Why this disinfectant earns its place
Flash Professional's disinfecting degreaser is built specifically for kitchen work surfaces, including those in direct contact with food, combining cleaning, degreasing and disinfection in one ready-to-use spray. It kills 99.99% of bacteria and enveloped viruses – including SARS-CoV-2 and its variants – within just 15 seconds of contact, disinfecting to European Norms EN1276, EN13697 and EN14476.
The formula is unperfumed and bleach-free, which matters in food prep areas where strong fragrances or bleach residue can taint food or clash with what's being cooked nearby. It's safe to use across the range of surfaces found in a working kitchen – stainless steel, enamel, ceramic, marble and melamine – so one spray covers most of what needs wiping down between tasks.
It's built to slot into HACCP protocols as a non-corrosive product, and comes in a recyclable bottle containing 50% recycled plastic (excluding the trigger), so it fits kitchens paying attention to their environmental footprint as well as their hygiene standards. As with any biocide, it should be used following the label instructions and product information.
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.
