Mix hot water with alkaline to remove heavy fats

The Melbourne Convention Centre staff have been mixing ROX Cleaning Water – the alkaline stream – with hot tap water to clean tough-to-remove fatty residues from their kitchen implements.

When ROX Cleaning Water is mixed with hot water it works particularly well when cleaning slicers and knives that have been used for cutting meats and cheeses. With a pH of about 11.3 (similar to household ammonia) ROX Water’s alkaline component is a natural ‘degreaser’ whereby the alkaline breaks down oils, proteins and harmful biofilms.

The staff are really pleased with this effective cleaning method as it sanitises their food prep surfaces and tools without resorting to costly chemical cleaners of questionable safety to both the user and the environment. They believe that non-toxic ROX Cleaning Water  when mixed with hot water  adds greater utility to their operation at the same time saving water as it doesn’t require rinsing.
