Unlike espresso equipment, where cleaning is a visible, hands-on part of the daily routine, brewer cleaning tends to happen less frequently than it should. Coffee oils and residue accumulate gradually in brew baskets and vessels, and over time that build-up affects the taste of every cup that comes out of the machine. Urnex Tabz are designed to make this cleaning step as quick and foolproof as possible, which is exactly why they've become a go-to in commercial coffee environments worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tablet format is what sets Tabz apart from powder alternatives. Each tablet is pre-measured, which removes the guesswork from dosing and reduces the chance of operator error during a busy service. Drop the appropriate number of tablets into the brew basket, run a cycle, and the solution cleans the basket and the server simultaneously in a single pass. Tabz also contain a blue safety dye that remains visible in the solution, making it easy to confirm that thorough rinsing has taken place before the equipment goes back into service. Each tub contains 120 tablets, dosed at one tablet per 2 litres of vessel capacity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTabz are NSF certified and safe for use on food-contact surfaces, making them suitable for any commercial environment where hygiene standards matter.

For cafés, offices, hotels and catering operations where filter coffee service is part of the offer, a tub of Tabz is a straightforward addition to the cleaning kit that genuinely makes a difference to the quality of what ends up in the cup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-tags-section-title-no-margin\"\u003eSizing \u0026amp; Information\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Urnex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct: Tabz Coffee Equipment Cleaning Tablets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSKU: URN0901\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Tablets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuantity: 120 tablets per tub\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDosing: 1 tablet per 2 litres of vessel capacity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApplication methods: Brew cycle (basket and server simultaneously), vessel soak, spray head wipe-down\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoak time: 15 to 30 minutes for servers and airpots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible equipment: Coffee urns, batch brewers, airpots, thermal servers, glass coffee pots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKey action: Removes coffee oils and residue from brew baskets and serving vessels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSafety dye: Blue dye included to confirm thorough rinsing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCertification: NSF certified; safe for food-contact surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSafety: COSHH\/Safety Data Sheet available from Urnex.co.uk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturer: Urnex Brands LLC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-tags-section-title-no-margin\"\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat equipment are Urnex Tabz designed to clean? Tabz are designed for batch brewing equipment including coffee urns, drip brewers, airpots, thermal servers and glass coffee pots. They are not intended for use in espresso machines. For espresso machine cleaning, Cafiza2 is the appropriate product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow many tablets do I use per cleaning cycle? Use one Tabz tablet per 2 litres of vessel capacity. Place the tablets directly into the brew basket, then run a full brew cycle into the server. The solution will clean both the brew basket and the server in a single pass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat is the blue dye in Tabz for? The blue safety dye is a visual indicator built into each tablet. It remains visible in the cleaning solution, making it easy to confirm that all parts have been thoroughly rinsed before the equipment goes back into service. This is particularly useful in busy café and catering environments where multiple staff members may be involved in cleaning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow do I clean airpots and thermal servers with Tabz? For servers and airpots, dissolve the appropriate number of tablets in hot water directly inside the vessel (one tablet per 2 litres of capacity), allow to soak for 15 to 30 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with clean water before returning to service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCan I use Tabz to clean spray heads? Yes. You can use the Tabz solution to wipe down spray heads. Wet a cloth with the solution and wipe the spray head, then follow with a clean cloth. This is a useful addition to the standard cleaning cycle in any brewer setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow often should I clean my batch brewer or urn with Tabz? For commercial equipment in regular use, cleaning after every service period is recommended. The quick, single-cycle process makes this practical even in busy environments. For lower-volume settings, cleaning after each use or at minimum daily is a good standard to maintain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAre Tabz safe for food-contact surfaces? Yes. Tabz are NSF certified and approved for use on food-contact surfaces. As with any cleaning product, thorough rinsing after use is essential before the equipment is returned to service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow many cleaning cycles does a 120-tablet tub provide? This depends on the capacity of the equipment being cleaned. For a standard 2-litre server requiring one tablet per cycle, a tub of 120 tablets provides 120 individual cleaning cycles. Larger vessels requiring multiple tablets per cycle will naturally reduce the number of cycles per tub.