Seldet Bactericidal Washing Up Liquid
Seldet Bactericidal Washing Up Liquid combines BS EN 1040 performance with effective manual detergent cleaning for commercial kitchens.
The thick blue formula rinses freely and is non-tainting. Selden identifies it as suitable for aluminium and stainless steel, making it useful around catering equipment as well as at the washing-up sink.
Detergent Cleaning with a Defined Bactericidal Claim
Selden reports that Seldet passed BS EN 1040 at a 1:100 dilution, achieving a 99.999% kill of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus in that test.
The stated result relates to the named test organisms and conditions. The working strength and the contact time on the supplied label remain part of the bactericidal application method.
For Manual Pot Washing and Damp Wiping
The same manufacturer-stated 1:100 dilution applies to manual pot washing, glass washing and general damp wiping. This gives catering teams a consistent working strength across those listed tasks.
Seldet suits restaurant kitchens, hotel catering areas and cafés handling used dishes and utensils throughout service. Its combination of detergent cleaning and bactericidal activity provides a specific role within the kitchen cleaning routine.
BS EN 1040 bactericidal performance

This is the verified bactericidal standard for Seldet, alongside its non-tainting detergent cleaning for cookware, crockery, cutlery and glassware.
