Why this washing up liquid earns its place
Fairy Professional is built for the volume and grease load of a working kitchen rather than a domestic sink, delivering degreasing power strong enough to lift grease and food residue off pots, pans, plates and cutlery without needing repeated applications.
The concentrated formula means a little goes further per wash than a standard washing-up liquid, which matters when the sink is in constant use through service.Beyond the grease-cutting, it's formulated to kill 99.9% of bacteria on the sponge itself — the part of a washing-up routine that's easy to overlook but is often the dirtiest tool in the kitchen.
That antibacterial action helps keep the whole washing-up process more hygienic, not just the items coming out of the water.It isn't limited to tableware either — the same bottle is suited to general surface cleaning, including windows, mirrors, tables and seating, so it can cover more of a front-of-house or back-of-house clean without switching products.Supplied as a super-concentrated blue liquid, perfumed, in 8 litres total (two 4 litre bottles per pack), it's recommended for professional use and carries an irritant hazard label — standard for a concentrated degreasing detergent, so normal care with gloves and rinsing applies as with any commercial washing-up liquid.
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.