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhere can I find the Safety Data Sheet for Tabz? The COSHH Safety Data Sheet for Tabz is available directly from \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/urnex.co.uk\/pages\/safety-data-sheets-1\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eUrnex.co.uk\u003c\/a\u003e. This is particularly relevant for commercial operators where COSHH documentation is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat is the difference between Tabz and Cafiza2? Tabz are formulated for batch brewing equipment such as urns, brewers and servers, and work via a brew cycle or soak method. Cafiza2 is a concentrated powder specifically designed for espresso machine cleaning via backflushing group heads and soaking portafilters. They serve different purposes and are complementary rather than interchangeable.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Urnex","offers":[{"title":"120 Tablet Tub","offer_id":56727149347202,"sku":"URNEX-0902-120TAB","price":12.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0045\/0343\/7346\/files\/Urnex_Tabz_Coffee_Brewer_Cleaning_Tablets_120pk.jpg?v=1782285260"},{"product_id":"urnex-cafiza2-cleaning-powder-coffee-brewers-espresso-machines","title":"Urnex Cafiza2 Cleaning Powder (900g) (Coffee Brewers \u0026 Espresso Machines)","description":"\u003cp\u003eIf you're pulling shots on any kind of regularity, you already know that espresso machine cleaning isn't optional. Coffee oils and tannins build up fast in group heads, valves, lines and portafilters, and left unchecked, they'll affect both the flavour of your espresso and the long-term performance of your machine. Cafiza2 by Urnex is the industry-standard answer to that problem, and it's been trusted by professional baristas and coffee shops worldwide for good reason. Whether you're running a busy café service or dialling in at home with a prosumer machine, this is the cleaner that belongs in your kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe powder formula is specifically engineered to break down stubborn coffee oil and residue from the internal components of espresso machines.

Used correctly as part of your daily backflush routine, Cafiza2 keeps your group heads performing consistently and ensures that nothing from yesterday's service gets in the way of today's extraction.

Each group head should be backflushed individually using a blind filter. For home machines, once a week is a good starting point, though this will vary depending on how frequently you're using it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow much Cafiza2 do I use per backflush? For each group head, use up to 3g (roughly half a teaspoon) of Cafiza2 powder inserted into the blind filter. For soaking portafilters, baskets and shower screens, dissolve 6g per litre of hot water and soak for up to 30 minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIs Cafiza2 safe to use on my espresso machine? Yes, Cafiza2 is formulated for use with a wide range of traditional commercial and prosumer espresso machines. Always follow your machine manufacturer's instructions regarding backflushing and disassembly. If you're unsure whether your machine supports backflushing, check the manufacturer's guide before using.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDoes Cafiza2 leave any residue or affect coffee flavour? When used and rinsed correctly, Cafiza2 leaves no residue. The formula is specifically balanced for optimal rinsing. After each backflush cycle, always run additional rinse cycles without powder and make and discard a test shot before returning to service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCan I use Cafiza2 on a machine that doesn't support backflushing? Yes, Cafiza2 can still be used for soaking portafilters, filter baskets and shower screens in a solution of 6g per litre of hot water. This is also useful as a supplementary cleaning method even on machines that do support backflushing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCan Cafiza2 be used on coffee brewers and other equipment? Yes. For coffee brewers, sprinkle 3g of Cafiza2 powder per 2 litres of brewer capacity directly into the brew basket, run a full brew cycle, and hold for 30 minutes before rinsing thoroughly. It's also effective on roasting equipment when used appropriately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow many doses does a 900g tub provide? The 900g tub provides approximately 450 individual doses based on the standard 3g backflush dose. For a single-group machine used in a busy café environment, one tub should last several months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhere can I find the Safety Data Sheet for Cafiza2? The COSHH Safety Data Sheet for Cafiza2 is available directly from \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/urnex.co.uk\/pages\/safety-data-sheets-1\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eUrnex.co.uk\u003c\/a\u003e.

It remains fully compatible with the same cleaning protocols and equipment types as the original product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDo I need any special equipment to use Cafiza2? For backflushing, you'll need a blind filter (also known as a blanking disc) that fits your portafilter. Beyond that, the process requires only your standard portafilter and group head setup. For soaking, you'll need a suitable container and hot water. Urnex recommends wearing rubber gloves and eye protection when handling the solution.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Urnex","offers":[{"title":"900g","offer_id":56727149314434,"sku":"URNEX-0402-900G","price":10.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0045\/0343\/7346\/files\/Urnex_Cafiza2_Espresso_Machine_Cleaning_Powder_900g.jpg?v=1782200335"},{"product_id":"urnex-cafiza-cleaning-powder-coffee-brewers-espresso-machines","title":"Urnex Cafiza Cleaning Powder (566g) (Coffee Brewers \u0026 Espresso Machines)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThere's a reason Cafiza has been a fixture in the coffee industry for decades. It does one thing, it does it exceptionally well, and it doesn't overcomplicate the process. If you're running a home espresso setup or a lower-volume environment where a full commercial-size tub feels like overkill, the 566g jar is the format that makes the most sense.

