Spectank® – Revolutionising Commercial Kitchen Cleaning Since 1991

In 1991, the cleaning industry witnessed a groundbreaking innovation with the launch of CARBSOLVE®—the world’s first safe and effective carbon remover. Designed to tackle stubborn baked-on fats and oils, commonly known as “black carbon,” CARBSOLVE® transformed the way commercial kitchens and bakeries clean their pots, pans, grills, and equipment.

This innovation marked the birth of Spectank®, a company that has since expanded into 44 countries (as of 2025), with over 60,000 heated soak tanks operating around the clock. The Spectank® System provides a cost-effective, safe, hygienic, and environmentally friendly solution to what was once a labor-intensive and unpleasant task.

As we’ve grown, so has our commitment to innovation. Beyond our signature soak tanks, we offer a comprehensive range of cleaning solutions, including:

At Spectank®, we manage every aspect of your cleaning needs—from the entrance mat at your front door to the refuse bin at the back.

We take pride in delivering The Ultimate Cleaning Solution—And More.
