Cleaning agents
Incorrect cleaning agents can affect the health of humans as well as animals and should always be chosen wisely.
The goal of sustainable cleaning is to achieve a clean cleaning result with as little impact as possible on humans, animals, cleaning personnel and the environment.
What can you do?
Dosage;
When it comes to cleaning, “a lot helps a lot” does not apply. Always adhere to the recommended dosage of our cleaning agents.
Too much cleaning agent usually causes a worse result, worsens the indoor air, leads to higher costs and harms the environment.
Number of cleaning agents;
Pay attention to which cleaning agents you have in use.
Keep your product range as small as possible to avoid application errors and save costs.
In addition, you should only use products such as Siffolex (drain cleaner) and disinfectants when absolutely necessary.
Furthermore, you should pay attention to the highest possible “biodegradability” and that cleaning agents are free of palm oil.
What do we do at Benke?
Cleaning agents;
Our philosophy is to offer guaranteed high quality and to treat our environment as gently as possible.
That is why we produce all our cleaning chemicals 100% in Switzerland.
High quality and carefully selected raw materials, short transport routes and Swiss logisticians.
With the Benke “ECOline” we have created a perfect balance of efficiency and sustainability.
Natural acids, sustainable raw materials and quality tested for biodegradability by EMPA (Switzerland).
In addition, we offer a range of different dosing aids so that you always use the perfect amount of detergent.
Because, the dosage is another important component. Most of the time a small amount is enough because our cleaning agents are highly efficient.

Packaging
Here, too, we go one step further. All of the canisters and bottles for our cleaning agents are manufactured 100% in Switzerland.
This in turn ensures short transport distances and guarantees high quality. The unique shape of our round bottle (1 liter) was specially designed by us to ensure a high degree of robustness and ease of use.
What is our round bottle made of?
Benke round bottle is made of HD-PE (hard polyethylene), which is non-toxic and does not contain toxic additives. This plastic is mostly used in the food sector and when cleaning agents are used. In addition, polyethylene is BPA free and has a good ecological balance.
Disposal;
The disposal is done with the normal household waste (thermal recycling) or you ask the collection yard in your area for HD-PE collection. The incineration residues e.g. dioxins from the small amounts of additives are lower than for example diesel, fuel oil, wood, paper or cardboard. Exceptions are bottles with cleaning agent still present. Please observe the disposal regulations and laws at your place of residence.
Manufacture;
Our bottles are made from 100% recycled material and manufactured in Switzerland.
Textiles;
Cleaning cloths and mop covers are essential for successful cleaning.
That’s why it’s even more important to find the right product for your use.
Textiles simplify cleaning, have a very long shelf life and can help reduce cleaning agents.
What do we do at Benke?
Through direct access to production facilities worldwide, we can track quality and work processes.
In a lively exchange with our long-standing partners, we try to act sustainably whenever possible and to burden the environment as little as possible.
Microfiber;
Microfiber is one of the most popular and widely used products in the cleaning industry.
These absorb more dirt than other fibers and are very robust with minimal weight.
With Benke’s microfiber products, you can expect tremendously durable quality. Due to this durability and highly efficient cleaning power, you sustainably protect the environment. Our microfiber products can be washed up to 90°, but we recommend 40° – 60° in order to prolong their life. For every use we have the right product for you.
Cotton;
In the cotton range we have a tea towel, a so-called “pit cloth” a handy cloth made of cotton. It is enormously robust and absorbs moisture well. In addition, we have 2 cotton mop covers which have the same properties. Cotton is a natural product which is well suited for cleaning and is durable as a tea towel and mop in this quality.
Bamboo – natural fiber;
To complete our range in the “ECOline” we have a “bamboo cloth” in the range. 100% natural fibers and Oeko-Tex certified. Due to the high proportion of bamboo, which is a rapidly renewable raw material, we protect the environment sustainably. In addition, the bamboo plant contains substances which have a natural antibacterial effect. The very high density of bamboo makes the Benke bamboo cloth very robust and at the same time absorbs more moisture and dirt than conventional “bamboo cloths”.
