AGAR CitraStar 5L Powerful – Natural Citrus Food-Safe Sanitiser

AGAR CitraStar – 5L is a natural food-grade sanitiser developed for use in commercial kitchens and food processing areas. It is formulated using bioflavonoid extracts derived from citrus fruit, which provide natural antibacterial properties capable of eliminating bacteria on hard surfaces.

In busy hospitality environments such as restaurants, cafés and catering facilities, maintaining hygienic surfaces is essential for food safety compliance. CitraStar helps ensure benches, utensils, equipment and floors remain hygienically clean after regular cleaning procedures.

One of the key advantages of this sanitiser is its ability to remain effective even at low temperatures. This makes it particularly suitable for cool rooms, refrigerated areas and freezer environments, where many sanitisers lose effectiveness.

Because the formula is mild and non-hazardous, it is also suitable for use in sensitive environments including childcare centres, nursing homes and healthcare facilities where safe sanitation is essential.

The 5-litre professional pack provides an efficient sanitising solution for hospitality businesses, commercial kitchens and food manufacturing operations across Australia.
