Why most facilities use
too many chemicals
and how to fix it.

The average commercial operation runs 7–10 separate cleaning SKUs. Each one needs its own SDS, training, storage, and compliance trail. Plant-based chemistry consolidation is a simpler model here's how it works.

How the System Works

The Chemistry
Behind Consolidation.

Traditional industrial cleaners use petroleum-derived surfactants synthetic molecules engineered to lift soils but slow to biodegrade and often harsh on respiratory systems. Plant-based surfactants, derived from sources like coconut, corn, and sugar beet, are amphiphilic: each molecule has a water-attracting head and an oil-attracting tail. That dual nature lets a single formulation tackle grease, organic buildup, and general soiling without needing separate chemistries.

Because one well-formulated plant-based concentrate can cover the role of multiple specialised products, facilities can consolidate from 7–10 SKUs to one or two reducing the SDS burden, chemical storage footprint, and the cross-contamination risk that comes with managing many products at once.

All products ship with GHS Rev. 7 compliant Safety Data Sheets and OSHA HazCom-ready documentation formatted for immediate audit use.

Industrial Cleaning & Facilities

What a Consolidated
Chemical Program Looks Like.

Most facility cleaning programs grew by accumulation a degreaser added here, a specialty sanitiser there. The result is a sprawling SKU list, each product with its own SDS binder requirement, its own training burden, and its own vendor relationship. Chemical consolidation is the process of mapping overlapping product functions and replacing them with a multi-purpose formulation that covers each use case at the right dilution ratio.

TrueClean Pro's plant-based surfactant concentrate is formulated across a dilution range: lighter ratios (1:64) for routine surface maintenance, heavier ratios (1:16) for grease and organic buildup on kitchen equipment. One product, different dilutions, for different tasks.

What the System Actually Does

SKU Consolidation How It Works

Plant-based surfactants are amphiphilic they bind to both water and oil simultaneously. At different concentrations, the same molecule handles light surface maintenance and heavy grease removal. That range is what allows one product to retire several single-purpose chemicals.

Surface Compatibility

The pH range (7.5–8.5 in concentrate) is neutral-to-mildly alkaline effective on organic soils without the corrosive edge of strongly alkaline degreasers. Suitable for floors, stainless steel, food prep equipment, restroom tile, and most washable hard surfaces.

Grease Removal Mechanism

Rather than relying on solvent penetration (the conventional degreaser approach), plant-based surfactants encapsulate fat and oil molecules into micelles tiny spherical structures that suspend grease in water so it rinses away cleanly instead of redepositing.

Equipment Compatibility

The concentrate is designed for standard dilution control systems, auto scrubbers, mop buckets, and trigger sprayers already in use. No proprietary dispensing hardware is required dilution cards specify ratios for each application type.

VOC Exposure & Indoor Air Quality

OSHA regulates VOC exposure in the workplace. This formulation tests at <50 g/L VOC well below CARB limits which reduces inhalation hazard during application. Lower VOC is particularly relevant in enclosed food service and healthcare environments.

OSHA HazCom 2024 Alignment

OSHA's updated Hazard Communication Standard (effective July 2024) aligns with GHS Revision 7. SDS documentation for TrueClean Pro products is formatted to this standard covering the 16-section format, updated hazard classification language, and labelling requirements.

Before & After: What Actually Changes Operationally

Fragmented Program

The multi-SKU model most facilities inherit over time

7–10 Separate Chemical SKUs

Each product requires its own SDS, storage location, dilution training, and purchasing relationship. The compliance burden multiplies with every additional SKU.

Per-Product Training Requirement

OSHA HazCom requires employees to understand the hazards of each chemical they handle. More products means more training content a significant burden in high-turnover environments.

Fragmented SDS Documentation

Each product needs a current, GHS Rev. 7 compliant SDS accessible to workers. Auditors check for completeness, currency, and proper formatting gaps are common with large chemical inventories.

Elevated VOC Exposure Risk

Many conventional degreasers and solvent-based cleaners carry high VOC loads. In enclosed spaces kitchens, restrooms, equipment rooms this creates measurable inhalation exposure for staff.

Consolidated Program

What the operation looks like after chemical consolidation

1–2 Multi-Purpose SKUs

One plant-based concentrate diluted differently per application covers the functions previously handled by multiple products. Fewer purchase orders, fewer storage locations, one SDS to maintain.

Single-Product Training Protocol

Staff learn one product's hazard profile, dilution ratios, and dwell times. This simplifies initial training and makes compliance retraining required periodically under HazCom far more manageable.

