Requirements that differ from a household detergent
Staff use the same dishwashing liquid for many hours per shift, which places different requirements than a household detergent: high and stable foam formation that lasts throughout the entire dishwashing cycle, fat-dissolving ability on grates with dried fat, and a pH close to the natural level of the skin to reduce dehydration caused by repeated exposure over an entire workday.
Skin safety and fragrance regulation
Because the product is intended for repeated skin contact, the requirements for cosmetic ingredients in the recipe apply, and fragrance substances classified as allergens according to the IFRA standard must be listed. An unscented line is often developed in parallel for kitchens with staff who are sensitive to fragrances or who have strict allergen procedures.
The concentration, fragrance and packaging you choose, our chemists recommend.

This is how we help you create your own hand sanitizer
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 build their product range around hand dishwashing detergent
Cleaning companies and wholesalers that already supply other kitchen cleaning products to restaurants and staff kitchens are the most common buyers — hand dishwashing detergent is rarely sold separately but rather as part of a broader range of dishwashing products under the same brand.

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.
