General Cleaning and Hygiene Group

General cleaning and hygiene chemicals are one of the fundamental chemical product groups used for the controlled removal of contaminants from surfaces in industrial facilities, production areas, workshops, warehouses, common-use areas and technical working environments. In these applications, the objective is not limited to removing visible dirt; oils, grease, soot, organic residues and process-related contaminants should also be cleaned using methods appropriate for the characteristics of the surface. Since industrial general-purpose cleaning products may be used on a wide range of materials, including metals, plastics, glass, ceramics, painted surfaces and various flooring types, surface compatibility becomes one of the key criteria in product selection.

Within this group, concentrated and multipurpose cleaners play an important role, particularly in managing large surface areas and varying levels of contamination. For concentrated products, determining the application concentration according to the contamination level and application method enables the controlled use of different cleaning methods such as manual wiping, spraying, mopping or mechanical cleaning. Cleaning systems incorporating components with organic solvent characteristics can also be used particularly for removing oily and organic contaminants from surfaces.

The General Cleaning and Hygiene Group is not limited to routine surface cleaning. In industrial working environments, personnel cleaning, maintenance of work areas, cleaning of common-use surfaces and control of general contamination around process areas can also be considered within this scope. When selecting the appropriate chemical, the type and level of contamination, surface material, required dilution ratio, application method and rinsing requirements should be evaluated together. In this way, general cleaning and hygiene applications can be managed as a planned, controlled and surface-compatible cleaning process that supports production and maintenance activities.
