"We started with a formulation that we knew needed expert eyes on it. We wanted a manufacturer who wouldn’t just bottle our product, but would add real value – helping refine the formulation, support our growth, and source the right raw ingredients. That’s exactly what we’ve achieved with Cleenol. Working with a family-run business means you feel prioritised and get everyone’s full attention – it’s a completely different experience to dealing with huge, faceless global companies." Jordan Hurley, Owner of Soap₂o Cleenol recently partnered with Soap₂o to bring their vision of sustainable hand hygiene to life. We collaborated closely at every stage, keeping their team informed with the whole process. By combining their innovative concept with our white labelling expertise, we created a concentrated handcare range that reflects their brand and values.

Following a tender process, Young’s pubs decided to move away from their current provider. For the pub group, it was important to minimise any disruption a change might have on operations, which became a key cornerstone of the project. Cleenol was ultimately selected because of their ability to manage this changeover seamlessly. “The migration was so smooth, with excellent feedback from the pubs, that we had no doubt that converting 40+City Inns to Cleenol was a great move when we acquired them 6 months after the initial roll-out.” Bill Epsley, Group Head Commercial Manager at Young & Co.'s Brewery, P.L.C The Impact: 231 pubs transitioned in the first phase, with 40 more added the following spring.

In hotels, care homes and hospitality environments like pubs and restaurants stains aren't hard to come by. All it takes is an unfortunate accident and bam something that was once clean now has the remnants of red wine splattered all over it and suddenly you have a big challenge at your hand. That's why understanding your stains and using the correct treatment method is so important. What is this stain? There are several different stain types that require different treatment methods. There's not a 'one size fits all' method when it comes to stain removal. Organic stains require different treatment methods to oil-based stains which may be one of the reasons why your stain is being extra persistent. Organic stains are typically made up of coloured molecules (called chromophores) from natural sources, like coffee, wine, bodily fluids etc.. Oil-based stains as the name suggests are derived from sun cream, cooking oil etc.. Pigment & dye stains are generally the most stubborn stains to shift. They can be caused by things like makeup or fake tan. Galling/yellowing can be caused by things like sun exposure or sweat, making fabrics turn an unpleasant yellowy colour How do I get my stain out? Now that you know the difference between stains, treatment becomes a lot more effective. There are a range of treatment methods and products that are designed specifically target and treat specific types of stains. Whilst there are products that are better suited to different types of stains, it's important to remember that one product won't always completely remove every type of stain (in some cases incorrect product usage can make the stain worse!) and for best results you must treat the stain immediately. Type of stain Treatment method Organic stains Crystalbrite Laundry Oxy Stain Remover Oil based stains Crystalbrite Laundry Oil Emulsifier Pigment and dye stains Crystalbrite Laundry Oxy Stain Remover or Novaspotta Oxy Galling and yellowing Crystalbrite Laundry Sour How do stain removal treatments work? Different stain removal products use different types of chemistry to try and tackle tough stains which is why using the correct product will deliver the best results. Oxygen stain removal products use an active oxygen bleaching system which breaks down coloured compounds (the stain) into smaller, colourless molecules that can then be removed during washing. Oil based removal products target hydrophobic oily soils. The surfactant system works by emulsifying oils and fats, allowing them to disperse into the wash liquid and be rinsed away rather than remaining attached to fabric fibres. A laundry sour neutralises residual alkalinity left behind after washing. By lowering the pH back towards the optimum range, it can help improve fabric appearance/brightness, particularly where alkaline residues and mineral deposits have contributed to dullness or yellowing. Furthermore, this product can be used proactively to maintain fabric whiteness and reduce greying over time.

With so many soaps to choose from, how do you know which one is right for you? Why does soap have a pH? pH refers to how acidic or alkaline a substance is, measured on a scale from 0 to 14. A pH of 7 is neutral, while values below 7 are acidic and those above 7 are alkaline. The skin naturally has a slightly acidic pH, typically ranging from 4.5 to 5.5. This balance, known as the skin's acid mantle, helps support its protective barrier, retain moisture, and defend against harmful microorganisms. Soap also has a pH, which can influence the skin when the soap is mixed with water and applied. Choosing a soap with a suitable pH is important to help cleanse the skin without disrupting its natural protective barrier. When choosing a soap, it is important to consider your individual skin type and needs. Understanding pH can help you make an informed choice and find a product that cleanses effectively while supporting your skin's natural balance. What should you look for? What you look for in a soap really depends on what you want to get out of it. A gentle soap: Choose a soap with a pH between 4.5 and 5.5, ideal for sensitive skin. For everyday use: A soap with a pH between 4.5 and 7.0 is a good choice for regular cleansing. For heavy-duty cleaning: If you need something to tackle grease and stubborn dirt, opt for a soap with a pH of up to 10.0. Looking for the right soap for your needs?
