What Chemicals Professional Cleaners Use

How professional cleaning chemicals differ from supermarket products, whether they're safe, and why the results are always better.

One of the most common client questions is: "Do you use safe chemicals?" Yes. But let's go into more detail — how professional products differ from what you find in a supermarket.

Concentration and Effectiveness

Professional products are concentrates. They are diluted with water in the right ratio for each specific task. One 5-litre bottle keeps a specialist going all day. That means less packaging, less chemical in the air, and more economy.

Supermarket products are pre-diluted and contain a lot of water and fragrances — for the feeling of cleanliness, not actual results.

Specialization

Professionals use different products for different tasks:

  • For limescale — acid-based, but safe for tiles
  • For kitchen grease — alkaline degreaser products
  • For disinfection — quaternary ammonium compounds that destroy 99.9% of bacteria
  • For marble — neutral pH products that don't damage stone
  • For leather — specialized mild cleaners with conditioner

A supermarket "universal" product performs worse on each of these tasks.

Safety

The professional chemicals we use hold safety certificates. After application and rinsing, they leave no toxic residues. We follow concentration instructions — this matters: too strong a solution can damage surfaces.

Equipment Amplifies the Chemistry

Chemicals are half the result. The other half is equipment. A HEPA-filter vacuum, a steam generator, an extraction machine for carpets and upholstered furniture. Together they deliver an effect that is impossible to replicate by hand.

Can You Use Your Own Products?

Yes, on request we can work with the client's products. But our products usually deliver better results — they are matched to specific surfaces and tasks.

If you'd like to know exactly what we use — just ask. We'll show you the composition and certificates.
