Why this degreaser earns its place
This is Jantex Green's grease trap maintainer, using the same UK-cultivated enzyme technology found across the Green range, but formulated specifically to rapidly degrade fats, oils and grease (FOGs) in drainage pipes and grease traps in catering environments — the buildup that causes blockages and bad smells in kitchens more than almost anything else.
By breaking down organic matter rather than just flushing it further down the line, it helps clear drains and eliminate odours at source, and regular applications are built to keep drains flowing well enough to reduce the need for expensive professional jetting and rodding call-outs.
It's non-toxic and compatible with septic tanks, so it can be used routinely without the concerns that come with harsher chemical drain treatments. The 5 litre bottle is made from 40% recycled plastic, and the concentrated formula goes further than a ready-to-use equivalent, cutting down on both packaging and storage space.
COSHH: six habits of safe chemical use
Control of Substances Hazardous to Health — the routine every commercial kitchen and cleaning cupboard is expected to run.
SDS
Read the label and the manufacturer’s safety data sheet — the pictograms tell you what you are holding.
Who could be harmed, and how badly? Judge likelihood against severity before anyone opens the cap.
Eliminate or substitute first, engineer and organise next — PPE is the last line, never the first.
Keep the controls working: check ventilation, dosing equipment and storage stay as they should be.
Everyone who uses it knows the hazards, the correct dilution and the PPE — before the first shift, not after.
Products and processes change. Reassess when they do, and keep the record that proves it.
