Nordic expertise​ for sustainable hygiene

When our customers face challenging situations, we solve them together. Our solutions for foodservice are developed in and for the Nordics.

One of the innovations of our RDI is the Kiilto Pro Natura product range. Kiilto Pro Natura -products are made of plant-based, renewable and quickly biodegradable ingredients. This means that they quickly break down into carbon dioxide and water and do not form persistent compounds that would be harmful for the nature. In development of the Natura products the whole life cycle has been considered: raw materials, production, use,
disposal, and recycling.

High requirements are set not only on environmental friendliness but also on safety and quality. All Natura products eligible for the Nordic Swan Ecolabel certification have received it. The Nordic Swan Ecolabel has strong criteria, but Natura series is a step further: all Natura products are fragrance-free. Most of them also carry the Allergy label of the Finnish Allergy, Skin and Asthma Federation.

Taking care of the environment, one step at a time

By concentrating on matters of the greatest effect on the environment, we can make a difference. Remember that every action, no matter how small, contributes to the well-being of our planet. By adopting these eco-friendly habits, you become an essential part of the global movement towards a sustainable and thriving Earth.

How to take care of the environment while managing cleanliness:

• Sustainable consumption decreases the climate impact – remember to follow the dosing instructions to avoid over-consumption of detergents.
• Choose a product that has proven to be less harmful for the environment. You can do this by favouring products that have been rewarded with the Nordic Swan Ecolabel.
• Pay attention to the consumption of water.
• Recycle empty detergent packaging so the material can be re-used.

Training

​Ensuring the correct use of products and methods is an important safety aspect in a professional kitchen. We provide different kinds of training for our customers – from training and familiarization of our products to more specialized training on hygiene.

Hand hygiene is a part of quality food preparation

Good personal hygiene is always important to remember when handling food. Hands should be washed frequently enough with soap. Protective gloves can also be worn when necessary, but they must be replaced often enough and always when switching between work phases.

Inviting customer premises

When the public areas of the restaurant are inviting, customers can focus on enjoying the delicious food and welcoming atmosphere. ​Inviting public areas are clean and fresh, contributing to the wellbeing of both customers and staff alike.

Ensuring the hygiene level with self-monitoring

Self-monitoring helps to reach the best practices by guiding to choose the appropriate and situation-specific cleaning methods and detergents.

Critical points

Surfaces that are in direct contact with food are critical in order to ensure food safety. If the result is not satisfactory, the critical points can be identified and if necessary, corrective actions can be started immediately.

How to test surfaces?

Samples are collected from clean, dry surfaces and from the same point, always using the same method. There are different options for self-monitoring, such as Hygicult TPC or luminometry, i.e. so-called ATP meter. Hygicult TPC shows the total number of bacteria, whereas the ATP meter measures the amount of soil.

The promise is divided into four sectors that cover all our operations from every-day routines to innovations and from strategy to helping our customers in the field.
