SURFACE WIPING AND CLEANING CLOTHSAGAR Pre-Soak Powder is a professional chlorinated pre-soak detergent formulated for powerful cleaning, sanitising and stain removal across commercial kitchens, laundries, bathrooms, hospitals and nursing homes. Its combination of detergent action and 4% available chlorine helps loosen stubborn food residues and stains while providing effective germ-killing and bleaching action.
Unlike a conventional laundry detergent, PRE-SOAK POWDER is designed specifically for soaking and pre-treatment applications. When dissolved in water, it produces a chlorine-bleach solution with strong soil-penetrating and destaining properties. This makes it particularly useful where heavily soiled or stained items need additional treatment before the normal cleaning or washing process.
The formulation combines alkaline salts, surfactants, corrosion inhibitors and available chlorine. The alkaline salts help soften water and disperse soils, while surfactants improve wetting and soil penetration. Available chlorine provides the product’s bleaching and germ-killing action.
AGAR states that chlorine is effective against bacteria, viruses, mould and fungi, making PRE-SOAK POWDER useful for both cleaning and sanitising applications.