NSF certified for metal compatibility and safety, it's trusted by equipment manufacturers, baristas and home enthusiasts alike.

The core function of both products is the same: concentrated espresso machine cleaning powder for backflushing and soaking. The primary difference is size. Cafiza comes in a 566g jar, which is well suited to home, prosumer and lower-volume environments. Cafiza2 is available in a 900g tub offering approximately 450 doses, which makes it the more practical choice for busy café environments running daily backflush routines across multiple group heads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow do I use Cafiza to backflush my espresso machine? Insert a blind filter into your portafilter and add up to 3g (half a teaspoon) of Cafiza powder. Insert the portafilter into the group head and activate the brew cycle for 10 seconds, stop for 10 seconds, and repeat five times. Remove the portafilter, activate the brew cycle to rinse the portafilter in the flow from the group head, then reinsert and repeat the start-stop cycle five more times without powder. Finally, make and discard a shot of espresso to confirm no residue remains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow do I use Cafiza as a soak for portafilters and filter baskets? Dissolve 6g of Cafiza powder per litre of hot water and soak filters and the metal parts of your portafilter for 30 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with clean hot water before returning to use. Do not submerge portafilter handles in the solution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIs Cafiza safe to use on my espresso machine? Yes. Cafiza is NSF certified for metal compatibility and safety, and is recommended for use with a wide range of traditional espresso machines. Always follow your machine manufacturer's instructions for backflushing and disassembly before use. If you're unsure whether your machine supports backflushing, check your manufacturer's guide first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDoes Cafiza leave any taste or residue behind? No. The formula is odourless and specifically balanced for clean rinsing. When the correct backflush and rinse protocol is followed, including the final purge shot, no residue remains in the machine. The purge shot step is important and shouldn't be skipped.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow often should I backflush with Cafiza? For home and prosumer machines in regular daily use, backflushing weekly is a good baseline. If you're pulling multiple shots per day, you might find every few days more appropriate. Commercial machines should be backflushed at the end of every service. Your machine's portafilter and shower screen will tell you a lot about how frequently cleaning is needed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Urnex","offers":[{"title":"566g","offer_id":56727149445506,"sku":"URNEX-1502-566G","price":9.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0045\/0343\/7346\/files\/Urnex_Cafiza_Espresso_Machine_Cleaning_Powder_566g_970052aa-e2d5-4130-9d36-38f113455db5.jpg?v=1782285189"},{"product_id":"urnex-grindz-cleaning-tablets-coffee-grinders","title":"Urnex Grindz Cleaning Tablets (430g) (Coffee Grinders)","description":"\u003cp\u003eYour grinder is doing a lot of work. Every dose that passes through the burrs leaves behind a small amount of coffee oil and fine particulate residue, and over time that accumulation affects grind consistency, clogs the burr geometry and introduces stale, rancid flavours into every shot or brew that follows. It's one of those things that happens gradually enough that you might not notice until the damage to cup quality is already done. Regular grinder cleaning is genuinely important, and Grindz from Urnex is the most practical way to do it properly without taking your grinder apart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes Grindz clever is the format. Rather than requiring any disassembly, water or brushing out of individual burr chambers, you simply run the tablets through the grinder as you would a dose of coffee. The proprietary tablet formula, made from natural grains, cereals and pharmaceutical-grade binders, passes through the burr set and absorbs coffee oils and residue as it goes. The process takes minutes, requires no special tools, and leaves no harmful residue behind. The formula is food-safe, gluten-free and has been patented since its launch in 2005 following extensive field testing. After the Grindz cycle, a couple of purge doses with coffee beans clear any remaining traces before you're back in service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 430g tub is well suited to café environments or anyone maintaining multiple grinders, and the process scales easily across different grinder types. Grindz works on both flat and conical burr grinders, covering the full range of standalone espresso and filter grinders you're likely to be running. It's worth emphasising the standalone grinder requirement here: Grindz is not suitable for grinders integrated into automatic espresso or bean-to-cup machines. For those setups, specific cleaning tablets designed for integrated systems are the appropriate choice.

