How to Use Jebsol 25 Degreaser Concentrate | Dilution Ratios & Application Guide

Jebsol 25 is a professional-grade, highly active hard surface degreaser and cleaner concentrate engineered to maintain pristine hygiene across high-demand commercial, catering, and industrial environments. Formulated with a powerful alkaline and solvent blend containing Sodium Hydroxide, this heavy-duty solution rapidly cuts through, penetrates, and dissolves tough grease, heavy oils, carbonized fat, and ingrained industrial soils on contact. Because it is completely unperfumed, non-tainting, and food-safe, it serves as the ultimate primary cleaning agent for commercial kitchens, food processing plants, and engineering workshops looking to maintain maximum operational efficiency while keeping cost-in-use exceptionally low.

🔍 How Jebsol 25 Works

Jebsol 25 breaks down organic and mineral oil deposits through a rapid chemical process called alkaline saponification and emulsification. Standard detergents simply lift surface dirt, but the high-activity alkaline builders in Jebsol 25 actively attack the chemical bonds of hardened animal fats and industrial oils, converting them into water-soluble forms.

Simultaneously, advanced non-ionic surfactants lower the surface tension of the water, allowing the solution to deeply penetrate porous tiles, grout, steel mesh, and non-slip safety floors. This multi-action approach lifts embedded grease layers from deep within the substrate, trapping it in the cleaning solution so it can be rinsed away cleanly without leaving slippery films or greasy tracking residues behind.

🏢 Common Applications (Where to Use It)

Because Jebsol 25 is completely fragrance-free and non-tainting, it can be deployed safely across a wide array of highly regulated sectors:

·       Commercial Kitchens & Catering: Deep-cleans cooker hoods, stainless steel extraction ducts, greasy canopy filters, splashbacks, and commercial ovens.

·       Food Processing & Bakeries: Strips baked-on vegetable oils, animal fats, and carbon residues from production equipment, conveyor lines, and preparation tables.

·       Janitorial & Facilities Maintenance: Restores greasy non-slip safety floors, ceramic wall tiles, quarry tiles, and heavily soiled grout channels in high-traffic zones.

·       Industrial & Engineering Workshops: Cuts through heavy mineral oils, lubricating greases, and workshop floor soils on concrete bays and machine housings.

·       Marine & Commercial Shipping: Efficiently cleans decks, engine rooms, and oily bulkheads without generating harsh chemical masking scents.

🧪 Dilution Ratios & Mixing Matrix

Because Jebsol 25 is a highly active chemical concentrate, it must be diluted with clean water based on the severity of the grease layer.

Here are the exact mixing recipes for all 5 primary trade tasks, detailing the part ratios along with the precise number of presses needed if using our Precision 30ml Dosing Pump on 5L or 25L containers:

⚠️ The Standard Mixing Rule: Always add your Jebsol 25 concentrate into water—never pour water directly onto a container of neat concentrate. This simple, effective safety practice prevents sudden foaming or accidental chemical splashing back at the operator.

🛠️ Best Application Practices for Maximum Efficiency

·       Maximise Your Dwell Time: For heavy grease crusts on stainless steel canopy filters or cooker hoods, apply the diluted solution and allow it to dwell for 5 to 10 minutes. This gives the alkaline builders enough time to chemically break down the grease matrix before you begin scrubbing.

·       Utilize Dip Tank Soaking: For heavily carbonized commercial kitchen filters, submerge them entirely in a 1:50 dip tank solution of Jebsol 25. Allow them to soak for 30–60 minutes, agitate lightly, and rinse to restore them to original metal standards.

·       Always Rinse Thoroughly: When cleaning food-contact surfaces, processing machinery, or preparation tables, always perform a final, comprehensive rinse with fresh, clean water to remove all chemical residues.

·       Use the Right Size Setup: For small daily kitchen checklists, utilise our convenient 1L standard bottle sprayers. For high-volume refilling, screw a dedicated 30ml Precision Dosing Pump straight onto your 5L or 25L trade containers to measure ratios perfectly with zero waste or messy spills.

📋 COSHH Safety Rules & Required PPE (Staying Safe)

Jebsol 25 is a professional-grade alkaline concentrate. You must protect yourself and your staff fully during handling and application:

·       Protect Your Eyes: Always wear wrap-around safety goggles or a face shield when handling or diluting the raw concentrate. Concentrated alkaline solutions cause severe eye irritation and serious chemical damage on contact.

·       Protect Your Skin: Wear thick Nitrile or PVC trade gloves, long sleeves, and full-length trousers. Prolonged skin exposure to alkaline concentrates will strip natural skin oils, causing irritation or chemical burns.

·       Surface Compatibility Warning: ⚠️ TAKE EXTREME CARE ON ALUMINIUM, ZINC, AND GALVANISED SURFACES. Strong alkaline mixtures can dull, etch, or discolour soft aluminium alloys if left to dwell. Always spot-test a small hidden area first and rinse off immediately after application.

·       Never Mix Chemicals: Do not mix Jebsol 25 with acidic descalers, bleach, or any other chemical cleaners, as doing so will neutralize the degreasing action and could cause hazardous chemical reactions.

🚑 First Aid Measures

·       Skin Contact: Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Wash the skin thoroughly under running water or an emergency shower for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical advice if irritation continues.

·       Eye Contact: Rinse cautiously with fresh cold water or an eye-wash station for at least 15 minutes, keeping the eyelids wide open. Remove contact lenses if present and easy to do—continue rinsing. Seek immediate medical attention.

·       Ingestion: Wash out the mouth thoroughly with fresh water. DO NOT induce vomiting. Drink plenty of fresh water or milk to dilute and seek immediate medical attention.

📦 Storage & Handling Safety

·       Secure Chemical Storage: Store only inside the original, tightly sealed container in a cool, dry, well-ventilated warehouse bay. Keep positioned upright away from direct sunlight, extreme frost, strong acids, and aluminium components.

·       Keep Secure: Ensure the safety caps are fully locked down after every shift. Keep stored securely out of reach of children and unauthorized personnel.

·       Responsible Trade Disposal: Dispose of empty plastic containers and spent solution in full accordance with local UK environmental regulations. Do not discharge raw concentrate directly into public stormwater drains.
