Description
What Is Agar Dish-Kleena?
Agar Dish-Kleena is a high-foaming, neutral-pH detergent made for hand dishwashing in commercial kitchens. It’s built to lift grease and food residue off crockery, glassware, cutlery, pots and pans without leaving the harsh, drying feel that a lot of heavy-duty kitchen detergents have, and it stays effective across both soft and hard water supplies.
Key Benefits of Agar Dish-Kleena
- High-foaming formula for effective hand dishwashing
- Neutral pH is gentler on hands during repeated use
- Performs well in both soft and hard water
- Concentrate dilutes down for economical everyday use
- Rinses clean without leaving residue on crockery or glassware
- Phosphate-free formulation with biodegradable ingredients
How Does Agar Dish-Kleena Work?
Dish-Kleena combines anionic and nonionic surfactants that surround and lift grease, oils and food particles away from dish surfaces, holding them in suspension in the wash water rather than letting them redeposit on already-cleaned items. The high-foaming action helps operators gauge how much detergent is still active in the sink, so kitchen staff can top up only when the suds start to drop rather than guessing at dosing.
How to Use Agar Dish-Kleena
Dish-Kleena is a concentrate and needs to be diluted with water before use. For general dishwashing, a working range of around 1:50 to 1:200 covers most everyday kitchen soil levels, with a stronger mix used for heavier grease and a lighter mix for routine light soiling. Add the measured detergent to a sink of warm water, wash items by hand, and rinse clean. Because it’s a concentrate, only a small amount is needed per sink fill, and the concentrate itself should be handled with gloves and eye protection since it carries a Danger signal word in its undiluted form, while no special PPE is needed once it’s diluted to normal working strength in the sink.
| Step | Detail |
| Dilute | Add a measured amount of concentrate to a sink of warm water, working within roughly a 1:50 to 1:200 range depending on soil level |
| Wash | Wash dishes, glassware, cutlery and cookware by hand in the sudsy water |
| Rinse | Rinse items clean and allow to air dry or towel dry as normal |
What Can Agar Dish-Kleena Be Used On?
Dish-Kleena is suited to everyday hand dishwashing of crockery, glassware, cutlery, pots, pans and general kitchen cookware in cafes, restaurants, commercial kitchens and catering operations.
