Heavy-duty degreaser for kitchens and workshops
A strong degreaser for cooked-on fat in kitchens and oil in workshops and loading bays, specified with the surfaces it must stay away from.

Hygienix heavy-duty degreaser is for the fat and oil a neutral cleaner cannot lift: kitchen canopies, fryer surrounds, cooked-on grease, workshop floors, machine bases and loading bays. The zone plan lists every surface in reach that a strong degreaser can damage, so the crew knows before they spray. The pack is confirmed with your quote.

Heavy-duty degreaser for kitchens and workshops sits at step 4 of from survey to supply. You receive a bill of materials and a reorder quantity per position.
Strong chemistry has a cost
A product strong enough to lift baked-on fat is strong enough to mark the wrong surface.
The damage rarely shows the same day. It shows a week later as a splashback gone white or a painted panel lifting at the edge, and nobody links it to the Tuesday deep clean.
So the survey walks every zone where the degreaser will be used and records the materials within spraying distance. Anything on the label's caution list goes on the plan's material exception list, by location.
Where the plan uses it
| Position | Task | How |
|---|---|---|
| Canopy filters | Soaked on the schedule the cooking volume sets. | Soak tub or sink at the label ratio, then rinse |
| Fryer and range surrounds | Daily, or once a shift. | Trigger bottle, dwell, pad, rinse |
| Kitchen floors with a grease film | On the floor schedule. | Label floor ratio, deck scrub, pick up or rinse |
| Workshop floors and machine bases | Weekly, or after a leak. | Bucket and deck scrub, rinse to drain |
| Loading bays and bin stores | Weekly. | Bucket and brush, rinse to drain |
Paper the crew works from
Material exception list
Every surface in each zone the degreaser must not touch, listed by location.
Task lines
Dwell, agitation and rinse written out for each position.
Filter soak routine card
For kitchens with canopies: soak, rinse and dry on a rack, at the frequency the plan sets.
Station chart
The ratio and the PPE pictograms, printed from the label.
Order list
By position, with the pack confirmed in the quote.
Dwell and agitation do the work
Sprayed and wiped straight off, a degreaser is a wet cloth with a smell. The task line in the plan carries every step below, and the chart at the station repeats them.
- 01
PPE on, at the station
The label sets the protective equipment, and the station chart repeats it in pictograms. Gloves and eye protection sit at the station, because PPE two rooms away is PPE nobody wears.
- 02
Dose
Where a site degreases every day, from a dilution station with a pickup lance, so the ratio comes out of the wall and nobody decants. Elsewhere, the label ratio into a marked bucket.
- 03
Dwell
The product sits for the dwell time on the label. A timer at the fryer line is what makes the dwell actually happen.
- 04
Agitate
Most heavy soil needs a brush or a pad to break the surface. The brush is specified in the zone's colour, so the kitchen brush stays in the kitchen.
- 05
Rinse
The loosened fat is rinsed away, so it does not settle back as a film.
One contract, a kitchen and a workshop
An FM contract covers a corporate head office in Riyadh with a staff restaurant kitchen, a basement car park and an engineering workshop. The kitchen's canopy filters are sprayed in place once a month. The workshop floor is mopped with the same neutral cleaner as the offices.
The survey finds aluminium splashbacks behind the fryers and a powder-coated cabinet run in the workshop. The plan moves the canopy filters to a weekly soak in a tub at the degreaser's label ratio, with a rinse and a drying rack. The fryer surrounds get a trigger bottle, a pad and a timer for the dwell. The splashbacks and the cabinet run go on the material exception list, with a neutral cleaner assigned. The workshop floor moves to the degreaser with a deck scrub, dosed from a two-product wall station shared with the floor cleaner.
The site holds a material exception list by location, task lines with dwell times, a filter soak routine card, a station chart with PPE, and an order list by pack.
Surfaces the survey looks for
Each one found goes on the material exception list with its location, so the crew knows before they spray.
Aluminium and galvanised steel
Splashbacks, trims, trolley frames and fan housings. The plan names each one and assigns a neutral cleaner instead.
Painted and powder-coated panels
Door skins, cabinet fronts and machine guards. The plan names them, and gives a weaker ratio if the label has one, or a neutral cleaner if it does not.
Rubber seals and gaskets
Fridge doors and machine seals. Degreaser that reaches a seal is rinsed off promptly, with no dwell.
Resin floors
Kitchen and production floors. The plan sets the label's floor ratio and a soft deck scrub.
Food-contact stainless steel
Benches, prep tables and equipment. Degrease, rinse, then clean and sanitise before food touches it.
Degreaser questions
Can we use it on floors?
On kitchen and workshop floors with grease or oil, yes, at the label's floor ratio with a deck scrub. Sealed floors with ordinary soil take the neutral floor cleaner.
Can it go on food-contact surfaces?
Follow the label. Where it is used on one, it is rinsed off, and the surface is then cleaned and sanitised before food touches it.
Why did our splashback go white?
Strong degreasers and soft metals are a known bad pairing. The survey finds those surfaces first and the plan assigns a neutral cleaner to them.
How often should canopy filters be soaked?
The cooking volume decides. A busy fryer line needs far more than a staff canteen, and the plan writes a frequency for each canopy. Duct cleaning behind the filters is a separate job that ITF FM runs.
Spray bottle or bucket?
Spray for spot work on vertical surfaces. Bucket and brush for floors and bases. A soak tub for filters and removable parts.