GHS Rev. 7 SDS One Document

A single, current Safety Data Sheet covers the full product line. The 16-section GHS format includes full ingredient disclosure, exposure controls, and first aid measures ready for inspector review.

VOC <50 g/L Low Inhalation Risk

Plant-derived surfactants carry significantly lower VOC loads than solvent-based equivalents. This directly reduces workplace exposure and is a measurable improvement for environments with GREENGUARD or indoor air quality requirements.

Common Questions Answered With Context

Why can one product replace seven or eight others?

Plant-based surfactants are multi-functional at the molecular level. At lower dilution ratios (1:64), they handle routine surface maintenance. At higher concentrations (1:16), the same chemistry lifts heavy grease. The dilution range is what enables one SKU to cover multiple cleaning tasks that previously required separate, purpose-built chemicals.

How do plant-based surfactants actually remove grease?

Surfactant molecules are amphiphilic they have both a water-loving head and an oil-loving tail. When applied to a greasy surface, the tails attach to the grease molecules and the heads remain in the water phase. This encapsulates the grease into tiny structures called micelles, which stay suspended in the rinse water instead of redepositing on the surface.

What does dwell time mean and why does it matter?

Dwell time is the period a product remains on the surface before agitation or rinsing. During dwell, the surfactant molecules migrate into the soil layer and begin emulsification. Cutting dwell short reduces effectiveness and often requires more product or re-application. Protocol guides specify recommended dwell times by application type.

What is GHS and how does it affect SDS requirements?

The Globally Harmonized System (GHS) is an international framework for chemical hazard classification and labelling. OSHA's HazCom Standard was updated in July 2024 to align with GHS Revision 7 affecting approximately 94% of existing SDS documents. TrueClean Pro products ship with SDS formatted to this updated standard, covering all 16 mandatory sections.

What is VOC content and why does it matter indoors?

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are organic chemicals that evaporate at room temperature. OSHA and CARB regulate VOC content in cleaning products because inhalation exposure particularly in enclosed spaces can cause respiratory irritation and longer-term health effects. Plant-based formulations typically carry far lower VOC loads than solvent-based industrial cleaners; this product tests at <50 g/L.

How does chemical consolidation affect audit readiness?

Audits under OSHA's HazCom standard require employers to maintain current SDS for every hazardous chemical employees may encounter. Each additional SKU in your inventory is another document to keep current, formatted correctly, and accessible. Consolidating from 10 products to 1–2 directly reduces the documentation surface area an auditor can find gaps in.

How Plant-Based Cleaning Works

15 questions covering the science, dilution ratios, surface compatibility, OSHA compliance requirements, and how consolidation works in practice.

