How to choose the right Washing Up Liquid

• Match the pack size to your volume of washing; choose bulk 5L or multi-pack formats for busy restaurants, hotels and canteens.
• Consider concentrate strength so you can dilute accurately, reduce waste and keep per-wash costs under control.
• Check suitability for manual pot washing, glassware and general kitchenware to avoid streaks or residue.
• Look for professional-grade formulas that cut through heavy grease quickly, saving time at the sink during peak service.
• Review brand and fragrance preferences, such as citrus or original, to suit your staff and front-of-house environment.
• Ensure compatibility with your existing dosing systems or refill bottles for safe and efficient handling.

Care and maintenance

• Store washing up liquid containers upright in a cool, dry area away from food and direct heat sources.
• Wipe spills immediately and keep caps tightly closed to prevent leaks, contamination and product thickening.
• Use correct dilution rates as recommended by the manufacturer to protect staff skin and ensure effective cleaning.
• Rinse crockery, cutlery and glassware thoroughly after washing to remove detergent residues.
• Regularly clean and label any refill bottles or dosing equipment to maintain hygiene and accurate dosing.
• Follow COSHH and safety data guidance, providing gloves or other PPE where required for staff handling chemicals.
