Harris Suresan – No Rinse Sanitiser – 1Kg

You make Suresan into a solution and use it to sanitise all your equipment before use. You make Suresan from sodium percarbonate, which breaks down in water into hydrogen peroxide and sodium carbonate. The peroxide acts as a non-chlorine bleaching agent, which is highly effective for contact sanitising surfaces and equipment. It breaks down after 1 hour to the harmless residual products of oxygen and water. Because of this, no additional rinsing is required.

WHY YOU NEED IT.

All equipment that comes in contact with your beer, wine or cider must be completely clean and free from any bacteria. Just swilling with water is not sufficient and may lead to bacteria building up in your brew and in consequence, it must be discarded. Suresan is a quick and effective sanitiser that will kill the harmful bacteria of your equipment. This will make a clean environment for your brew to flourish. It only takes seconds to sanitise but can save you from spoilt brews.

HOW DO YOU USE IT?

Suresan is easy to mix up. Simply mix 1 teaspoon of Suresan to 1-2 litres of warm water. Make sure the solution comes into contact with all parts and areas that need to be sanitised. You can also use a sponge or cloth to wipe the equipment down in Suresan. Remember to use the solution within 1 hour of making it up. There may be a residual element of Sodium Carbonate that remains. Many users still prefer to give the equipment a quick rinse with cold water to remove this, even though it is harmless. This ensures that glassware, in particular, emerges sparkling clear.

ALTERNATIVES.

The sanitiser is an oxidising agent which upon dissolving in water yields hydrogen peroxide and sodium carbonate (also known as Soda Ash). Sodium Percarbonate acts as a non-chlorine bleaching agent and thus is effective at sanitising surfaces and equipment. The hydrogen peroxide produced when dissolved in water breaks down over a short period (around 1 hour) into harmless oxygen and water, so no additional rinsing is required and it is safe for the environment.

TIPS.

Use warm water to make a solution, it dissolves the Suresan faster and you will get a better result.

Great for cleaning tannin stains in cups and mugs from tea and coffee. Simply add a small amount into the cup and top up with warm water. Leave for 1 hour then empty and rinse for a stain-free mug.

Also great for cleaning bird feeders to remove any bacteria build up over the months, just let dry naturally or rinse and dry after sanitising.