As the tablets are ground, they absorb coffee oils, remove residue from the burr geometry and clean the internal casing. The process is entirely dry and requires no disassembly, water or specialist tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhich grinders is Grindz suitable for? Grindz is suitable for standalone coffee grinders with flat or conical burr sets, including both commercial espresso grinders and domestic grinders. It is not suitable for grinders that are integrated into automatic espresso machines or bean-to-cup machines. For integrated grinder systems, you'll need a cleaning product specifically designed for that purpose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow much Grindz should I use per cleaning cycle? Use one capful (35 to 40g) for espresso grinders, or two capfuls (70 to 80g) for larger shop grinders. A dosing chart is available for reference. Set the grinder to a medium grind setting for the cleaning cycle rather than your usual espresso or filter setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDo I need to purge the grinder after using Grindz? Yes. After running the Grindz tablets through, purge the grinder by running two doses of coffee beans through at your normal grind setting. Discard the grounds produced during these purge cycles before returning to service. This ensures no trace of the cleaning tablets remains in the grind path.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIs Grindz safe for food environments? Yes. Grindz is made from food-safe, gluten-free ingredients. Any harmless dust produced during the grinding process can simply be wiped from the hopper, spout and doser. The formula leaves no harmful residue in the grinder after the purge cycles are completed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow often should I clean my grinder with Grindz? For commercial grinders in regular use, a weekly cleaning cycle is a sensible starting point, though higher-volume environments may benefit from more frequent cleaning. For home grinders, once a month is generally sufficient. If you notice grind inconsistency, unusual flavours or a build-up of oily residue in the hopper, that's a good prompt to run a cleaning cycle regardless of your usual schedule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCan Grindz be used on grinders that handle flavoured or single origin coffees? Yes, and this is actually one of the more useful applications for Grindz. If you're switching between different coffees, particularly between flavoured coffees or very distinct single origin lots, running a Grindz cycle between them helps clear residual oils and odours from the previous coffee and prevents flavour carry-over into the next one.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Urnex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56727149478274,"sku":"URNEX-1001-430G","price":22.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0045\/0343\/7346\/files\/Urnex_Grindz_Coffee_Grinder_Cleaning_Tablets_430g_107dbbef-0c7f-4fd0-a861-f953b343182a.jpg?v=1782285327"},{"product_id":"urnex-rinza-alkaline-milk-system-cleaner-espresso-machines","title":"Urnex Rinza Alkaline Milk System Cleaner (1.1 Litres) (Espresso Machines)","description":"\u003cp\u003eIf you're serving milk-based drinks, steam wand and milk system hygiene deserves just as much attention as your espresso machine cleaning routine. Milk residue builds up quickly inside steam wands, automatic frother systems and internal milk lines, and left unchecked it creates a breeding ground for bacteria, generates unpleasant odours and has a direct impact on the taste of every flat white and latte you pull. Rinza Alkaline from Urnex is the professional-standard solution for keeping milk systems clean, and it's a product that earns its place in any café or home espresso setup where steamed milk is part of the picture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe alkaline formula is specifically engineered to cut through the three things that make milk residue so stubborn: proteins, fats and calcium deposits. It works both as a circulating cleaner for automatic frother systems and as a soak for steam wands, pitchers and removable milk system components. The 1.1-litre bottle includes a built-in dosing chamber, which takes the guesswork out of measuring and reduces waste during busy service. At a dilution of 15 to 30ml per 500ml of water for auto-frothers and 30ml per 500ml for soaking, a single bottle delivers over 30 uses, making it genuinely good value for regular maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRinza is NSF certified and safe for food-contact surfaces, which matters in any commercial setting where hygiene compliance is non-negotiable.

