The AGAR AMMODET is a highly concentrated, ammonia-boosted heavy duty detergent available in two sizes (5 L and 20 L). Designed for commercial and industrial use in Australia
Price range: $25.92 through $96.93
Price range: $25.92 through $96.93
AGAR AMMODET is formulated as a high-foaming concentrated cleaner enhanced with ammonia to deliver strong cleaning performance for a variety of surfaces. According to the manufacturer, it is “ideal for washing walls, floors, utensils, and painted surfaces” and as “a window-cleaning solution … dissolves dirt quickly and squeegees off, leaving the glass sparkling and completely streak-free.
Suitable for walls, floors, kitchen ducting, windows, mirrors, paintwork, porcelain and other surfaces that can safely be washed with water.
Not recommended for polished floors.
Works in commercial cleaning settings – e.g., hospitality venues, offices, schools, hospitals, food service, facility maintenance.
Particularly effective for cleaning glass and mirrors due to its ammonia enhancement and high-foaming detergent system.
Ammonia-boosted detergent for rapid soil attack (grease, fat films, smears, marks)
High foam stability: rapid cleaning plus effective emulsification of soils.
Works in both hot or cold water – flexible in different cleaning scenarios.
Biodegradable, phosphate-free – aligns with environmental preferences for cleaning chemicals in Australia.
High concentration reduces cost per cleaning job (economy of use)
Leaves glass surfaces streak-free when used correctly.
Product pH (undiluted): approx. 11.8.
Free ammonia approx. 1.4% in formulation.
Colour: Thick orange liquid. Odour: Ammonia.
Specific Gravity: ~1.12 (according to SDS)
Sizes: 5 L and 20 L (also 1 L in some listings)
Dilution guidance: For general cleaning, dilute 1 : 100-200 (warm water) for walls/windows. For heavy soilage: 1 : 60.
| Variant | Size | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Variant A | 5 L | Medium-size commercial sites (cafés, smaller offices) or as a supply for multiple smaller uses | Easier to handle, less storage volume |
| Variant B | 20 L | Large facilities, cleaning contractors, multiple zones, heavy usage | Bulk format gives lower cost per litre but requires drum dispensing or pump |
Both variants are the same product formulation; choice depends on usage volume, storage space and cost efficiency.
Product is classified with GHS signal word DANGER. Undiluted, it causes skin irritation and serious eye damage.
Wear protective gloves, eye/face protection when handling undiluted product.
Avoid splashes to eyes or skin. In case of contact with eyes: rinse cautiously for several minutes and remove contact lenses if present. Get medical attention. Avoid mixing with acids or aluminium or tin surfaces as product may react with incompatible materials. Ensure good ventilation when working with undiluted or high concentration.
Keep out of reach of children.
Store containers tightly closed in a well-ventilated area.
Keep away from acids and incompatible materials (zinc, tin, aluminium and their alloys) as noted in SDS.
Avoid direct sunlight and excessive heat; store in original labelled containers.
Make sure any dispensing pump or tap is compatible and clearly labelled to avoid accidental misuse.
Container disposal: If returning to AGAR for reuse or recycling is possible (especially drums).
The technical data does not explicitly list limits on water hardness. However, as a heavy duty high-foam detergent with ammonia and high alkalinity (pH ~11.8), it is well-suited for a range of water hardness conditions.
Because the cleaning action relies on strong detergency and emulsification plus ammonia, even in hard water it should perform reliably. For very hard water (>200 ppm calcium carbonate) one might consider pre-rinsing or softer dilution water to maximise foam and rinsing off greasy soils.
For optimum performance in high-hardness areas (e.g., regional Australia with hard supply water) using warm water and ensuring good rinsing will help avoid residue.
If you have very soft water, the action will be very effective; if very hard water, you may need to slightly increase concentration or contact time to maintain performance.
The product is safe for use on walls, floors (non-polished), kitchen ducting, windows, mirrors, painted surfaces and porcelain in Australian commercial settings. It is not recommended for polished floors.
Yes. Both sizes are the same product formulation; the only difference is the container size and therefore suited for different usage volumes. The 20 L brings cost efficiencies for large-scale cleaning, while the 5 L is more manageable for smaller sites.
Because the product is caustic (high pH) and contains ammonia, you must wear protective gloves and eye protection when handling undiluted material. Ensure good ventilation, avoid contact with skin and eyes, and in case of contact flush with water and get medical attention if needed. Refer to the SDS for full details.
