Why this bleach earns its place
This is a concentrated bleach for general disinfecting and hard-surface cleaning, killing 99.9% of bacteria and germs. The characteristic chlorine scent is part of what signals a surface has actually been disinfected, not just wiped.
Used neat, it's suited to general disinfecting; diluted 1:80, it covers general mopping and surface cleaning, giving flexibility to match the dilution to the task while the concentrated formula keeps cost-per-use down.
It's suitable for most hard surfaces, but should be kept off chrome, stainless steel and aluminium, and never mixed with acids. This solution isn't food safe, so it's one for washrooms, toilets and floors rather than food-contact surfaces.
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.
