For years, the Crystalbrite range has been the go-to solution for cleaning professionals — trusted for its reliability, efficiency, and outstanding fabric care. Now, we’re proud to expand the range with a brand-new product that raises the bar in gentle yet powerful laundry care. Introducing Crystalbrite Premium Non-Bio Laundry Detergent – our latest innovation, specially formulated for those who require high performance without enzymes. Why a Premium Non-Bio? As part of our commitment to continuous improvement, we identified a need for a skin-friendly detergent that delivers enhanced stain removal at a lower dose rate. The result is a powerful, enzyme-free formulation ideal for environments where skin sensitivity is a concern, such as care homes, healthcare settings, and other professional spaces. Premium vs Standard: What’s the Difference? While both of our Non-Bio Laundry Detergents share core benefits like stain removal, fabric care, and being free from harmful additives, our new Premium formulation offers even greater cleaning power — especially on heavier soiling and at lower temperatures. Feature Standard Non-Bio(CRLD1/10) Premium Non-Bio (CB-PNBLD-10) Effective On Light/Medium Soiling Medium/Heavy Soiling Skin-Friendly ✅ ✅ Stain Removal ✅ ✅ (Enhanced at 40°C) Free From Harmful Additives ✅ ✅ Dose Rate Standard A Third Lower Product Details Crystalbrite Premium Non-Bio Laundry Detergent Code: CB-PNBLD-10 Size: 10L Free from optical brighteners, phosphates, and EDTA This product has been developed to offer reliable cleaning, fabric protection, and skin-kind care – all while reducing waste through high-efficiency dosing.

At Cleenol, community has always been at the heart of what we do. As we marked our 75th anniversary, we wanted to celebrate in a way that reflected the values we hold dear. That’s how Project 75 was born, an ambitious initiative to raise £75,000 for three local charities that make a real difference in people’s lives. We’re incredibly proud to announce that we’ve hit that target, thanks to the generosity and dedication of our employees, customers, and suppliers. On March 5th, we celebrated this fantastic achievement with a special cheque presentation ceremony at our Banbury headquarters, creating a moment to remember for everyone involved. A Community Effort From Start to Finish Project 75 was the vision of our Managing Director, Sam Greaves, and was embraced with enthusiasm by the whole Cleenol team. Over the course of the year, our employees threw themselves into a wide range of fundraising activities, from skydives and endurance challenges to outdoor cinema nights and community events. Each event, no matter how big or small, contributed to the impressive fundraising total and brought people together for a shared cause. Supporting Three Incredible Charities Our team carefully selected three local charities that reflect values close to our hearts: Katharine House Hospice  – A long-standing partner of Cleenol, providing compassionate end-of-life care and support to patients and their families. Oxfordshire Mind  – A vital mental health charity offering support and resources to those facing mental health challenges across the region. Thames Valley Air Ambulance  – A critical emergency service that relies entirely on charitable donations to deliver life-saving care when it’s needed most. Each of these charities does exceptional work, and we’re honoured to support their missions through Project 75. A Visit From Dame Prue Leith To mark the occasion, we were thrilled to welcome Dame Prue Leith to our headquarters. Best known for her role on The Great British Bake Off , Dame Prue toured our facilities, met the team behind the project, and took part in the official cheque handover. Her presence added an extra sparkle to an already special day, highlighting the impact that businesses can have when they come together to support their communities. Looking Ahead The cheque presentation marked more than just the end of Project 75, it was a celebration of what can be achieved when people work together toward a shared goal. At Cleenol, we believe strongly in the importance of corporate social responsibility, and we look forward to continuing to support our community in the years to come. To everyone who took part, donated, supported, or cheered us on - thank you. Together, we’ve proven that with collaboration and compassion, we can make a meaningful difference.