Paired with Cafiza2 for espresso machine cleaning, Rinza completes the core cleaning routine for any setup where milk is a significant part of the menu.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-tags-section-title-no-margin\"\u003eSizing \u0026amp; Information\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Urnex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct: Rinza Alkaline Milk System Cleaner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSKU: URN0101\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Liquid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVolume: 1.1 litres\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApprox. uses per bottle: 30+\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDosing for auto-frothers: 15 to 30ml per 500ml of cold water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDosing for steam wands and soaking: 30ml per 500ml of warm water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoak time: 15 to 30 minutes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApplication methods: Circulation through auto-frother system, component soak, steam wand soak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible equipment: Automatic milk frothers, traditional steam wands, bean-to-cup milk systems, internal milk lines, stainless steel milk pitchers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKey action: Breaks down milk proteins, fats and calcium deposits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormula type: Alkaline\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt-in dosing chamber: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCertification: NSF certified; safe for food-contact surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSafety: COSHH\/Safety Data Sheet available from Urnex.co.uk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturer: Urnex Brands LLC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-tags-section-title-no-margin\"\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat does Rinza Alkaline actually clean? Rinza Alkaline is formulated to break down the three main components of milk residue: proteins, fats and calcium deposits. These accumulate inside steam wands, automatic frother systems, internal milk lines and stainless steel pitchers, and are the primary cause of off-flavours, blocked lines and unhygienic equipment in any setup that serves milk-based drinks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow do I use Rinza with an automatic milk frother? Mix 15 to 30ml of Rinza with 500ml of cold water, insert the suction tube into the solution, and run the entire solution through the frother system. Follow with two full rinse cycles using fresh cold water to ensure all traces of the cleaning solution are flushed through before the system goes back into service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow do I use Rinza to clean a steam wand? Mix 30ml of Rinza with 500ml of warm water and soak the steam wand or any removable milk system components in the solution for 15 to 30 minutes. Rinse all parts thoroughly with clean water before returning to service. The same solution can be used to soak stainless steel milk pitchers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow often should I clean my milk system with Rinza? For commercial machines in regular use, daily cleaning is the recommended standard. Milk residue builds up quickly, particularly in warm milk line environments, and regular cleaning prevents the kind of build-up that leads to blocked lines, persistent odours and compromised drink quality. For lower-volume home setups, cleaning after every use or at minimum daily is good practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIs Rinza Alkaline safe for bean-to-cup machines with integrated milk systems? Yes, Rinza Alkaline is compatible with the integrated milk systems found in bean-to-cup machines. Always follow your machine manufacturer's instructions for milk system cleaning cycles, as the specific process will vary by machine model. Rinza is safe for use on all internal milk system components and food-contact surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow many uses does a 1.1-litre bottle provide? The 1.1-litre bottle provides over 30 uses based on the standard dosing of 30ml per cleaning cycle. The bottle includes a built-in dosing chamber to make measuring quick and accurate, which also helps minimise waste and ensure consistent dosing across a busy team.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIs there a difference between Rinza Alkaline and Rinza Acid? Yes. Rinza Alkaline (this product) is formulated to break down organic milk residue including proteins and fats, and is suitable for daily use on all milk systems. Rinza Acid is designed to remove mineral scale and calcium deposits that can build up specifically in automatic milk frother systems over time. The two products target different types of residue and are often used as part of a combined maintenance routine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIs Rinza safe for food-contact surfaces? Yes, Rinza Alkaline is NSF certified and approved for use on food-contact surfaces. Thorough rinsing after each cleaning cycle is essential before the equipment is returned to service, particularly in commercial environments where food hygiene compliance is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhere can I find the Safety Data Sheet for Rinza? The COSHH Safety Data Sheet for Rinza Alkaline is available directly from \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/urnex.co.uk\/pages\/safety-data-sheets-1\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eUrnex.co.uk\u003c\/a\u003e. This documentation is particularly relevant for commercial environments where COSHH records are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCan Rinza be used on stainless steel milk pitchers? Yes. Stainless steel milk pitchers can be soaked in a Rinza solution of 30ml per 500ml of warm water for 15 to 30 minutes, then rinsed thoroughly with clean water. This removes milk fat and protein residue that builds up on the interior surface of pitchers during regular service.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Urnex","offers":[{"title":"1.1 Litre Bottle","offer_id":56727149740418,"sku":"URNEX-0102-1.1L","price":15.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0045\/0343\/7346\/files\/Urnex_Rinza_Alkaline_Milk_System_Cleaner_1.1L.jpg?v=1782139806"},{"product_id":"urnex-dezcal-activated-descaler-powder-coffee-brewers-and-espresso-machines","title":"Urnex Dezcal Activated Descaler Powder (900g) (Coffee Brewers \u0026 Espresso Machines)","description":"\u003cp\u003eLimescale is one of those problems that creeps up on you. It doesn't happen overnight, but mineral deposits from hard water gradually build up inside boilers, heating elements and water lines, quietly restricting flow, destabilising brew temperatures and, ultimately, degrading the taste of your coffee. If you're in the UK, where water hardness varies enormously by region, descaling isn't a nice-to-have, it's an essential part of keeping any coffee equipment in proper working order. Urnex Dezcal is the professional-grade answer, and it's what we'd reach for when it's time to tackle scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDezcal's activated powder formula is specifically designed to dissolve limescale and calcium deposits from the internal components of coffee and espresso machines without damaging the metals inside.

