Hi

hmm... weird, can't find potassium hydrate anywhere on the internet, it's like it doesn't even exist??

its Lye   , old ash soap basis some time hyroxide, or potash if in fertiliser

Apparently potassium hydrate is also called potassium hydroxide or caustic potash - "Corrosive - may cause serious burns. Harmful by ingestion, inhalation and in contact with skin. If the solid or solution comes into contact with the eyes, serious eye damage may result"

Green Clean I think you might need to talk to your supplier about this.

Best Wishes

Hi Diane
We are now in regular contact with nenviro.com for their supplies of eco aware products and using with good results their degreasers, descaler and oven cleaner.
From which the most effective in my opinion is degreaser.
Thank you for your recommendation! 

Being ecologically aware as a cleaning company means to find the right balance between caring for safety of our employees, reducing the negative impact cause on environment and getting the job done to our usual very high standards. With that in mind I will continue the search for best solutions.
Thank you all for your comments and suggestions.

I think it's a fine line between saying that yes, we have to protect the planet, but also saying that yes, we have be able to live comfortably too. I've seen many people trying to 'save the planet' by endlessly reusing bags and not using cleaning products etc. but their comfort has suffered for it too.  I'm not saying we should go mad and start throwing everything away when we feel like it, but i do think it should be kept in perspective.
