Keystone Multi-Quat Sanitizer Concentrate 3.78 L - Commercial Grade

⚡ Quick Answer

Keystone Multi-Quat Sanitizer Liquid 3.78L (2/case) is a concentrated no-rinse sanitizer for Canadian restaurants, cafeterias, catering services, and food trucks. It kills bacteria on counters, tables, equipment, and food contact surfaces. Dilute 0.26-0.68 oz per gallon. ChickenPieces.com ships this Keystone sanitizer Canada-wide from Calgary.

This is a professional-grade quaternary ammonium sanitizer concentrate sold in cases of two 1-gallon jugs. Canadian kitchen operators pick it because it's a no-rinse formula that meets Health Canada food contact surface standards without needing a separate rinse step. You'll see it used daily in commercial kitchens from Vancouver fish houses to Montreal delis for sanitizing prep tables after service.

Keystone Sanitizer Liquid Multi-Quat 3.78 L/1 Gallon (2/Case) — Professional Grade for Canadian Food Service

This concentrated quat sanitizer is built for operators who need fast, reliable surface sanitization without rinsing. It kills a broad spectrum of bacteria on pre-cleaned food contact surfaces and non-porous hard surfaces. One case of two 1-gallon jugs makes over 900 gallons of ready-to-use sanitizer at light dilution — that's enough to keep a busy fry station compliant for months.

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: For heavy soil, pre-clean surfaces with a degreaser like our Keystone Multi-Purpose Degreaser before applying Multi-Quat for optimal kill efficacy.

Jamie's Take · Senior Operator @ ChickenPieces

"We had a client with 60 tables needing turn-and-burn sanitizing during lunch rush. One case of this concentrated multi-quat gave them 128 gallons of ready-to-use sanitizer — saved fridge space because it stores at room temp. I'd stock 2 cases for any busy kitchen running 7-day operations."

In the Canadian food service industry, you see quat sanitizers everywhere because they're stable, non-corrosive to stainless steel, and don't require rinsing. That last point saves serious time during a dinner rush — spray, let sit for the required contact time (check your local health code, typically 30 seconds to 2 minutes), and air dry. It's also safer for staff than chlorine-based alternatives because it's less irritating to skin and doesn't produce fumes. For more supplies like spray bottles and test strips, check our non food range.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to use keystone multi quat sanitizer?+
First clean the surface with a degreaser or detergent if it's soiled. Then dilute the concentrate: for light sanitizing, use 0.26 oz (about 1.5 teaspoons) per gallon of water; for heavy-duty or raw protein prep areas, use up to 0.68 oz per gallon. Mix in a clean spray bottle or bucket. Spray or wipe onto the surface, keep it wet for the contact time (check your local health code; usually 30 seconds to 2 minutes). Let it air dry — no rinsing needed. Test the strength with quat test strips. Follow Health Canada label instructions.
How to store Keystone Sanitizer Liquid Multi Quat /1 Gallon for maximum shelf life?+
Store it in the original container with the lid tight, in a cool, dry place away from sunlight, heat, and freezing. Ideal range is 10-30°C (50-86°F). Keep it away from food and drinks, and don't store near strong oxidizing agents. Under those conditions, the concentrate stays stable for 2-3 years. Once you dilute it, use the mixed solution within 24 hours — effectiveness drops after that. Label the bottle with the dilution date if you pre-mix.
Is Keystone Sanitizer Liquid Multi Quat /1 Gallon compatible with standard commercial machines?+
No — this is for manual application via spray bottle, wipe, or bucket. It's not designed for automatic dosing machines or commercial warewashers. For warewashing sanitizers, look at our Keystone Mikroklene Liquid, which works with automatic dispensing systems. For manual use, a standard trigger spray bottle or bucket-and-cloth method works fine. Mix the concentrate on-site and apply with any clean container.
What materials is Keystone Sanitizer Liquid Multi Quat /1 Gallon made of?+
Keystone Multi-Quat Sanitizer is made from quaternary ammonium compounds (quats) as the active sanitizing agent, plus water and inert ingredients including surfactants and buffering agents. It doesn't contain chlorine, bleach, or ammonia. The formula is non-corrosive to stainless steel and other common kitchen materials when used as directed. Check the product label for full ingredient disclosure and the safety data sheet for the detailed chemical composition.
How to maintain Keystone Sanitizer Liquid Multi Quat /1 Gallon for long-term use?+
Reseal the original container after each use to avoid evaporation and contamination. Keep the bottle away from extreme temperatures and humidity. Don't mix with other chemicals unless specified. Use clean utensils or pumps to dispense concentrate. Check the colour and clarity periodically — it should stay clear and light yellow; if it gets cloudy, discoloured, or develops sediment beyond normal, replace it. Test solution strength with quat test strips before daily use.
What are the dimensions and weight specifications for the Keystone Multi-Quat 3.78 L bottle?+
The bottle is a standard 1 US gallon jug — about 11 inches tall and 6.5 inches wide with a handle. Each bottle weighs roughly 8.4 pounds (3.8 kg) when full. The case has 2 bottles and weighs about 16.8 pounds (7.6 kg). Exact dimensions can vary slightly by production run. The compact footprint fits standard kitchen shelving or under counters.
How long does a case of Keystone Multi-Quat last under typical commercial use?+
A single case (2 gallons of concentrate) at the recommended light dilution (0.26 oz/gal) makes over 900 gallons of ready-to-use sanitizer. For a typical fast-casual restaurant sanitizing all food contact surfaces hourly during a 12-hour shift, a case can last 3-6 months depending on volume. High-traffic kitchens using the heavy dilution (0.68 oz/gal) on raw meat prep areas might go through a case in 2-3 months. Test with quat strips to monitor concentration and adjust usage.
What is the cleaning and maintenance procedure for the Keystone Multi-Quat bottle and dispensing equipment?+
For the concentrate bottle, just wipe the exterior with a cloth and keep the cap tight. No special maintenance needed. For spray bottles or dispensing containers used with the diluted solution, rinse them with warm water at the end of each day to prevent residue buildup. Once a week, run a diluted bleach solution (1 tsp per quart) through spray nozzles to clear clogs. Don't mix quat with bleach in the same container. Replace spray bottles every 3-6 months for a consistent spray pattern.
Can Keystone Multi-Quat be used on porous surfaces like wood cutting boards?+
It's generally safe for wood cutting boards, but it works best on non-porous surfaces. For porous wood, apply the solution and let it sit for 2 minutes, then air dry. But repeated wetting can damage wood over time — use a plastic or composite board for heavy quat sanitizing. For wood boards, rotate with a mineral oil treatment to keep them in good shape. Check with your local health department for their rules on porous surface sanitization.
Is Keystone Multi-Quat compatible with hard water conditions common in many Canadian municipalities?+
Yes, it's formulated to work in hard water up to 500 ppm hardness. But extremely hard water (over 500 ppm) can reduce efficacy by binding quats. If your water is very hard, use a water softener or test strips to confirm active quat concentration. In Calgary and other prairie cities with moderately hard water (250-400 ppm), it performs reliably. Adjust dilution based on water hardness for best results.