These two products do different jobs. Cafiza2 is a detergent-based cleaner designed to remove coffee oils and residue from group heads, portafilters and internal machine surfaces via backflushing and soaking. Dezcal is a descaler, formulated specifically to dissolve mineral scale and limescale deposits from boilers, heating elements and water lines. For a complete cleaning routine, you ideally want both.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow often should I descale my espresso machine with Dezcal? This depends on your local water hardness and how frequently you use your machine. As a general guide, home machines in hard water areas should be descaled every one to three months. Commercial machines vary depending on water quality and usage volume. Many modern machines have a built-in descaling indicator, and this is a useful starting point, though regular maintenance is always better than waiting for a prompt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat is the correct dilution ratio for Dezcal? Dissolve 28g of Dezcal powder per 1 litre of warm water, stirring thoroughly until the powder is fully dissolved before use. This ratio applies whether you're running the solution through a machine, soaking removed components, or submerging a boiler for a soak descale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCan Dezcal be used on all espresso machines? Dezcal is safe for use on all machine metals and is compatible with a wide range of espresso machines, coffee brewers, kettles and pod machines. Always check your machine manufacturer's instructions before descaling, as some machines have specific descaling procedures or recommended products. If in doubt, consult the manufacturer's guide first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow long should I leave the Dezcal solution in my machine? For in-machine descaling, the standard process involves running half the solution through, allowing it to sit for 15 to 20 minutes, then completing the cycle. For soaking removed components or boilers, leave the parts submerged for up to 30 minutes depending on the severity of the scale build-up, then rinse thoroughly with clean water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow many rinse cycles do I need to run after descaling? After running the Dezcal solution through your machine, flush with at least two full tanks of clean water to ensure all traces of the descaling solution are removed before you brew. Thorough rinsing is important, so don't skip this step.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIs Dezcal safe for the environment? Yes. Dezcal is biodegradable and phosphate-free, making it a more environmentally responsible choice for regular descaling use compared to some alternative formulas. It's also non-toxic when used as directed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCan I use Dezcal on a kettle or pod machine? Yes, Dezcal is suitable for kettles and pod machines as well as traditional espresso equipment. Mix at the standard ratio of 28g per litre of warm water, run or soak as appropriate for the appliance, and rinse thoroughly before use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhere can I find the safety sheet for Dezcal? The COSHH Safety Data Sheet for Dezcal is available directly from \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/urnex.co.uk\/pages\/safety-data-sheets-1\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eUrnex.co.uk\u003c\/a\u003e. This documentation is particularly important for commercial environments where COSHH compliance is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow does limescale actually affect my coffee? Limescale build-up inside a machine restricts water flow and reduces the efficiency of heating elements, which means your machine struggles to reach and hold a stable brew temperature. This directly affects extraction quality and, ultimately, the taste of your coffee. Consistent descaling keeps your machine performing as it should and protects the equipment from longer-term damage caused by mineral accumulation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Urnex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56727149773186,"sku":"URNEX-4302-900G","price":12.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0045\/0343\/7346\/files\/Urnex_Dezcal_Activated_Descaler_Powder_900g_3e3ff1cc-5f02-4986-baaa-c29c62d8b975.jpg?v=1782285371"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0045\/0343\/7346\/collections\/Urnex-Coffee-Machine-Cleaning-Tablets-Powder-At-GUSTATORY.jpg?v=1782285087","url":"https:\/\/www.gustatory.co\/collections\/urnex.oembed","provider":"GUSTATORY","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
