Agar Bleach (5L) – Commercial Bleach & Food Safe Sanitiser

Maintain the highest standard of clinical hygiene and strictly adhere to commercial food safety regulations with the highly dependable Agar Bleach Multi-Purpose Cleaner & Sanitiser. In commercial food processing, healthcare environments, and hospitality, standard disinfectants often fail to remove stubborn organic stains or neutralize tough bacteria on food-contact surfaces. This professional-grade commercial bleach acts as a highly effective, heavy-duty cleaning solution. Formulated with a precise 5% available chlorine (sodium hypochlorite) concentration, it provides exceptional sanitizing power, rapidly destroying bacteria, viruses, mold, and germs while eliminating the root cause of severe washroom odors.

Engineered to meet the rigorous demands of the Australian food manufacturing industry, Agar Bleach is officially AQIS (Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service) approved. This critical certification guarantees it is safe and legally compliant for sanitizing food-contact surfaces, equipment, and even fresh fruit and vegetables when diluted correctly. The highly concentrated, non-foaming formulation ensures it is exceptionally easy to rinse away, leaving no hazardous chemical residue behind. Whether you are whitening commercial laundry, eradicating bathroom mold, or sanitizing a production kitchen, these premium commercial cleaning chemicals provide facility managers and cleaning contractors with an essential, cost-effective tool for maintaining pristine, hygiene-critical areas.

Who Is Agar Bleach Cleaner & Sanitiser Ideal For?

Agar Bleach delivers a robust 5% sodium hypochlorite formula, AQIS approved food-safety, and heavy-duty sanitizing action. It is highly recommended for:

  • Food Manufacturing & Commercial Kitchens: Utilizing an AQIS approved food safe sanitiser to legally and thoroughly sanitize stainless-steel prep benches, processing equipment, and raw fruit and vegetables without leaving toxic residue.
  • Hospitals & Healthcare Facilities: Relying on the potent 5% chlorine concentration to thoroughly sanitize contaminated hard floors and clinical washrooms, ensuring strict adherence to infection control protocols by killing viruses and bacteria.
  • Commercial Laundries & Aged Care: Taking advantage of the strong oxidizing properties to aggressively whiten and sanitize heavily soiled bed sheets, towels, and reusable nappies effectively.
  • Commercial Cleaning Contractors: Deploying these robust commercial cleaning chemicals to cost-effectively remove stubborn black mold, mildew, and soap scum from public shower blocks and tiled washrooms.

Key Features and Performance Benefits:

  • 5% Available Chlorine Strength: Delivers heavy-duty commercial performance. This concentrated sodium hypochlorite formulation provides aggressive sanitizing and oxidizing power, ensuring effective removal of severe organic stains and bacteria.
  • AQIS Approved Food Safe: The ultimate compliance guarantee. Officially approved by the Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service, making it legally compliant for direct use on food-contact surfaces and for washing fresh produce.
  • Non-Foaming & Easy to Rinse: Highly efficient workflow. Unlike soapy detergents, this non-foaming liquid rinses away rapidly and flawlessly with fresh water, ensuring absolutely zero chemical residue is left on food preparation benches.
  • Exceptional Whitening Capability: Rejuvenates commercial fabrics. It is highly effective as a laundry additive, restoring the bright, crisp whiteness to stained chef uniforms, tablecloths, and hospital linens.
  • Highly Economical Concentrate: Exceptional commercial value. Because it is highly concentrated, only a very small amount of liquid is required per sink load or mop bucket, drastically reducing your ongoing consumable costs.

What does '5% Available Chlorine' mean?

The percentage refers to the concentration of the active ingredient, Sodium Hypochlorite. A 5% formulation is a strong, commercial-grade strength, providing significantly more sanitizing and whitening power than standard, highly diluted domestic supermarket bleach.

What does 'AQIS Approved' mean?

AQIS stands for the Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service. This certification guarantees that Agar Bleach meets strict federal safety standards and is legally approved for use as a sanitiser in commercial food processing and preparation areas.

Can I use this to wash fresh fruit and vegetables?

Yes. Because it is AQIS approved, when diluted to the very specific ratios stated on the manufacturer's label, it is perfectly safe and highly effective for sanitizing raw produce to kill soil-borne bacteria before cooking.

Do I need to rinse surfaces after using this bleach?

Yes. If you are using it on food-contact surfaces (like kitchen benches or cutting boards) or washing vegetables, you MUST thoroughly rinse the surface or the produce with fresh, potable tap water after the sanitizing process is complete.

Can I mix this bleach with other cleaning chemicals?

Absolutely NOT. You must NEVER mix bleach with acidic cleaners (like toilet bowl descalers), ammonia, or multi-purpose sprays. Mixing bleach with other chemicals creates highly toxic, life-threatening chlorine gas.

Is this product safe to use on colored clothes?

No. Sodium Hypochlorite is a highly aggressive oxidizing agent. If applied to colored fabrics, it will permanently strip the dye and ruin the garment. It should only be used to whiten heavily soiled, plain white commercial linens and towels.

Will this remove black mold from my bathroom tiles?

Yes. A properly diluted solution of Agar Bleach is highly effective at attacking and breaking down stubborn black mold and mildew spores on non-porous ceramic tiles and bathroom grout lines.

Should I use hot or cold water to dilute this bleach?

You must ALWAYS use cold water. Hot water rapidly accelerates the decomposition of the active Sodium Hypochlorite, causing it to release strong chlorine gas into the room and significantly reducing its disinfecting effectiveness.

Why is it important that it is 'Non-Foaming'?

In commercial kitchens, you do not want thick suds covering your prep benches. A non-foaming formula ensures the bleach can be wiped on and then rinsed off incredibly fast with fresh water, leaving zero sticky residue behind.

Do I need to wear protective equipment when using this?

Yes. As a commercial-grade chemical, it can cause severe skin and eye irritation. You must wear appropriate chemical-resistant gloves and safety glasses during dilution and application.

Where can I find the Safety Data Sheet (SDS)?

The official SDS for Agar Bleach is linked directly in the product description above. It provides comprehensive safety, handling, and first-aid instructions for commercial compliance.

Do you offer trade pricing for commercial kitchens?

Yes, Freshway Supplies provides highly competitive volume pricing and trade accounts for food manufacturing plants, commercial cleaning contractors, and restaurants ordering bulk food-safe chemicals. Contact us to establish your account.

They earned it! I hardly ever leave reviews, but Abe absolutely deserves this one.

I rang ready to spend nearly $2,000. Unfortunately, the item wasn’t in stock for pickup and would take seven days to arrive. Abe said he’d call me back.

Five minutes later, he had found one in stock at another business in Parramatta — and negotiated the same discount for me there.
He had just lost the sale, yet he was genuinely happy he could help. That says everything.

This is how an excellent reputation is earned: day by day, customer by customer. Could not possibly ask for more.

Thank you, Abe — AWESOME service!

Great product & service.

Easy purchase! This has given my original
Dyson vacuum cleaner a second lease of life! I am very happy!
