Use-Cases and Compatibility:

Oates’ commercial kitchen cleaning chemicals are made for areas that see heavy use and need deeper cleaning to stay in good condition.

Here’s how different products can be used in your kitchen:

• Ovens and grills - A strong commercial oven cleaner helps break down burnt carbon and older grease on ovens, salamanders and grill plates. Using durable gloves gives staff safer, more controlled handling.

• Cooktops and benchtop equipment - A commercial kitchen degreaser keeps metal and ceramic surfaces tidy and supports smooth changeovers between service rounds.

• Sinks and dish areas - High-foaming detergents support dish areas by cutting through greasy residue on stainless steel sinks and plastic tubs. Workflows stay smooth when staff use a good cleaning scourer to remove stubborn grime.

• Food-contact surfaces - All-purpose cleaners are well-suited to timber, coated surfaces and durable plastics used around prep stations.

• Floor and hard-water zones - Industrial scaler removers handle mineral build-up on tiles, sealed concrete and metal drainage areas exposed to constant moisture.

Comparing Commercial Kitchen Cleaning Products

Commercial kitchen cleaning chemicals play a different role in managing workloads in busy prep areas. This quick comparison gives teams a clearer sense of what each option handles well and where it may fall short.

Care and Maintenance:

Safety is essential when working with commercial kitchen cleaning chemicals, and a few habits help teams handle them confidently.

• Wear protective gear - Gloves and eye protection give staff better control while using a commercial oven cleaner. This lowers exposure and helps prevent splashes on hot surfaces.

• Avoid mixing products - It’s generally best to stick to one formula at a time unless the label clearly states otherwise. This prevents reactions that can affect staff or equipment.

• Ventilate the area - Open up the space so fumes don’t linger while tackling bigger cleaning tasks.

• Use controlled application - Apply disinfectants with slow, direct movements to avoid overspray. This is especially important when handling a commercial-grade disinfectant cleaner.

• Store in a stable environment - Keep sealed containers in a cool, dry space away from direct heat between uses.

FAQs

What is the difference between a disinfectant and a sanitiser?

A commercial grade disinfectant cleaner is designed to kill a wider range of bacteria and pathogens on high-touch surfaces. On the other hand, a sanitiser focuses on lowering bacteria levels to a safe threshold, which is ideal for quick-turnover kitchen tasks.

Both options are useful in busy kitchens, but they play different roles in keeping surfaces controlled during service.

How do I choose the right cleaning chemical for my kitchen?

Start by matching your needs to the product families in our range of commercial kitchen cleaning chemicals, as each one tackles different workloads. It also helps to consider surface type and how often your team performs deeper cleaning. Our expert team can provide guidance to help build your cleaning kit.

Are these cleaning chemicals safe for food contact surfaces?

Most all-purpose and detergent-based options are intended for benches, prep areas and equipment used around food. Always check the label for any rinsing steps required after application.

What are the best practices for storing cleaning chemicals?

Keep all products sealed and stored in a cool, dry space with good airflow. This is especially important for stronger formulas like a commercial oven cleaner, which benefits from stable conditions between uses.

How often should I clean my kitchen with these products?

Daily use is typical for dish areas, cooktops and prep benches, with heavier items used during deeper weekly or shift-based cleaning. High-use equipment like ovens or grills may need more frequent attention depending on workload.

Can these products be used in residential kitchens as well?

They can be used at home, but the strength of a commercial kitchen degreaser or similar formula may be more than a household space needs. If used in residential settings, lighter application and proper rinsing ensure safety and comfort.
