We’re delighted to support businesses, both locally and globally, helping them achieve the high standards and results they require. Young's Pubs Young's Pubs 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.

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.

Concentrated products are a great alternative to ready-to-use products but may not always feel like the most convenient choice so we've made it simple to see the benefits! Our Dilution Chart for Concentrated Chemicals makes the switch simple. It breaks down exactly how many refill flasks you will get per container and per case, as well as showing the significant cost per use savings, putting into perspective just how much money, space and plastic you can save! What makes concentrated products more beneficial? Our dilution chart makes it easy to find out why concentrated chemical are beneficial to you but their advantages go beyond performance and cost savings. Concentrated products help to reduce your environmental impact in a number of ways: Lower CO₂ emissions Reduced single-use plastic Reduced water shipment Concentrated chemicals offer the flexibility to adjust dilution rates according to the level of soiling, helping ensure the right amount of product is used for each task. This helps minimise unnecessary chemical use and waste, while reducing the need to store multiple ready-to-use products. Combined with fewer deliveries and reduced packaging requirements, concentrated products offer a practical way for businesses to reduce their environmental impact w. How should concentrated products be diluted? Different products require different concentration rates and knowing what they are is really important because using the incorrect dose rate can make the chemical ineffective and can also be dangerous. All concentrated products have their own specific dose rate which can be found on the product label and within their Technical Data Sheet. Check out our dilution chart to find out how much you could save if you make the switch. Written by Charlotte.

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 type of 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.
