Stearns Water Flakes Neutral Floor Cleaner – 400 x 0.5 oz Water-Soluble Packets, Makes 1,200 Gallons

Stearns Water Flakes Neutral Floor Cleaner – 400 x 0.5 oz Water-Soluble Packets

Stearns Water Flakes Neutral Floor Cleaner #2702235 provides commercial and institutional facilities with an efficient portion-control system for routine hard floor maintenance. Each case contains 400 individual 0.5 oz water-soluble packets, with each packet making 3 gallons of properly diluted cleaning solution when prepared according to the manufacturer's directions.

That concentrated format gives a single case a total potential yield of up to 1,200 gallons of prepared floor cleaner. Instead of purchasing, transporting, and storing large quantities of diluted ready-to-use product, facilities can keep the compact concentrated packets on hand and add water at the point of use.

The neutral cleaning formula is designed for routine maintenance on most floors and removes soil from heavy-traffic areas while helping protect floor finish. It can be used on a variety of commercial flooring surfaces including terrazzo, marble, slate, vinyl, asphalt, ceramic tile, and quarry tile when used according to manufacturer directions.

The premeasured Water Flakes system also helps eliminate one of the most common problems associated with concentrated cleaning chemicals: inconsistent dilution. Employees simply use one packet for every 3 gallons of water, eliminating manual chemical measuring and helping provide the same dilution from one batch, employee, shift, or location to the next.

Why Choose Premeasured Neutral Floor Cleaner?

Using too much concentrated floor cleaner doesn't necessarily produce a cleaner floor. Overuse can waste chemical and may leave unnecessary residue behind. Premeasured packets provide the correct amount of concentrate for the specified volume of water, helping facilities control chemical consumption while simplifying employee training and daily cleaning procedures.

For organizations maintaining multiple buildings or large amounts of floor space, the packet system can also simplify inventory planning. Because each packet produces 3 gallons, facility managers can easily estimate how much prepared solution remains available based on the number of packets in inventory.

Concentrated Cleaning Without the Measuring

Stearns Water Flakes combines the storage and transportation advantages of concentrated cleaning chemicals with the simplicity of a premeasured portion-control system. Each 0.5 oz packet contains the concentrate needed to prepare 3 gallons of neutral floor cleaning solution according to manufacturer directions.

Why Ship and Store Water When You Can Add It On Site?

A case of 400 Water Flakes packets can produce up to 1,200 gallons of prepared floor cleaner, yet the product is shipped and stored as concentrated 0.5 oz packets. Because water is added at the point of use, facilities avoid purchasing and storing the equivalent volume as pre-diluted ready-to-use cleaner.

This concentrated approach can significantly reduce the physical volume of product that must move through the supply chain and be stored within a facility. Depending on purchasing and freight arrangements, concentrated packets may also help reduce shipping requirements compared with ordering equivalent quantities of ready-to-use liquid cleaner.

Control Chemical Usage with Every Packet

Each packet provides a premeasured amount of concentrate for 3 gallons of water. This makes it easier to control chemical consumption and reduces the possibility of employees pouring more concentrate than necessary into buckets, mop tanks, or other cleaning solution containers.

Easy Inventory Planning

The fixed 3-gallon yield per packet also makes inventory easier to understand. For example, 100 remaining packets represent up to 300 gallons of prepared cleaning solution, while a full 400-packet case represents up to 1,200 gallons. Facility managers can quickly estimate available cleaning capacity simply by tracking the number of packets remaining.

Ideal for Routine Floor Maintenance

Water Flakes Neutral Floor Cleaner is well suited for frequent maintenance of commercial floors, including areas that experience significant daily foot traffic. Its neutral cleaning formula helps remove routine soil without unnecessarily attacking floor finish, making it a practical choice for ongoing maintenance programs.

High-Traffic Floor Cleaning

Entrances, corridors, classrooms, offices, retail aisles, dining areas, and other frequently traveled spaces can accumulate soil quickly throughout the day. Stearns Water Flakes Neutral Floor Cleaner is designed to remove soil from these high-traffic areas while supporting the facility's regular floor maintenance program.

Excellent for Multi-Building Operations

The premeasured packet format is especially convenient for organizations maintaining multiple buildings, floors, departments, or custodial closets. Instead of distributing large containers of concentrated liquid cleaner, facilities can supply individual packets where cleaning solution needs to be prepared.

Because every packet makes 3 gallons, the same dilution procedure can be used throughout an organization. This helps standardize chemical preparation across employees, shifts, buildings, and cleaning teams.

Ideal for Commercial Cleaning Contractors

Commercial cleaning contractors can also benefit from the compact packet format. Premeasured packets are easy to transport between customer locations and eliminate the need for employees to manually measure concentrated floor cleaner at each job site. The predictable 3-gallon yield per packet also makes it easier to plan chemical requirements for individual accounts.
