Why this degreaser earns its place
This is Cleenol's general purpose heavy duty cleaner, a biodegradable degreasant built to handle oil and grease across a working kitchen rather than one specific job. Being non-perfumed is a deliberate choice — it means it can be used in food preparation areas without leaving a scent behind on surfaces or utensils.
It's rated for internal cleaning of deep fat fryers, one of the toughest degreasing jobs in any kitchen, as well as walls, floors and canopy filters — genuinely multi-purpose rather than stretched thin across jobs it's not suited to. It's also listed as ideal for use with floor scrubbing machines.
Supplied in 5 litre containers as a 2 pack, it's built for kitchens that go through general cleaning chemical steadily rather than the occasional touch-up. It carries an irritant classification, so standard gloves and ventilation apply during use, same as any concentrated degreaser.
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.
