Why this multi purpose cleaner earns its place
Dettol's Antibacterial Surface Cleaner is built around a trusted formula that kills 99.9% of bacteria, delivered as a non-bleach, no-taint spray safe to use around food preparation and baby equipment — two areas where a harsher chemical or one that leaves any trace of taste or smell simply isn't an option.
That combination of genuine antibacterial performance and food-safe gentleness is the whole point of the product.It conforms to recognised standards — BS EN 1276, BS EN 14476 and BS EN 13697 — giving objective backing to the bacteria kill claim rather than relying on marketing language alone.
Being supplied ready to use, there's no mixing or diluting before it goes to work, which suits fast turnaround cleaning between tasks rather than a product that needs preparation first.The named uses cover a genuinely wide spread of a working kitchen and its surrounding areas: kitchen surfaces, draining boards, chopping boards, high chairs, changing mats, fridges, bins, kitchen sinks, baths and taps. That range makes it a sensible one-bottle solution for anywhere in a commercial kitchen, staff area or guest-facing bathroom where surfaces need disinfecting without a chemical smell or taste risk lingering afterwards.At 1 litre and ready to use, it's sized for a spray bottle kept within reach at a cleaning station rather than a bulk refill, ideal for quick, repeated use through a shift on surfaces that get touched constantly and need reliably disinfecting rather than just wiped down.
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.
