Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Ship Inn, a popular harbourside pub in Penzance, was struggling with a bottleneck at their pot wash station, especially with greasy fish and chip baskets. They switched to the Persil Pro Formula to find a more efficient cleaning solution.
"We were double-washing pans during our Sunday roast service. Since we switched, one good wash is all it takes. The team gets through the washing up much faster, and the fresh scent is a nice bonus in a busy, hot kitchen."
Robert Davies ? Landlord
The change resulted in a noticeable reduction in water usage and cut down pot wash time by an estimated 20% during their busiest weekend shifts.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- For easy and consistent dosing, consider using a 5Ltr Pelican Pump (sold separately).
- Decant a small amount into labelled, smaller squeezy bottles for easy use at the sink.
- Start with a small squeeze in a sink of hot water; you can always add more but can't take it away!
- Post a simple dilution guide near the sink to ensure staff use the correct amount.
Keeping It Going
- Store containers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the formula's integrity.
- Always ensure the cap is tightly sealed after refilling smaller bottles to prevent spills and evaporation.
- Keep a spare 5Ltr container on hand and re-order when you open your last one to avoid running out.
- Rinse out empty containers before recycling according to your local authority guidelines.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use this in my commercial glasswasher or dishwasher?
A: No, this is a foaming detergent designed for manual washing in a sink only. Using it in a machine will cause excessive suds and can damage the appliance.
Q: Is this product effective in hard water areas?
A: Yes, the professional formulation is designed to be effective in both soft and hard water conditions, delivering a great clean regardless of your location.
Q: How does this compare to cheaper, non-professional brands?
A: It's significantly more concentrated. You'll use less product to achieve a better, faster clean on tough grease, making it more efficient and often more economical.
Q: Will the zest scent taint my plates or glasses?
A: Not at all. The formula is designed for easy and clean rinsing, so the fresh scent washes away completely, leaving your tableware neutral and ready for service.
Q: Is it safe to use on delicate items like fine china or crystal?
A: Yes, when used as directed, it is perfectly safe for all standard kitchenware, from tough stainless steel pans to delicate glassware.
Q: What is the recommended dilution ratio?
A: For general washing, a 1:1000 ratio (e.g., 5-10ml per 10L of hot water) is a great starting point. For very heavy grease, you can use a slightly stronger solution.
Q: Do I need to wear gloves when using this?
A: While the formula is skin-friendly for incidental contact, we always recommend wearing washing up gloves during prolonged use to protect your skin, as is best practice in any commercial kitchen.
Q: What is the shelf life of the product?
A: When stored correctly in a cool, dry place with the cap on, the product typically has a shelf life of at least two years.

This reliability removes guesswork for your kitchen staff, reduces waste from using too much product, and helps maintain the high hygiene standards your customers expect.

It's the assurance of a professional result, wash after wash.
Explore more from Pro-FormulaWhat Makes a 'Professional Formulation' Different?
You often see 'professional formulation' on cleaning products, but what does it actually mean for your kitchen? It's not just about being 'stronger'; it's about being smarter. This formulation contains a higher concentration of active ingredients called surfactants. These are the workhorses of the liquid, specifically engineered to grab onto grease and oil molecules and lift them away from surfaces.
Think of it like this: a standard soap is like using a simple dustpan and brush ? it gets the job done eventually. A professional formulation is like using a powerful vacuum cleaner ? it's designed to trap and remove dirt far more efficiently with less physical effort. This is why you need less of the zest scent washing up liquid to do a better job, saving your team time and your business money on every single wash.
