Harris SureSan No Rinse Sanitiser – 50g

Suresan is a granular sanitiser that you dissolve in water to sanitise all your equipment before use.

Suresan contains sodium percarbonate as its active ingredient. This breaks down to Hydrogen Peroxide and Sodium Carbonate when dissolved in water. 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. Hence 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, making 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 Suresan?

Suresan is easy to mix up. Simply mix 1 teaspoon of Suresan to 1-2 litres of warm water. Make sure the solution touches all parts and areas you want to sanitise. 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. Some 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.

Suresan is a no-rinse sanitiser, ideal for equipment that isn’t heavily stained or soiled. If you have a heavy stained piece of equipment or one that has not been used for a very long time, we recommend a steriliser like Steri-clean. This formula removes stains more effectively but requires thorough rinsing several times with cold running water to remove all traces before using the equipment.

Technical Data

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. When you dissolve it in water, Suresan releases hydrogen peroxide, which breaks down within about an hour into harmless oxygen and water, so you don’t need to rinse, and it’s safe for the environment.

Tips for using Suresan.

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.
