Kitchen & General-Purpose Cleaners for Schools, Hostels & Hospitals in Namibia

Machine-scale dishwashing (Brilliant powder with Rinse Aid if there is a machine, Dishwash in 25 L Econo format at the pot sinks), Greasolv on the stoves and canopies before fat becomes a fire load, Chemscour for the burnt pots that institutional cooking guarantees, and Swan Pine Gel over the floors nightly. The sheet lists this set for schools verbatim — it is the kitchen chemistry that survives both the volumes and the budget line.

Twice-daily rhythm with the right split: Bowl Cleanse on fixtures every morning (the acid removes the urine scale that is the actual odour), Steripine as the disinfectant mop both rounds, Deo Blocks holding the hours between, and Soil Soft dosed into the outside gully the block drains toward — the sheet flags those outside drains specifically as an odour source. Boarding hostels that run this rhythm stop being identifiable by smell from the corridor.

Because most Namibian hostels and rural schools run on septic systems carrying loads their designers never imagined, and a failed septic tank closes a kitchen or a dormitory block. Soil Soft dosed monthly liquidises the organic load so the system keeps digesting and draining — maintenance, not rescue. Note its label restriction (not for soft metals) and dose it at the fixtures the system actually drains from. Pump-outs become rare instead of routine.

Simple products, posted procedures: the four-name set (Dishwash, Swan Pine Gel, Mrs Clean, Steripine) plus the block-specific lines, each with its dilution on a laminated card at the store — so the routine survives any roster. Cernol keeps the same products in production year over year, which is the quiet half of consistency: the tender re-order matches the training, and nobody relearns the chemistry each budget cycle.
