Citric Bathroom Descaler – Alkaline

Alkaline pH 10–11. directly targets calcium stearate — the molecular structure of soap scum — dissolving it on contact without aggressive scrubbing in daily cleaning cycles.

Ready-to-use formulation. eliminates dilution, measurement, and concentration errors by rotating housekeeping staff — consistent chemistry on every application, every shift.

Daily-frequency effective. formulated to prevent soap scum and hard-water deposit build-up from becoming chronic — the maintenance approach that eliminates the need for periodic intensive intervention.

Lime fragrance. provides the immediate post-clean washroom freshness signal that is a compliance and reputation variable in healthcare, educational, and industrial facilities.

5-litre institutional bulk. fewer product change events per shift in high-frequency institutional cleaning schedules — reduced supply chain management overhead.

What is soap scum, and why does alkaline chemistry dissolve it when neutral cleaners cannot?
Soap scum is calcium stearate — a compound formed when the calcium and magnesium ions in hard water react with the fatty acid components of soap, body wash, and shampoo products. The reaction is: calcium ions (Ca²⁺) + stearate anions (from soap) → calcium stearate (insoluble precipitate).

Daily maintenance apply directly to tile surfaces, fixtures, sinks, and shower trays. Allow 2–3 minutes contact.

Wipe with a cloth or mop. Rinse tiles and fixtures with water.

5 litres ready to use. 500 spray applications. Every washroom.

Every shift. A single 5-litre ready-to-use pack delivers approximately 500 spray applications at standard use.

For a healthcare facility or educational institution with 30 washrooms cleaned twice daily, one pack lasts approximately 8–10 days of continuous maintenance programme deployment. The prevention economics versus periodic intervention: daily alkaline cleaning of 30 washrooms prevents the soap scum accumulation that would otherwise require bi-weekly heavy-duty treatment — a per-facility cost reduction that compounds across the annual cleaning budget. For industrial facilities with high-volume shift washrooms, the ready-to-use format eliminates the dilution error risk associated with concentrates in environments where multiple products are used and labelling confusion can lead to incorrect dilution ratios.

• Alkaline formulation.
• Avoid contact with eyes and prolonged skin contact.
• In case of eye contact, rinse immediately with copious water for 15 minutes.
• Do not use on acid-sensitive natural stone such as marble or limestone — alkaline pH causes surface etching on calcium carbonate-based stone.
• Do not mix with acid-based cleaners.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• Store in original sealed container below 30°C, away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
• Keep container tightly closed when not in use.
