Ice N Clean is a concentrated cleaner and disinfectant formulated specifically for commercial ice machines. Its acidic formula targets the limescale deposits that build up on ice-making components over time — a common issue in areas with moderately hard to very hard water supplies, which covers much of the UK.

Left untreated, limescale accumulation restricts water flow, reduces ice production efficiency, and places unnecessary strain on components. Alongside limescale, the warm, damp internal environment of an ice machine encourages the growth of slime-forming bacteria and biofilm, which can affect both the taste and odour of the ice produced. Regular treatment with a purpose-made cleaner addresses both problems in a single process.

Using Ice N Clean as part of a routine maintenance schedule helps to:

• Break down and remove heavy limescale deposits from ice-making elements and water circuits
• Eliminate slime and biofilm that can taint ice quality
• Reduce the risk of component jams and mechanical failures caused by scale build-up
• Help maintain consistent ice output through a clean, unobstructed water system
• Support compliance with food safety hygiene requirements for ice-contact surfaces

The 5-litre format is practical for sites running one or more ice machines and is appropriate for facilities carrying out routine cleans at the recommended intervals. Always follow the dilution and contact time guidance on the label, and ensure the machine is thoroughly flushed before returning to service — ice produced immediately after cleaning must be discarded.

If you are unsure about cleaning frequency for your specific machine type or water hardness, or need advice on a full ice machine maintenance programme, the team is happy to help.

Advanced Gel IMC is a concentrated cleaning solution formulated specifically for commercial ice machines. Each 490ml bottle dilutes to produce a ready-to-use cleaning solution, making it a practical and economical choice for regular maintenance programmes in commercial kitchens, bars, and food service environments.

Ice machines are prone to slime build-up and limescale deposits, both of which affect hygiene and, over time, ice quality and machine efficiency. This cleaner is designed to tackle both issues, helping operators maintain machines in line with food safety requirements and manufacturer servicing recommendations.

Regular use offers several practical advantages in a working kitchen environment:

• Removes biofilm and slime deposits that accumulate inside ice-making components
• Dissolves limescale build-up that can affect ice quality and machine output
• Helps maintain hygiene standards between scheduled engineer visits
• Concentrated formula reduces storage requirements compared to ready-mixed alternatives
• Suitable for routine cleaning as part of a structured maintenance schedule

This type of cleaner is appropriate for most commercial ice machines where the manufacturer recommends a gel-format descaler and sanitiser. It is worth confirming compatibility with your specific machine before first use, particularly on older or less common models.

If you are unsure about the right cleaning regime for your ice machine, or whether this product is suitable for your equipment, the team is happy to advise.

This ready-to-use condenser cleaner from Advanced Engineering is a straightforward maintenance product designed for commercial refrigeration units and air conditioning systems. It comes pre-diluted in a one-litre bottle, ready to apply directly to condenser coils without any mixing or measuring.

In a busy commercial kitchen, condenser coils accumulate grease, dust, and debris over time. This build-up restricts airflow through the coil and reduces the unit's ability to dissipate heat effectively. Left unaddressed, it forces the compressor to work harder, increases energy consumption, and shortens equipment life. Regular cleaning with a product like this helps keep the system running as it should.

Key practical benefits include:

• No dilution required — reduces risk of incorrect mixing by staff
• Helps restore airflow through blocked or partially blocked coils
• Supports more efficient heat transfer, which can reduce running costs
• Suitable for routine maintenance schedules across multiple units
• Simple application process accessible to non-technical kitchen staff

This is a topical cleaner applied externally to condenser coils. It is not a refrigerant treatment or internal system cleaner. Standard precautions apply — isolate the unit before cleaning and allow appropriate dwell and rinse time as directed on the product label. It is well suited to use on upright refrigerators, under-counter units, blast chillers, and air conditioning condensers found in commercial premises.

For kitchens running multiple refrigeration units or undertaking a planned maintenance programme, keeping a small stock on hand makes it easier to maintain a regular cleaning schedule without waiting on restocking. If you are unsure which cleaner is appropriate for a specific unit or system type, the team is happy to help you choose correctly.
