Caustic Plant, Drain and Oven Cleaner 5ltr

Professional Caustic Oven, Drain & Food Plant Cleaner

Heavy Duty Caustic Plant, Drain & Oven Cleaner is a powerful professional cleaning chemical designed for some of the toughest grease and fat-removal applications encountered within commercial kitchens, catering operations and food-processing environments.

The highly alkaline caustic formulation combines sodium and potassium hydroxide with low-foaming biodegradable surfactants and sequestrants to attack stubborn fatty deposits, baked-on grease and carbonised food contamination.

Its versatile formulation allows the same professional product to be used for oven and range cleaning, blocked drains, grease traps, heavy-duty food plant cleaning and soaking greasy or carbonised utensils, making it particularly useful in demanding commercial environments.

Heavy Duty Commercial Oven Cleaner

Baked-on grease, fat and carbonised food deposits can be extremely difficult to remove using conventional kitchen cleaning products.

This heavy-duty caustic cleaner penetrates and softens stubborn carbonised build-up on ovens and kitchen ranges, allowing contamination to be removed more effectively during deep-cleaning procedures.

For oven cleaning, dilute 1 part product to 7 parts water and apply to warm equipment using an appropriate spray or sponge. Allow the solution to penetrate and soften the carbonised build-up before rinsing thoroughly with fresh water.

Powerful Drain & Grease Trap Cleaner

Fat, grease and food residues are common causes of blocked drains and grease traps within commercial kitchens and food-processing premises.

The powerful caustic action of this cleaner helps liquefy accumulated fatty deposits, making it suitable for remedial treatment of appropriate blocked drains and food traps.

For blocked drains and food traps, remove excess standing water and carefully introduce approximately 1 litre of product into the affected drain or blockage. Allow approximately 30 minutes to act before flushing thoroughly with water.

Heavy Duty Food Plant Cleaning

The product is also designed for general heavy-duty cleaning within food plants and other appropriate commercial food-processing environments.

For general plant cleaning, dilute 1 part product to 80 parts water and apply by appropriate mopping, scrubbing or pressure-washing methods. Surfaces should be thoroughly rinsed after cleaning.

Its low-foaming formulation also makes it suitable for specified manual and circulation-cleaning applications.

Soaking Greasy & Carbonised Utensils

Heavily contaminated utensils can be soaked using a solution of 1 part cleaner to 20 parts water to help loosen grease and carbonised deposits.

After treatment, utensils must be thoroughly rinsed with clean water according to the product instructions.
