Cling N Lift – Heavy Duty Oven & Grill Cleaner
Cling N Lift’s specially gel based formulation allows it to cling surfaces, penetrating baked on grease. This product can be used on ovens, grills, vent hoods, fryers, and anything else stainless in the kitchen. Safe on tiles too!
This product contains strong solvents that help penetrate grease and dissolve it for easy cleaning. Any oven or grill cleaner should have a high pH and most contain sodium hydroxide. When Cling N lift reacts with triglycerides in grease or other grime it breaks it down in process called saponification, making that tough grease water soluble! This is actually the same process used to make soap, however we don’t recommend using it for that purpose.

Why Choose Cling N Lift?
Ready to use formula
Gel based to enhance ‘clinging’ action which allows for deeper penetration of grease and oils
Safe on iron grill tops, chrome, stainless steel
Not safe for use on aluminum

A surface can appear clean to our eyes but in reality may in fact still be contaminated with microscopic organisms and bacteria. Disinfecting commonly touched surfaces is an important step in general cleaning, especially during the corona virus pandemic.

Step 1. Is the product safe for me and my customers?
Choosing the right disinfectant or sanitizer based on needs can be challenging at times. Some may be irritating to eyes or skin based on odor, chemical composition, or require PPE to safely apply. If the worker has to don a full protective suit to clean a door  handle chances are that door handle will rarely be disinfected. Additionally, the product should be suitable for the surface; typically hard, and non-porous. Look for products with shorter contact times, smaller health risks, and non-overwhelming odors.

Step 2. Disinfectant Contact Time
Contact time is a key-phrase you will hear a lot when working with sanitizers or disinfectants. It simply means the time needed for the surface to stay wet with the product in order to achieve the desired result. A product that requires a 20 minute contact time for 100% disinfecting is not realistic as workers are not likely to reapply the product. Additionally you may be disinfecting when patrons are present and a 20 minute downtime is unrealistic. Different types of disinfectants have different recommended contact times and it’s important to check the label or the EPA website (more on that below).

Step 3. Ensuring Proper Equipment for Disinfecting
The disinfectant used in a small mom & pop establishment is likely to be different that those used for a commercial office. Some products may be used in an industrial sprayer or fogger, which creates a fine mist which falls onto surfaces.  Foggers or sprayers can save a lot of time if needing to disinfect larger areas but require substantial PPE to ensure worker safety. To ensure that your product can be used follow the link below to the EPA’s website.

Step 4. Checking Your Product Against the EPA registry
With a global pandemic going on everyone needs to take the extra 2 minutes to check and make sure their product can do as advertised. The EPA website can be found here https://www.epa.gov/pesticide-registration/list-n-disinfectants-coronavirus-covid-19 . This tool the EPA has created describes the active ingredient, contact time, surface type, use site, and whether or not it has an emerging viral claim.

Above is an example for our “Lemon Disinfectant” EPA Reg- 10324-154-11712
