Dish-Det: Concentrated Manual Liquid Dishwashing Detergent
Dish-Det is Orlichem’s concentrated manual liquid dishwashing detergent, formulated with a blend of high-quality surfactants for high foam, fast grease removal and sparkling results in every sink load. It quickly lifts fats, sauces and baked-on food from plates, glasses, cutlery and cookware, while its pH-balanced formula is designed to be gentle on hands for frequent washing.
Trusted in food and meat processing plants, hospitals and commercial kitchens, Dish-Det now offers the same professional performance and value to households and small businesses.
Because it’s concentrated, you only need a small amount per sink:
- Each 5L bottle makes up to roughly 2,500 litres of washing solution for light soils.
- Each 25L drum up to 12,500 litres, when used as directed.
That means more cleanups, less packaging waste, and major cost savings – all with the professional results trusted by industry experts, now made accessible for every household.
Use Cases and Industries
- Everyday dishwashing: Perfect for hand-washing plates, bowls, cutlery, mugs and glasses, leaving them clean and streak-free while maintaining good foam right through the wash.
- Pots, pans & cookware: Effective on oily roasting trays, pots, pans and utensils with stubborn food residue – simply soak in warm Dish-Det solution and wash as normal.
- Kitchen surfaces & utensils: Suitable (when diluted) for wiping down counters, stove surrounds, chopping boards and utensils as part of general manual cleaning in domestic and small commercial kitchens.
- Guesthouses, canteens & small cafés: Ideal for B&Bs, school tuck shops, small restaurants and food trucks needing a reliable, economical dishwashing liquid for daily use.

Dilution Made Easy:
- Light soils (glasses, lightly soiled dishes): Add 10 ml Dish-Det to 10L water (about 1 ml per litre).

Health and Safety Instructions
Dish-Det is designed for manual dishwashing but the concentrate should still be handled with care; avoid direct contact with eyes and prolonged contact with undiluted product on skin. People with very sensitive skin may prefer to wear household gloves, especially when using stronger solutions or washing for long periods.
First Aid Measures
- Eyes: If Dish-Det gets into the eyes, rinse cautiously with water for several minutes, removing contact lenses if present and easy, and seek medical advice if irritation continues.
- Skin: Rinse with water. If irritation develops, stop use and get medical advice if needed.
- Ingestion: Rinse mouth and give a small amount of water. Do not induce vomiting. Serious harm is unlikely in small amounts, but contact a doctor or Poison Centre if any concern arises.