When it comes to cleaning products, there are often several options that do the same job, but with slight differences that might make one your personal favourite. Whether it’s fragrance, convenience, or formulation, choosing the right product comes down to what works best for you. Let’s explore some popular, very similar products and discover what sets them apart. Steritec Perfumed Virucidal Cleaner VS Steritec (Non-Perfumed) Virucidal Cleaner Both our Steritec Perfumed Virucidal Cleaner  and Steritec Virucidal Cleaner  are designed to eliminate 99.99% of bacteria, viruses, and yeasts on hard surfaces in just 60 seconds. So what’s the difference? Perfumed Virucidal Cleaner  disinfects with a refreshing eucalyptus fragrance which is perfect for creating a clean and relaxing atmosphere. Non-Perfumed Virucidal Cleaner  is fragrance-free, making it ideal for food preparation areas where scent could interfere with food aromas. Dishwasher Tablets VS Dishwasher Powder Both options effectively clean crockery, glassware, and utensils, but the difference lies in convenience and dosing. Dishwasher Tablets  are pre-measured, mess-free, and ready to use, making them perfect for quick and simple cleaning. Suitable for domestic washing machines. Dishwasher Powder  works just as effectively however can be increased or amended depending on the level of soiling. Bio Laundry Detergent VS Non-Bio Laundry Detergent Both options deliver fresh, clean laundry, but they work slightly differently: Bio Laundry Detergent  contains enzymes that break down stains and dirt, even at low temperatures (as low as 30°C), with a fresh and invigorating fragrance. Non-Bio Laundry Detergent  uses surfactants instead of enzymes, making it gentle on sensitive skin. For optimal results, you may need to use higher temperatures or pair it with additional boosters like our Alkaline Booster or Laundry Oil Emulsifier. Alcohol Hand Sanitizer VS Alcohol-Free Hand Sanitizer Hand sanitisers are essential for killing bacteria and enveloped viruses, but the choice often comes down to formulation and personal needs. Alcohol-Free Hand Sanitizer  is non-tainting, odourless, and halal-approved which means it's perfect for frequent use without drying out the skin. 70% Alcohol Hand Sanitizing Gel  is viscous, non-tacky, and highly effective. Both sanitisers kill 99.999% of bacteria and 99.99% of enveloped viruses, ensuring clean hands on the go. At the end of the day, the main difference between these products is personal preference - whether it’s the fragrance, convenience, or formulation that suits your needs. Whichever you choose, you can trust that each product is formulated to deliver high-quality results. Have questions about a specific product? Our expert Technical Team is here to help!

We've all been there. You're running late for work, only to be greeted by a thick layer of ice on your car windscreen. Panic suddenly hits you and you're thinking 'how on earth am I going to shift this AND make it on time for my meeting?'. You've heard it a thousand times before, never put boiling water on your car windscreen but you think to yourself 'it can't be that bad, why don't I just risk it this once'. Reality, washes over and you realise risking cracking your screen will cause a lot more problems than simply being a bit later for work. So now you’re on Plan B: frantically searching for your trusty ice scraper. Only it’s nowhere to be found. You’re kicking yourself for ignoring that great deal on scrapers at your local supermarket last week. Desperate, you grab your debit card—the next best thing, right? Fast forward 15 minutes, and you’ve finally cleared the ice…sort of. Your fingers are frozen, your debit card is chipped, and you’ve added a few new scratches to your windscreen. Not exactly the best start to your morning. Sound familiar? According to Allianz insurance ' So far in 2024, the insurer spent an average of £327 per windscreen claim, which has risen from £308 in 2022, a difference of £19.'  People are still choosing to risk damaging their vehicles for a 'quick solution' that ironically will cost you more time and money! The truth is de-icing your car doesn't have to be timely, you just need a reliable and good quality de-icer. They show results in just 30 seconds and don't add any extra scratches! Try Cleenol's de-icer and take control in the colder mornings - Autocleen | Autocleen De-Icer . It's even effective in temperatures as low as -10°c. For the best results, spray the de-icer and wipe with windscreen wipers / rubber squeegee.

Tips on how to get your pub ready for the festive rush The festive season and New Year are some of the busiest times for pubs and bars. With customers flocking in to celebrate, the last thing you want is poor beer quality dampening their experience. Cleanliness and maintenance are key to ensuring your establishment leaves a lasting, positive impression. Why Beer Line Cleaning Matters Did you know that beer lines should be cleaned every seven days? Neglecting this vital task can lead to a build up of bacteria and contaminants that negatively impact the taste and quality of your beer. In a competitive market, where customers have countless options, a single bad experience like a pint tasting off can cost you repeat business. In fact, according to the CGA RSM Hospitality Business Tracker, Britain’s top hospitality groups generated an 8.8% year-on-year sales growth in December . This highlights the importance of optimal hygiene all year round and especially during peak periods which is why you should be using products you can trust. Signs of Poor Beer Line Hygiene If you’ve ever had a pint that tasted strange or flat, it’s often due to unclean beer lines. This not only discourages customers from returning but can also harm your pub’s reputation. On the flip side, properly maintained beer lines ensure every pint is crisp, fresh, and enjoyable, giving people a reason to come back again and again. How to Maintain Spotless Beer Lines Here’s a step-by-step guide to cleaning your beer lines effectively: Prepare the Cleaning Solution Add the recommended dose of beer line cleaner to 5 litres of cold water in a brewery-approved cleaning container. Mix thoroughly. Drain the System Empty any remaining beer from the lines and fill them with the cleaning solution. Soak and Inspect Let the solution sit for at least 30 minutes. During this time, it will absorb dirt and contaminants from the pipes. The liquid should turn green. Repeat as Needed Flush out the green solution and refill with fresh cleaner. Allow it to sit for a few minutes. If the solution remains purple, the lines are clean. If it turns green, repeat the process up to five times until the liquid stays purple. Rinse Thoroughly Once the lines are clean, flush them with plenty of cold water to remove any remaining traces of the cleaner. This step is crucial to ensure your beer retains its natural flavour. How will this increase repeat business? Taking the time to clean your beer lines regularly ensures that every pint you serve meets the high standards your customers expect. With a reputation for excellent quality, your pub will become the go-to spot for festive celebrations and beyond.
