Chemical Facts

Are you concerned about the amount of chemicals that are in everyday use?

Are you concerned about the long-term effects and possible harmful build-up within our homes and bodies?

At Dri-Pak, we concentrate on providing age-old cleaning products that are as effective as modern chemical cleaners, yet have been proven to be safe in use and do not contribute to toxic build-up.

Although you may argue that modern cleaners are diluted so pose no danger, what happens when the water has evaporated and those chemicals are left on your work surface....just waiting for that next slice of bread as you make up the lunchtime sandwich?

Did you know?

Soda Crystals, Borax, White Vinegar, Bicarbonate of Soda and Soap Flakes are all biodegradable and very cost effective - there's no cleaning or laundry task that can't be covered by this arsenal of trusted cleaners. Just think how much money you'll save - not to mention the space you’ll gain under the kitchen sink!

You can safely combine Dri-Pak products to tackle specific jobs and boost the cleaning power; for example, if you mix some Bicarbonate of Soda with White Vinegar, it makes a great scouring cream for cleaning tile grout and removing limescale.


Top Tip

For those really tough jobs, like dirty ovens, don't rely on oven cleaners that use toxic and caustic ingredients - which can cause irritation to skin, eyes and the nose, use a mixture of Borax, Soda Crystals and vinegar, apply with a brush and leave the paste for an hour or two. With most cleaning tasks, you can reduce the amount of elbow grease needed by giving Dri-Pak products time to tackle dirt and grime. Put the kettle on and make yourself a long drink - you've earned it!
