Cutting board contamination that was your own brand
We develop disinfectants with quick contact time against common foodborne pathogens, formulated according to your customers' workflows.
The most common route of cross-contamination
Cutting boards are one of the most common routes of cross-contamination in a kitchen, as scratches on the surface provide bacteria such as Salmonella, E. coli and Listeria with a foothold that regular cleaning does not always reach. Cutting board disinfection is formulated for rapid contact time and effectiveness against these microorganisms, as a complementary step after cleaning rather than a replacement for it.
What is required to work in a biocidal product
A product marketed with disinfectant properties is regulated by the EU’s Biocidal Products Regulation, which requires documented efficacy against named microorganisms and a validated active substance. This is one of the more heavily regulated products in the range and should be planned with good margin in development time.
Our chemists help you customize the cutting board disinfection according to your market.
Our chemist team helps you to create the perfect composition for your cutting board disinfectant. You work directly with our experts: Helena, a senior chemist with 25 years of industry experience, Carl, a Bachelor’s degree chemist with expertise in modern formulations, and Kelly, our administrative chemist who ensures that all laws, regulations, and guidelines are followed to the letter.

Contact time and concentration
After the workflow — shorter contact time is often prioritized in high-pressure kitchens
Washing requirements
does not require rinsing or requires rinsing before the board is reused for food
This is how we help you develop your own cutting board disinfection method
1) Product proposals: We listen to your needs, your vision for design, colour and fragrance – and your ecolabelling goals. The product is designed to meet legal requirements and, if you wish, the criteria of the Nordic Swan Ecolabel, Bra Miljöval or the EU Ecolabel.
2) Sample and price: We provide samples and price proposals based on our needs analysis. You will have the opportunity to try the product and ensure that it fulfils your requirements before making a decision.
3) Authorisation: Once we agree on price and results, you authorise the product for production.
4) Launch: We handle the purchase of materials and manufacture the product in our factory, where the quality management system is certified to ISO 9001. When the products are ready for sale, we deliver them to you on pallets.
Industries that purchase it as part of their own control
Restaurant kitchens and large kitchens with color-coded cutting boards for different food categories, where disinfection between use areas is a documented part of HACCP self-inspection — often procured together with other surface disinfection from the same supplier.

Case
Häxan AB
One successful customer case that we are extremely proud of is our collaboration with Häxan AB. Super entrepreneur Mikael Söderlindh bought the company with the aim of creating top-class cleaning products that carry a recognised ecolabel such as the Nordic Swan Ecolabel – and we took full responsibility for both production and getting the label approved. The goal was to match or surpass the leading products on the market, and to get more companies and consumers to choose ecolabelled cleaning products.
COOP Trading AB
One of our most successful collaborations is with COOP Trading AB. At Cleano, we have helped them in particular to create three different brands in their range. It starts with us creating the recipes. Then we allow COOP to design the product design based entirely on their wishes. Afterwards, we purchase the inputs – such as bottles, labels, caps or spray guns – and deliver them to COOP in cartons.
