Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The King's Arms, a busy gastropub in York, was struggling with stubborn, burnt-on residue on their grill plates and roasting pans. The build-up was affecting cooking times and flavour, and the team was losing hours to scrubbing each night.

"We were spending ages scrubbing every night, and some pans we thought were beyond saving. The Xcarbonator powder brought them back to life after just one soak. It's saved us so much time and money on replacements."

David Chen – Head Chef

By reducing daily scrubbing time by over an hour, the kitchen team could focus on prep, effectively increasing evening service efficiency.

Why a Non-Caustic Formula is a Kitchen's Best Friend

So, what does 'non-caustic' actually mean for you and your kitchen? In simple terms, caustic cleaners use aggressive, corrosive chemicals (like caustic soda) that can be harsh on both your equipment and your staff. A non-caustic commercial carbon cleaner, on the other hand, is formulated to be tough on grime but gentle on surfaces.

Think of it like this: a caustic cleaner is like using sandpaper on a polished wooden table. It'll get a stubborn stain off, but it'll scratch and damage the finish in the process. This Xcarbonator powder is like using a specialised polish – it lifts the dirt while protecting the material underneath. This means your expensive stainless steel pans, aluminium trays, and cast iron grates won't get pitted or weakened over time, saving you a fortune on replacements and keeping them in service for longer.

Installation and Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

Always wear appropriate PPE (gloves and eye protection) when handling the powder.
Use in a well-ventilated area, preferably with a dedicated, correctly sized soak tank.
To avoid splashes, add the powder to hot water (around 80°C), not the other way around.
Follow the 5% dilution guide for optimal performance – a little goes a long way.

Keeping It Going

Store the powder in a cool, dry place away from any moisture or direct sunlight.
Keep the container sealed tightly when not in use to maintain its effectiveness.
Ensure the used solution is safely disposed of according to your local regulations.
Clearly label your soak tank to prevent any accidental misuse by staff.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Cleaner

Not sure which cleaning solution is right for your kitchen? Here’s a quick guide to help you decide.

Caustic vs. Non-Caustic

Caustic cleaners are aggressive but can damage softer metals like aluminium. Non-caustic is safer for a wider range of equipment and is generally preferred for staff safety.

Powder vs. Liquid

Powders are often more concentrated and cost-effective for bulk use, offering better value per litre of solution. They are also easier to store in large quantities.

Temperature Matters

Most decarbonisers work best in hot water. Check that you have a safe way to heat and maintain the water temperature in your soak tank for best results.

Safety First

Always check the MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) and ensure your staff have the right PPE, like gloves and goggles, before use.

Consider Your Needs

A heavy duty carbon remover powder is for deep cleaning. For daily surface wiping, a less potent, ready-to-use spray might be more suitable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What kind of equipment can I clean with this?

A: It's perfect for stainless steel, cast iron, and vitreous enamel. Ideal for pans, trays, grill plates, and extractor filters.

Q: Is it safe to use on aluminium?

A: Yes, its non-caustic formula is designed to be safe on aluminium, unlike aggressive caustic-based cleaners which can cause damage.

Q: How long do I need to soak items for?

A: For heavy carbon build-up, an overnight soak (6-8 hours) is best. For lighter grease, a few hours may be sufficient.

Q: Does the water need to be hot?

A: Yes, for best results, the powder should be dissolved in hot water (around 80°C) to fully activate its powerful cleaning agents.

Q: What does a 5% dilution mean in practice?

A: It means you should mix 50g of powder for every 1 litre of water. This 5kg tub makes 100 litres of full-strength solution.

Q: Is there a strong chemical smell?

A: It has a much lower odour profile compared to traditional caustic soda cleaners, making it more pleasant to use in enclosed kitchens.

Q: Will this remove rust from my pans?

A: Its primary function is to remove carbon and grease. While it may help lift surface contaminants, it's not a dedicated rust remover.

Q: Can I use this for cleaning my oven interior?

A: It is designed for soaking removable parts. For fixed oven interiors, we recommend using a specific oven-cleaning gel or spray for better application.
