A soak tank is a large, insulated container filled with water and our proprietary pink cleaning solution, maintained at a constant 80°C.
You simply place dirty pots, pans, trays, and kitchen utensils into the tank and let them soak – the heated solution breaks down grease, carbon, and food residue without scrubbing. After soaking (typically overnight), items just need a quick rinse.
Most kitchens report saving up to 85% of their cleaning time. What used to take hours of manual scrubbing is reduced to simply placing items in the tank and retrieving them later. This typically saves 10-20 labor hours per week in a busy kitchen, allowing staff to focus on food preparation and customer service.
No.
Our cleaning solution is specially formulated to be effective yet gentle on all commercial kitchen equipment including aluminum, stainless steel, and most coated surfaces. Unlike abrasive scrubbing which can scratch and damage surfaces, our soak tanks actually extend equipment lifespan by eliminating the need for harsh scrubbing.
The tanks require a standard electrical outlet (240V) and access to a drain for monthly servicing. No permanent plumbing connections are needed. Our technicians handle all setup during installation, which typically takes less than an hour in most kitchens.
Pricing is available on request, as we tailor rental plans to each kitchen's specific needs and tank size requirements. All plans include monthly maintenance service, chemical refills, and technical support. There are no hidden costs – just one predictable monthly fee based on your customized solution.
We offer three sizes to suit different kitchen needs:

Our cleaning solution is non-caustic, biodegradable, and meets all New Zealand food safety regulations. It's specifically designed for commercial food service environments and breaks down naturally after use, making it safe for both staff and the environment.
Tanks typically require a complete drain and refill once monthly, though frequency may vary based on usage. Maintenance is fully handled by our technicians as part of your rental agreement, or you can opt for our self-service option if you prefer. We schedule technician visits to minimize disruption to your kitchen operations, typically during slower periods or off-hours.
Absolutely.
Our heated solution is specifically formulated to break down even the most stubborn carbon deposits that resist traditional cleaning methods. Many clients are amazed to see their oldest, most carbon-caked equipment restored to like-new condition after just a few soaks.
Typically, we can deliver and install your soak tank within 5-7 business days after confirming your order. For urgent situations, we offer expedited installation in as little as 48 hours for most locations across New Zealand.RetryIW
