Looking for a cleaning agent that is most commonly used by the pros? Have some environment regulations that you need to meet…or you just want to find a product that is considered more environmentally safe? Check out Sterox, a chlorine-free, caustic-free powder agent that can make your process shine!

Sterox is an oxygen-based cleaning agent that has been used in fermented beverage applications for over a decade. This product is highly regarded for performance and ease-of-use. All it takes to make a difference is the right concentration of Sterox, clean water, and about as much time as it will take to finish your morning coffee. This product is non-corrosive to stainless steel, natural and synthetic rubber, plastic, glass and other common surfaces.

Ravago Chemicals North America (RCNA) recommends using cleaning products both before and after production. Even if tanks, hoses or vats have been cleaned after the last cycle, contamination can continue to creep into the equipment from natural elements in the air or other nearby production. Odor can be an unexpected issue for storage tanks or other apparatus that have been sitting idle. Just before production, a final cleaning with Sterox and a quick water rinse will help to guarantee the best results!

This cleaning material is considered relatively safe for your employees or seasonal workers. While RCNA always recommends the use of gloves, masks and boots during a cleaning cycle, Sterox will not cause a burn in contact with skin like other, more aggressive chemicals can.
