Switching a restaurant or café to eco cleaning: a practical checklist
Ecopurix Business Team3 Nov 2026 6 min read
How food businesses can move dishwashing, hand hygiene and floor care to plant-based cleaners — with bulk packs, clear dilution and a simple staff routine.
Why kitchens are a good place to start
Commercial kitchens use cleaners all day, close to food, staff hands and guests. Plant-based formulas without harsh fumes make the working environment more comfortable while still cutting grease.
Because usage is high, buying in bulk 5L packs and refilling labelled bottles also reduces the number of small plastic bottles your kitchen throws away.
The switch checklist
- List every cleaner you currently use and where it is used
- Replace dish, hand wash and floor products first — they are used most
- Order 5L packs and set up one labelled refill bottle per station
- Post a simple dilution and usage card at each sink
- Run a one-week trial and ask staff for feedback
- Track monthly consumption to plan reorders
Train once, keep it simple
A short 10-minute briefing at shift start is usually enough: which bottle goes where, how much to use, and never to mix products. Consistent use matters more than strong chemicals.

Questions about this cleaning guide
Which cleaners should a restaurant switch to eco first?
Start with the products used most often — dish wash, hand wash and floor cleaner. They make up most of a kitchen's daily cleaning volume, so the switch has the biggest effect.
How can a café reduce plastic from cleaning products?
Buy 5L bulk packs and refill one clearly labelled bottle per station. This replaces many small bottles while keeping each product dedicated to a single container.
How do I get bulk pricing for my restaurant?
Send a quote request through the business section with your outlet details and monthly needs, and the EcoPurix team will reply on WhatsApp with bulk options.
