Unox detergents & washing systems

We engineered a better way to clean your oven.

Pursuing perfect cleaning performance.
In our ongoing quest for excellence, we discovered that designing cutting-edge ovens was only part of the challenge. Outstanding performance also relies on flawless cleaning — and that means dedicated solutions tailored to every need.
What is dirt, really?
Our team of chemists and physicists, working closely with industry experts and the University of Padua, studied every type of residue found in professional ovens — from animal fats and plant-based deposits to stubborn carbon build-up and baked-on crusts.

How do we beat it?
Once we fully understood the nature of dirt, we developed a system designed to eliminate it with precision and consistency. Our solution isn’t a single product — it’s a fully integrated cleaning ecosystem engineered by Unox that delivers results beyond market standards.

The science of cleaning, applied to ovens.
By studying Sinner’s Circle theory, we uncovered the formula for perfect cleaning: the ideal balance of chemistry, mechanics, time and temperature. This equilibrium is essential for cleaning that’s both efficient and sustainable — and today, Unox has mastered all four.

Chemical action.
We’ve analysed every type of dirt and selected the perfect mix of agents and dosages to remove even the most stubborn residues — all without affecting the integrity of our ovens’ components.

Temperature.
There’s a precise point where high heat speeds up the breakdown of dirt — without driving up energy use or compromising operator safety. Our engineers found it.

Time.
Time boosts detergent effectiveness — but in a professional kitchen, every second matters. We studied real-world workflows to strike the perfect balance between cleaning performance and speed.

Mechanical action.
No one enjoys scrubbing. That’s why we’ve made cleaning smarter — using heat, chemistry and timing to minimise mechanical effort. The oven does 
the hard work, so our customers don’t have to.
We created our own range of detergents.
Backed by in-depth research with academics and chemical experts, we’ve developed detergents that go beyond industry standards. Every ingredient is carefully selected to deliver exceptional cleaning performance — without compromising on safety. To guarantee full quality control, we chose to produce all our detergents in-house.

Why liquid is better.
We choose to use liquid detergents to ensures superior results and safety. They dissolve completely at any water temperature, allowing for less energy consumption while enabling precise dosing for all dirt levels, avoid any residuals in the cooking chamber at the end of a washing cycle..

It’s all about chemistry!

Precision in every detail
Nothing left to chance.
From high-quality, low-impact ingredients to a liquid format that reduces waste, every element in our detergents is carefully designed to deliver maximum cleaning power with minimum environmental impact.

Triple cleaning power
A targeted formula.
We tackle dirt from the inside out with a precise blend of soda, surfactants and solvents. Chelating agents boost performance even in hard water. The result? A cooking chamber that’s not just clean — it shines.

Oven Protection
Warranty of quality.
Unlike generic detergents — which may contain incompatible components that can corrode seals and pipes — Unox detergents are developed to prevent wear and extend the life of your oven.

Quality & testing
Proven performance.
Every detergent is tested under strict protocols — first on metal plates stained with food residues, then in the cooking chamber during real wash cycles. For us, exceptional cleanliness isn’t a goal — it’s the baseline.
Unox innovation. Bottled.
Intelligent design.
Every detail of our detergent bottle is carefully engineered. Made in-house by Unox from 100% recyclable plastic using a zero-waste process, it’s ergonomic, safe, and easy to handle. An aluminium seal allows the bottle to be flipped upside down — even without the cap — ensuring complete safety at every stage of cleaning.

SAFE.Refill system.
Traditional detergent tabs can break apart and release harmful substances. With SAFE.Refill, one bottle is all you need. It slots directly into the oven’s built-in drawer, with the aluminium seal breaking only at the point of insertion — ensuring safe, contact-free refilling with minimum risk to the operator.

Small format, big impact.
Our formula is highly concentrated — 70% of it isn’t water. We’ve packaged it in compact 1-litre bottles to ensure fast global delivery while reducing shipping volume and environmental impact. More cleaning power, less waste.

Cleaning that aces every test.

Wettability testing
Bye bye dry spots.
A great detergent alone isn’t enough. You need a system that distributes it perfectly throughout the cooking chamber. That’s why we have a dedicated hydrodynamics engineering team conducting rigorous wettability and fluid dynamics tests.

Washing system & detergent
Let’s join forces.
After passing individual cleaning and wettability tests, we put detergent and washing system to the combined test. The goal? To find the perfect balance of time, temperature, chemical and mechanical action — achieving a flawless clean every time.

Shine testing
Clean that shows.
The final test maps the cooking chamber and measures its shine with state-of-the-art precision instruments after every wash. The shinier the oven, the cleaner it is — and we keep testing until the chamber gleams like a diamond.