What does this product replace in my current cleaning program?
The system is formulated to replace multiple traditional product categories: all-purpose cleaners, light degreasers, and general surface sanitisers. The same plant-based surfactant concentrate handles each task at a different dilution ratio lighter mixes for routine maintenance, stronger mixes for grease-heavy surfaces. This is the mechanism that enables SKU reduction, not a marketing claim.
Why does plant-based chemistry allow one product to replace several?
Plant-derived surfactants are amphiphilic each molecule has both a hydrophilic (water-attracting) and hydrophobic (oil-attracting) region. At higher concentrations the oil-attracting tail is more aggressive, which is why the same ingredient formula can clean grease at 1:16 dilution and handle general surfaces at 1:64. Conventional cleaners are often formulated for a single task and concentration, requiring separate products for different soil loads.
What surfaces can this be used on?
The product's pH range (7.5–8.5 at concentrate) is neutral-to-mildly alkaline. This makes it effective on organic soils without the corrosive risk associated with strongly alkaline degreasers (pH 12+). Compatible surfaces include sealed floors, stainless steel equipment, restroom tile, walls, and general hard surfaces in commercial kitchens, healthcare environments, and institutional facilities. The Technical Data Sheet specifies compatibility limits.
Is this safe for use in kitchens and food prep areas?
When used at the food-contact dilution ratio (1:64 per the TDS), the formulation is designed for use in food service environments. This dilution rate and its safety basis are documented in the Technical Data Sheet. Operators should always follow the TDS dilution card and rinse guidance for food-contact surfaces the SDS covers exposure controls and first aid relevant to concentrate handling.
How does this compare to traditional solvent-based degreasers?
Conventional degreasers typically rely on organic solvents or strongly alkaline chemistry to penetrate and lift grease. These approaches often carry high VOC content and significant inhalation hazard in enclosed spaces. Plant-based surfactants lift grease through micelle formation encapsulating fat molecules in water-suspending structures without relying on solvents. The trade-off is that dwell time becomes more important: the surfactant needs time to penetrate the soil layer before agitation.
Does it require dwell time and how long?
Yes. Dwell time allows the surfactant molecules to migrate into the soil and begin emulsification. Reducing or skipping dwell time is the most common reason plant-based cleaners underperform conventional degreasers in field comparisons. Recommended dwell times by application type are documented in the protocol guide included with every kit — typically 1–3 minutes for general surfaces and 3–5 minutes for heavy grease accumulation.
What is the correct dilution ratio?
Dilution varies by task: 1:64 (2 oz/gallon) for food-contact and light surface cleaning; 1:32 (4 oz/gallon) for general facility and floor scrubbing; 1:16 (8 oz/gallon) for heavy-duty degreasing. Using a stronger dilution than necessary wastes product — using a weaker dilution on heavy soils results in re-cleaning. A laminated dilution card is included with the sample kit and posted at dispensing stations.
Can my team use this without extensive training?
Fewer products means fewer HazCom training topics. Under OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard, employees must be trained on the hazards of every chemical they handle. Consolidating from 10 products to 1–2 materially reduces that training burden. The system includes a dilution card and an implementation checklist — most teams can be oriented in a single shift briefing, compared to multi-session training required for large multi-product inventories.
Will it work with my current equipment?
The concentrate is compatible with standard dilution control dispensers (Dema, Hydro Systems, etc.), auto scrubber tanks, mop buckets, and trigger sprayers. No proprietary hardware is required. The specific gravity (1.02–1.06) and viscosity (<50 cP at 25°C) are within the typical range accepted by dilution control systems — the TDS lists exact parameters if your equipment supplier needs them.
What is the expected effect on chemical spend?
The main cost lever is SKU reduction, not product price per litre. Eliminating vendor relationships, reducing purchase order volume, and cutting storage and waste disposal costs associated with multiple products often adds up to more than the per-unit price difference. Additionally, concentrate formats carry less weight and volume per use than ready-to-use products, reducing shipping costs. Actual savings vary by operation size and current program configuration.
How many products can realistically be eliminated?
The range depends on your current inventory. Facilities typically run: an all-purpose cleaner, a degreaser, a floor cleaner, a restroom cleaner, and sometimes specialty products for stainless, glass, or odour control. A well-formulated plant-based concentrate replaces the first three to four categories. Products requiring EPA-registered disinfectant claims or specific deodorising actives may need to remain separate — a programme review identifies which SKUs can be consolidated and which cannot.
Is it safe for employees and building occupants?
The formulation is not classified as hazardous under OSHA HazCom 2024 (29 CFR 1910.1200). VOC content <50 g/L reduces inhalation risk during application. The GHS classification: not a carcinogen, mutagen, or reproductive toxin. Standard PPE for concentrate handling is safety glasses and chemical-resistant gloves. The SDS Section 8 covers exposure controls and occupational exposure limits in full.
Are Safety Data Sheets available and what format?
Yes. SDS documents follow the OSHA-mandated 16-section GHS format, updated to align with the July 2024 HazCom final rule (GHS Rev. 7). Sections include: identification, hazard identification, composition/ingredient disclosure, first aid, firefighting, accidental release, handling/storage, exposure controls/PPE, physical/chemical properties, stability/reactivity, toxicological information, ecological information, disposal, transport, regulatory, and other information. Available for download in the Resource Library below.
What does OSHA's 2024 HazCom update actually change?
OSHA's final rule (effective July 19, 2024) aligned the U.S. Hazard Communication Standard with GHS Revision 7. Key changes include updated hazard classification criteria, revised labelling requirements for small containers, a new "chemicals under pressure" hazard category, and clarifications to SDS content requirements. The rule affects approximately 94% of existing SDS documents — facilities still using pre-2024 SDS for any chemical technically have non-compliant documentation. Employer training compliance deadlines extend to November 2026 for newly classified substances.
Can a greener product help with contract procurement or client audits?
Many healthcare, education, and food service clients now include chemical programme requirements in their cleaning contracts — requesting low-VOC or GREENGUARD-qualified products, biodegradable formulations, or documented SDS compliance. A plant-based programme with verifiable <50 g/L VOC, >90% biodegradability (OECD 301B), and current GHS SDS provides documentable answers to those procurement questions. This is increasingly relevant in regulated environments where clients conduct their own EH&S audits of contractor programmes.
