Tips for Keeping Your Pub Ready for the Festive Rush The festive season and New Year are some of the busiest times for pubs and bars. With customers flocking in to celebrate, the last thing you want is poor beer quality dampening their experience. Cleanliness and maintenance are key to ensuring your establishment leaves a lasting, positive impression. Why Beer Line Cleaning Matters Did you know that beer lines should be cleaned every seven days? Neglecting this vital task can lead to a build up of bacteria and contaminants that negatively impact the taste and quality of your beer. In a competitive market, where customers have countless options, a single bad experience like a pint tasting off can cost you repeat business. In fact, according to the CGA RSM Hospitality Business Tracker, Britain’s top hospitality groups generated an 8.8% year-on-year sales growth in December . This highlights the importance of optimal hygiene all year round and especially during peak periods which is why you should be using products you can trust. Signs of Poor Beer Line Hygiene If you’ve ever had a pint that tasted strange or flat, it’s often due to unclean beer lines. This not only discourages customers from returning but can also harm your pub’s reputation. On the flip side, properly maintained beer lines ensure every pint is crisp, fresh, and enjoyable, giving people a reason to come back again and again. How to Maintain Spotless Beer Lines Here’s a step-by-step guide to cleaning your beer lines effectively: Prepare the Cleaning Solution Add the recommended dose of beer line cleaner to 5 litres of cold water in a brewery-approved cleaning container. Mix thoroughly. Drain the System Empty any remaining beer from the lines and fill them with the cleaning solution. Soak and Inspect Let the solution sit for at least 30 minutes. During this time, it will absorb dirt and contaminants from the pipes. The liquid should turn green. Repeat as Needed Flush out the green solution and refill with fresh cleaner. Allow it to sit for a few minutes. If the solution remains purple, the lines are clean. If it turns green, repeat the process up to five times until the liquid stays purple. Rinse Thoroughly Once the lines are clean, flush them with plenty of cold water to remove any remaining traces of the cleaner. This step is crucial to ensure your beer retains its natural flavour. How will this increase repeat business? Taking the time to clean your beer lines regularly ensures that every pint you serve meets the high standards your customers expect. With a reputation for excellent quality, your pub will become the go-to spot for festive celebrations and beyond.

We've all been there. You're running late for work, only to be greeted by a thick layer of ice on your car windscreen. Panic suddenly hits you and you're thinking 'how on earth am I going to shift this AND make it on time for my meeting?'. You've heard it a thousand times before, never put boiling water on your car windscreen but you think to yourself 'it can't be that bad, why don't I just risk it this once'. Reality, washes over and you realise risking cracking your screen will cause a lot more problems than simply being a bit later for work. So now you’re on Plan B: frantically searching for your trusty ice scraper. Only it’s nowhere to be found. You’re kicking yourself for ignoring that great deal on scrapers at your local supermarket last week. Desperate, you grab your debit card—the next best thing, right? Fast forward 15 minutes, and you’ve finally cleared the ice…sort of. Your fingers are frozen, your debit card is chipped, and you’ve added a few new scratches to your windscreen. Not exactly the best start to your morning. Sound familiar? According to Allianz insurance ' So far in 2024, the insurer spent an average of £327 per windscreen claim, which has risen from £308 in 2022, a difference of £19.'  People are still choosing to risk damaging their vehicles for a 'quick solution' that ironically will cost you more time and money! The truth is de-icing your car doesn't have to be timely, you just need a reliable and good quality de-icer. They show results in just 30 seconds and don't add any extra scratches! Try Cleenol's de-icer and take control in the colder mornings - Autocleen | Autocleen De-Icer . It's even effective in temperatures as low as -10°c. For the best results, spray the de-icer and wipe with windscreen wipers / rubber squeegee.
