Most people these days think about the environment and protecting it in as many ways as we can, such as the campaign by a national newspaper which has resulted in a huge reduction in the number of plastic bags used by supermarkets. If you run a pub and have to clean your beer lines, you may wonder about environmentally friendly line cleaning , because many of the cleaners that are available are caustic.  However, there is one type of cleaner which is not, and that is stabilised hydrogen peroxide (the same material used to bleach hair). It makes for extremely environmentally friendly line cleaning, and in addition is fully bio-degradable and non-toxic.  Chemically known as H2O2, hydrogen peroxide uses an oxidation reaction to kill bacteria through destroying the walls on contact, and can take as little as a minute, depending on the concentration used. When it has encountered bacteria it immediately breaks down into water and oxygen, so it leaves no ha...

A beer line clean is something that is critical for the condition of the beer that finishes in the glass, and ultimately the stomach of your customer when you run any sort of pub, club, or bar. Most people in the business recommend that a proper beer line clean is undertaken once a week, although there are manufacturers of various products who state that this can be extended when using their cleaners. In general, line cleaners will be either caustic or acidic.

Acid line cleaners will dissolve beer stone. Neither type should be mixed together, and you should wear rubber gloves and eye protection. You should also stick strictly to the cleaner manufacturer's recommendations regarding concentration as it not only is safest but also is the most cost-effective method for a beer line clean.

However, there is one company that claims that it can clean your beer lines every four weeks and they will still be clean when they return for the next clean four weeks later. However, there is a proviso, and that is that this can occur "as long as the bar staff carry out proper hygiene and follow the strict instructions" that the company gives. Quite. However, the company stated that starting with a perfectly clean system was the secret to success. Carrying out a weekly clean and flush if the system was not perfectly clean in the first place would not work. It was described as being like cleaning a dirty kitchen counter with a dirty cloth: it may look clean but still not be hygienic.    One of the company's assessments of a pub that was carrying out weekly beer line ...
