Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about commercial cleaning chemicals, including product types, dilution, safe use, cleaning different surfaces and choosing suitable products for your business.
What are commercial cleaning chemicals?
Commercial cleaning chemicals are products designed for cleaning and maintaining professional environments. They include multipurpose cleaners, degreasers, glass cleaners, bleach, detergents and specialist surface cleaning products. Businesses use them to remove dirt, grease, stains and other residues from suitable surfaces.
What cleaning chemicals do commercial cleaners use?
Professional cleaners use different cleaning chemicals depending on the task and surface. Common products include general purpose cleaners, degreasers, glass cleaners, floor cleaners, disinfectants and washroom cleaning solutions. The right products depend on the premises, cleaning requirements and manufacturer’s instructions.
How should commercial cleaning chemicals be stored?
Store commercial cleaning chemicals in their original labelled containers, following the manufacturer’s instructions and safety data sheets. Keep incompatible products separate and restrict access where necessary. Never mix cleaning chemicals, particularly bleach with acidic products or ammonia-based cleaners, as dangerous gases can be released.
What is the difference between cleaning and disinfecting?
Cleaning removes dirt, grease and other residues from surfaces. Disinfecting uses an appropriate product to reduce or inactivate specified microorganisms when used correctly. Not every general purpose cleaner is a disinfectant. Check the product label for its intended purpose, required contact time and any relevant efficacy claims.
