues during the delicate process of hand-crafting pastry, with staff worried about flavour transfer.
"We switched to the Jantex FS416 and the difference was immediate. It cleans brilliantly, there's no scent to worry about, and our team's hands are in much better condition. It’s a simple product that has solved a genuine problem for us."
Michael Davies – Owner
The switch completely eliminated the risk of scent contamination in their products and ensured full compliance with their latest food safety inspection.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before first use, make sure your soap dispenser is clean and free of any old residue.
- Check that your dispenser is suitable for a standard liquid hand lotion, not a specialist foam or spray.
- Pour carefully from the hand wash lotion 5l container to avoid spills, using a funnel if needed.
- After filling, prime the dispenser pump a few times until the soap flows smoothly.
Keeping It Going
- Wipe down the nozzle of the dispenser regularly to prevent clogs and keep it looking professional.
- Store the main 5-litre container with the cap screwed on tightly in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Keep an eye on the soap levels in your dispensers to ensure you never run out during a busy service.
- When empty, rinse the container thoroughly before recycling, following your local council's guidelines.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this soap antibacterial?
A: This is a highly effective cleansing hand wash. While it removes germs through the action of washing, its primary purpose is cleaning, not sanitising with antibacterial agents. Proper washing technique is the most important factor for hygiene.
Q: Can I use this in a foaming soap dispenser?
A: No, this is a liquid lotion soap. It is designed for standard pump-action liquid soap dispensers and will not work correctly in a dispenser that requires a special foaming solution.
Q: Is it suitable for people with sensitive skin?
A: Yes, its pH-neutral and phosphate-free formula is specifically designed to be gentle on the skin, making it a great choice for environments where frequent hand washing is required.
Q: What exactly does 'non-tainting' mean?
A: It means the soap is completely free of perfumes or residual chemicals that could transfer from your hands to food, ensuring the taste of your dishes is never affected.
Q: Do I need to dilute this product before use?
A: No, this is a ready to use hand soap. It's formulated for maximum convenience, so you can pour it directly into your dispensers without any mixing.
Q: Is the 5-litre container recyclable?
A: The container is made from plastic that is widely recyclable. Please rinse it out and check with your local council's recycling guidelines.
Q: How much lather does it produce?
A: It creates a smooth, rich lotion-like lather that cleans effectively without being overly bubbly or foamy, so it rinses off easily.
Q: Is this product suitable for both staff and customer use?
A: Absolutely. Its gentle, effective, and odourless formula makes it ideal for kitchen use, while its high quality is perfectly suitable for front-of-house customer washrooms too.

Explore more from JantexWhy a 'Non-Tainting' Formula is a Kitchen Essential
Ever wondered what 'non-tainting' really means? Think of it like this: you wouldn't chop chillies and then prepare a fruit salad without washing your hands, right? The spicy oils would transfer and ruin the fruit. A scented or poorly formulated soap can do the same thing on a more subtle level. Strong floral or citrus perfumes in a hand wash can cling to hands and then transfer to delicate foods like bread, cheese, or fresh fish, altering their intended taste.
A non-tainting, odourless formula like this one is the professional’s choice because it’s a true neutral. It effectively removes grease and grime without leaving any scent or chemical residue behind. It's the ultimate guarantee that after washing, your hands are nothing but clean, ensuring the food you prepare tastes exactly as it should. It’s a small detail that makes a huge difference to quality and consistency.
