How Solupak Supports Soluclean

Most people who use Soluclean products know what they do: pre-dosed, concentrated cleaning sachets that dissolve in water, cutting out single-use plastic without cutting corners on performance. What fewer people know is what goes into making them. Solupak’s expertise in water soluble manufacturing, formula development and eco-responsible packaging sits behind the entire Soluclean range so this blog dives into how that partnership works and why it matters.

How Solupak and Soluclean Work Together

Soluclean is the product range and Solupak is the manufacturer so Soluclean products are sold through Solupak’s network. That distinction is worth understanding clearly, because the relationship goes well beyond a standard supply arrangement.

Solupak’s involvement begins at the formula development stage. Before a Soluclean product reaches a customer, Solupak’s team has worked through the chemistry, carried out R&D and testing and established that the formula performs to the required standard in a water soluble sachet or pod format. Getting a concentrated cleaning formula to work consistently when dissolved in water, without compromising on performance, requires a level of formulation knowledge that most packaging manufacturers simply don’t have. Solupak has spent over 25 years building that capability and it’s what makes the Soluclean range possible.

Once the formula is confirmed, Solupak manufactures the Soluclean product, packages it into water soluble sachets or water soluble pods and then supplies it to Solupak’s network. The entire process from concept to finished product sits within Solupak’s operation, which gives Soluclean a single, accountable manufacturing partner with the capacity and accreditation to deliver consistently at scale.

How Water Soluble Technology Works and What It Means for Packaging

Water soluble technology works by removing the water from a cleaning formula entirely. A conventional cleaning product is mostly water with active ingredients suspended in it, whereas a water soluble sachet contains only the concentrated active ingredients, with the water added by the user at the point of use. That single change has significant consequences for everything from the cost of shipping to the volume of packaging required.

What Dissolves and What Doesn’t

This is where the distinction matters. The sachet itself is the primary packaging and it dissolves mostly when it comes into contact with water, leaving nothing behind. The outer container that holds the sachets between uses is reusable plastic, designed to be refilled rather than thrown away after each use. The eco-responsible case for water soluble packaging is about eliminating the repeated single-use plastic bottles that conventional cleaning products require.

What Soluclean Washroom Products Are Available and Who Are They For

The washroom range covers the full cleaning requirement for professional environments where hygiene standards are non-negotiable. Each product is a pre-dosed water soluble sachet, manufactured and packaged by Solupak and concentrated to deliver consistent results without waste or guesswork.

The Biological Washroom Cleaner uses biological enzymes to break down organic matter and eliminate odours, making it well suited to high-use facilities where conventional cleaners mask rather than address the underlying problem. The Daily Toilet Cleaner is formulated for regular use across washroom facilities in offices, schools and leisure venues, while the Limescale Remover addresses build-up at source rather than providing a temporary fix.

The Washroom Disinfectant and Washroom Floor Cleaner complete the core washroom range, giving facilities management teams a consistent, compliant cleaning solution across every surface in the room. All products in this category are made in the UK, certified by The Vegan Society, Cruelty Free International certified and free from palm oil, VOCs, phosphates and EDTA.

Which Soluclean Products Cover Hard Surfaces and Floor Cleaning

For commercial environments where floor area is large or contamination is more demanding, the Soluclean hard surface and floor cleaning range gives facilities management and catering teams the products they need without the weight, waste, or storage requirements of conventional liquid cleaners.

Kitchen and Catering Environments

The Heavy Duty Degreaser is built for the kind of grease build-up that daily kitchen use creates and it’s suitable for use on cookers, hoods, fryers and other commercial appliances where conventional degreasers often require a pre-clean. The Degreaser Floor Cleaner handles high-traffic kitchen floor areas, with a fragrance-free version available for environments where scent is a consideration. Because each product is a concentrated water soluble sachet, the amount of product used per clean is consistent, which reduces both waste and cost over time.

