Ecolab Laundry Liquid SL-2000 18.9L Heavy Duty Alkaline Break
Ecolab Laundry Liquid SL-2000 18.9L is a heavy-duty alkaline laundry break for Canadian hotels, hospitals, restaurants, and industrial laundries. It breaks down tough soils, grease, and stains on linens, uniforms, and towels. Compatible with Ecolab automatic dispensing systems for precise dosing. ChickenPieces.com ships this concentrated laundry liquid Canada-wide from Calgary.
This is a concentrated alkaline laundry break from Ecolab, built for commercial operations that deal with heavy soils every shift. Professional buyers in hotels, restaurants, and healthcare facilities across Canada pick this for one reason: it breaks down grease and set-in stains without bleaching or wrecking fabrics. It's the standard for a 200-room hotel in Calgary running 500 kg of linens per shift.
Ecolab Laundry Liquid SL-2000 18.9L/4.9 Gallon Heavy Duty Alkaline Laundry Break — Professional Grade for Canadian Food Service
This is a heavy-duty liquid formula packed with alkaline salts and surfactants to remove organic soils, grease, and protein stains from linens, towels, and uniforms. It's the first step in a multi-product wash cycle for operations that can't afford to rewash loads. The concentration is high, so you get more washes per pail than typical consumer-grade detergents.
Stocked by ChickenPieces.com at our Calgary distribution hub. Delivered Canada-wide to all 10 provinces and 3 territories in 2-5 business days.
"I talked to a hotel laundry manager last month who switched from powder to this SL-2000. They cut their labor time by about 20% thanks to the auto-dispense compatibility. We ship cases of this to hospitals and linen services regularly. Keep it above 5°C to avoid crystallization in Canadian winters."
In my experience running a commercial laundry for a chain of 12 restaurants, the biggest pain point was getting kitchen towels and chef coats clean in one pass. This SL-2000 handles that. You use it as a break before the main wash, and it lifts the heavy grease so the built detergent can finish the job. It's also compatible with most automatic dispensing systems, which saves your staff from measuring by hand. Check our non food range for dispensing accessories.
Quality & Specifications
Professional-grade concentrated liquid in an 18.9 L (4.9 gallon) plastic pail. Alkaline formulation with sodium hydroxide and surfactants, pH around 12-13. No optical brighteners or chlorine bleach. The high concentration means you only need 10-30 mL per 10 kg load — that's about 600-1200 loads per pail depending on soil level.
Professional Applications
Hotel linen and towel washing, restaurant kitchen uniform cleaning, hospital and healthcare facility laundry, industrial laundry services, and any operation dealing with heavy soil loads. Works especially well on food service aprons, chef coats, tablecloths, and terry towels stained with grease, oils, and food residue.
Storage & Handling
Store in a cool, dry place above 5°C. Keep container sealed when not in use. Avoid freezing — if it does freeze, thaw slowly at room temperature and mix before use. Shelf life is 2 years from manufacture under proper conditions. Use standard PPE like gloves when handling concentrate.
Canadian Sourcing
Manufactured by Ecolab in the USA, a trusted name in commercial cleaning for decades. Each batch is traceable and consistent. We stock it at our Calgary distribution hub and ship coast-to-coast to all 10 provinces and 3 territories, typically within 2-5 business days.
