Fryer Cleaning Safety
The secret to extending the life of your oil is a "down to the metal clean" each time you do an oil change. Both Alconox and Alcojet have been specially formulated to safely remove build-up caused by cooking oil in order to return your fryer to 'like new' condition.
Both our fryer cleaning products, Alconox and Alcojet, are non-caustic, drain safe and biodegradable detergents. They are ideal to use as part of a solid sustainability program.
As an example of their safety, consider the pH of our product, Alconox, which is 9.5. This is the same pH as Dawn dish soap. Exposing skin to Alconox, like retail soap, for over 15 minutes could cause some irritation, but the pH is extremely neutral. If Alconox comes in contact with skin, simply rinse it off.
For companies needing a low-foaming option, Alcojet, pH 11, can also be used. This detergent, while slightly more alkaline, is also not corrosive for skin contact if rinsed off. Better to use gloves when handling Alcojet. Alcojet is sometimes the better choice for some because tubes and hoses inside machines are easier to rinse when the detergent is specifically designed to be a low-foamer.