Large Floor Areas and Scrubber Dryer Use

The Neutral Scrubber Drier Cleaner and Heavy Duty Scrubber Drier are formulated specifically for use with scrubber dryer machines, covering large floor areas in warehouses, leisure facilities, hospitals and retail environments. The Disinfectant Floor Cleaner adds a layer of infection control to floor cleaning, which is particularly relevant in healthcare and food service settings where surface contamination is a risk.

How Soluclean Supports Infection Control in Healthcare and Catering

Two products in the Soluclean range are particularly relevant for sectors where compliance standards are defined and audited.

The Disinfectant is independently tested to EN 13697 and conforms to BSEN 1276 and PAS 2424 Bacteriostatic. It’s suitable for all hard sealed surfaces including stainless steel, vinyl, ceramic, plastic and treated wood, with no pre-clean required, cleaning and disinfecting in a single step. That matters in environments where cleaning time is limited and thoroughness is essential.

The Anti-Viral Cleaner carries EN 14476 A+2019 certification, conforms to EN 13697 and EN 1276 and is approved for use on food contact surfaces. It’s suitable for daily use to prevent the spread of infection and the fragrance-free formulation makes it appropriate for environments where scent sensitivity is a factor. These certifications are the direct result of Solupak’s formula development process and getting a concentrated water soluble sachet to meet those testing standards requires the same rigour as any conventional cleaning product (in some respects more, given the additional complexity of the delivery format).

What Solupak’s Manufacturing Role Involves Behind the Soluclean Range

Solupak’s manufacturing operation is what makes the Soluclean range scalable, consistent and credible. The facility in Yorkshire has the capacity to manufacture 80,000 water soluble sachets per shift, which is the kind of output that supports a brand with ambitions to supply at a national and international level.

Our accreditations underpin the quality of that output: ISO 9001 covers quality management, ISO 45001 covers occupational health and safety and ISO 14001 covers environmental management. Together they confirm our operation meets the standards expected of a manufacturer supplying products into regulated sectors including healthcare, food service and facilities management.

Beyond standard manufacturing, Solupak also offers bespoke solutions for clients with specific formula, packaging, or volume requirements. Rather than being limited to an existing product catalogue, that capability gives Soluclean access to a manufacturer that can develop to brief as the range grows and new sectors or applications come into scope.

How Water Soluble Packaging Reduces Environmental Impact

The environmental case for water soluble technology starts with what gets removed from the supply chain. Conventional liquid cleaning products are mostly water, which means manufacturers are producing, bottling and shipping a product that is predominantly a substance the customer already has on tap. Removing water from the formula reduces the weight and volume of every unit shipped, which cuts the number of deliveries required and the carbon associated with them.

The role of biodegradable packaging in sustainable cleaning solutions and the environmental impact of traditional cleaning products both set out the wider context for why this approach to water soluble manufacturing matters and how it compares to what the cleaning industry has historically relied on. For businesses with sustainability targets to meet, that comparison is increasingly relevant when specifying cleaning products.

How Solupak Supports Soluclean’s Global Distribution

Solupak already distributes water soluble products across the UK, Europe, the Far East and Australasia. That geographic reach gives Soluclean a credible path to becoming a worldwide supplier of eco-responsible cleaning products, backed by a manufacturing partner with the logistics and supply chain infrastructure already in place to support it.

Reaching the billion sachet milestone confirmed the scale at which Solupak can manufacture and Solupak’s international expansion demonstrated that global distribution isn’t an ambition in progress but an established part of how the business operates. This means Solupak can grow with the Soluclean range as demand increases and new markets open up, without the capacity constraints that would otherwise limit that growth.

Soluclean’s range of professional cleaning products exists because of what Solupak contributes at every stage: formula development, testing, water soluble manufacturing and eco-responsible water soluble packaging that changes how cleaning products are produced, shipped and used. From washroom and infection control products through to heavy-duty floor cleaners for large commercial environments, every water soluble sachet and water soluble pod in the range is the result of a partnership built on over 25 years of expertise in water soluble technology.

Whether you’re looking to develop a new product range or scale an existing one, Solupak can support your brand the same way it supports the Soluclean range, with the manufacturing capability, technical expertise and water soluble packaging to take a concept from formula to finished product.
