Chemkleen: your questions answered

What is the difference between Chemkleen and Chemkleen Clear?

Chemkleen is the general bactericidal hand and body soap — factory basins, shower blocks, workshop washrooms. Chemkleen Clear is the clear disinfecting hand-soap grade that fish factories dispense at production entrances and toilets, where a visible-residue-free, food-adjacent soap is wanted. Same family, same factory; choose Clear where food handling makes the disinfection claim part of your hygiene documentation.

Why a bactericidal soap instead of ordinary soap?

Ordinary soap removes soil and some microbes mechanically; a bactericidal soap adds an active that keeps reducing the bacterial load. At a food plant, clinic or mine change-house, that difference shows up in swab results. It also matters in shower blocks used by whole shifts — the segmentations list Chemkleen for exactly these communal-hygiene settings, from nurseries to engineering works.

What pack sizes and dispensers does Chemkleen come with?

Bulk 1 L, 5 L and 25 L packs refill the wall dispensers we supply from the consumables range — no proprietary cartridges, so the refill price stays honest. For a new facility we typically quote dispensers plus a first fill plus a standing refill order in one line item; for an existing one, our dispensers accept bulk soap regardless of what brand hardware you are replacing.

Is Chemkleen gentle enough for all-day use?

It is formulated as a hand and body soap, so it is built for repeated daily washing, unlike industrial degreasing pastes which belong at end-of-shift only. Where workers wash very frequently (food plants), gloves for the wet tasks keep skin condition up; where the soil is workshop grease, use Penetone or Magnus Waterless first and Chemkleen for the final wash.
