Keystone Cleaner Floor Neutral Dispenser 9.46 Liter/2.5 Gallon
Keystone's neutral floor cleaner comes in a 2.5 gallon jug built for continuous mopping in professional food service. It handles grease and spills without chewing up your VCT, tile, or stone floor, so you're not stripping and re-waxing every single month. One Calgary kitchen we know mops a 200-seat dining room six nights a week and stretches a single finish coat a full quarter.
Keystone Cleaner Floor Neutral Dispenser 9.46 Liter/2.5 Gallon: Professional Grade for Canadian Food Service
This is a neutral pH concentrate meant for day-in, day-out floor maintenance in commercial kitchens and dining areas. It's gentle enough for frequent use, so it won't strip the polish off your floors, and that's exactly what you want when your front of house is getting tracked with coffee, oil, and boot marks all shift. It's the workhorse jug to keep on the rack for everything from the prep line to the dishpit.
Stocked by ChickenPieces.com at our Calgary distribution hub. Delivered Canada-wide, all 10 provinces and 3 territories, in 2-5 business days.
Industry Insider Tip: Set a single dilution ratio and verify it every time you refill the mop bucket. Over-concentrated cleaner won't clean better, it just leaves a sticky film that traps dirt and goes dull. A neutral product like this one is meant to be mixed lightly, and you'll get the same consistent sheen every mop if you stick to the ratio on the label.

Operator's Tip · Amani, Bulk & Wholesale Specialist
"A client of ours, a banquet hall in Toronto with a 500 guest capacity, was hitting dull streaky floors every single morning. They were dumping way too much cleaner into the bucket. We switched them over to this neutral jug and rechecked their dilution, and within two days the floors came back clean without a streak. They've ordered it consistently since."
Most operators don't realize how much of their floor finish gets killed by the wrong daily cleaner. Once that sheen is gone, you're spending money on stripping chemicals, wax, and hours of labour to fix it. A neutral pH product keeps that from happening in the first place. If you're stocking your janitorial closer, you'll want to pair this with a proper mop and dilution control, and you can find the full line in our non food range.
Quality & Specifications
Neutral pH formula in a 2.5 gallon (9.46 L) jug with a sealable cap. It's a concentrate, so you mix it with water. The formula stays consistent batch after batch, which means you don't have to re-teach your team every time a new jug arrives. It's a straightforward design for daily floor care.
Professional Applications
Daily mop-down of dining rooms and front-of-house floors. Keeps prep area floors from getting slick with grease residue. Works on washroom tiles and grout lines. It'll clean in a moderate scrubber too for larger operations that have one. Handles the watermarks and soup spills you see in a busy service.
Storage & Handling
Store in the original jug with the cap sealed, in a clean room temperature janitorial closet. Keep it out of direct sun and don't leave it outside in Canadian winter, you don't want a frozen jug split. The shelf life is printed on the packaging. If you keep it sealed and in good conditions, it'll hold for the whole label period.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this cleaner safe on my vinyl tile floor?
Yes. The neutral pH formula is designed for VCT and other finished flooring. It won't eat into the wax coat the way a heavy alkaline cleaner will. That's why it's your go-to daily. If you've got natural stone, test a small corner first, but it's been used on that in our operations without issue.
Can I use this in an auto scrubber?
You can. This is a low-foam neutral cleaner, so it's safe for an auto scrubber on kitchen or dining floors. Use a low flow setting and stick to the dilution on the label. That way you get the clean without over-wetting the floor or making it slippery for the next service.
What dilution ratio should I use for daily mopping?
The ratio is printed on the product label and it's meant for daily mopping. Most neutral cleaners of this type are mixed on the lighter side, so you use a small volume of concentrate per bucket of warm water. Always add the cleaner to the water, not the reverse, and test a small area first if you're unsure.
Is it safe to use around food prep areas?
It's a floor cleaner, so use it on the floor. It's not a food-contact surface sanitizer. In prep kitchens and dishrooms, you'll still use a food-safe sanitizer for counters and equipment. For the floors in the walk through and the line, this is fine, just don't use it on food surfaces.
Will it make my floors slippery?
Not when it's diluted correctly. A neutral cleaner that's mixed right leaves a streak-free, dry-clean floor that's safe to walk on. If you're seeing a slippery residue, you're likely over-using the product. Make sure the mop is wrung properly and the floor air dries before you open the door to the floor.
How long does a 2.5 gallon jug last in a busy restaurant?
It depends on your square footage and how often you mop. For a standard 100 to 150 seat dining room mopped once a day, one jug will hold up about three to four weeks. For a larger venue or heavy traffic, you'll go through it faster, so it's worth buying a case and keeping the spare sealed on the shelf.
Does it work on concrete floors in the back of house?
Yes, it works on sealed concrete. For heavily stained or greasy concrete, you'll need a degreaser first. But for daily maintenance and keeping the floor from getting tacky, this neutral product holds up well. It won't etch a sealer like some acid-based products can.
Do I need special safety gear to handle this?
It's a neutral floor cleaner so it's not heavy duty, but it's a chemical, so use the basics. Wearing gloves and a pair of safety glasses when you pour it is a good idea. Read the label and the safety data sheet that comes with the shipment for the full instructions. Common sense goes a long way.
Can I use it on my walk-in cooler floor?
You can and many operators do. It works on cooler floors as long as you let it dry before the staff are back in there. A neutral cleaner is safe for that kind of cold storage. If you're dealing with a food safety inspection, check your provincial regulations and pair it with the right sanitizer.
Will it strip the finish off my floors?
That's exactly what it won't do. The whole point of a neutral cleaner is to avoid the film stripping that strong alkalis or acids cause. It leaves the wax coat alone. So your shine stays there for weeks instead of losing it in a month. You won't need to re-strip nearly as often.
You run a 60-seat cafe open 7 days a week and mop once a night. How many jugs would you go through in a month?
At a proper dilution ratio, a 60-seat floor around 1,200 square feet, mopped once per night, will typically use about one to two jugs per month. If you're mopping multiple times in a day or you're adding a floor scrubber, you'll see it go faster. Track your first two weeks of usage and you'll have your cadence locked in.
Our floors are streaky after mopping. Could the cleaner be the problem?
Streaking is usually a dilution or mop issue, not a cleaner problem. You're likely using too much product or mopping with a dirty/worn mop head. Dilute it correctly, wring the mop out well, and let it dry completely. The neutral formula doesn't leave a residue when mixed properly, so streaks signal an overuse or mop issue.
We have a 100-seat restaurant with floor tile that gets greasy fast from the grill. Is this neutral cleaner enough?
For heavy grease buildup, pair this with a kitchen degreaser. Use the degreaser for the heavy mess and this neutral product for the daily rinse and sheen. On a 100 seat floor with constant grill traffic, the neutral cleaner keeps the floor from dulling while the degreaser handles the old oil. It's the right balance for most operations.
