Whether you’re preparing fresh salmon, marinating chicken, chopping vegetables, or quickly rinsing cutting boards and knives – the kitchen water place can easily turn into a breeding ground for germs and bacteria. But who wants to think about hygiene risks when cooking dinner for family and friends? That’s why it’s all the more important that maintaining cleanliness at the kitchen water place feels effortless and natural.

Our holistic hygiene system spans sinks, taps, drink.systems, waste solutions, and accessories. It is designed down to the smallest detail to help you maintain the highest standards of hygiene in your kitchen with ease.

Certified: All BLANCO products meet the highest standards – from certified materials that come into contact with drinking water to independent quality checks that go beyond legal requirements.

Thought through: The design of our taps and sinks is precisely engineered to prevent dead zones and bacterial growth. Smooth transitions, rounded edges, and continuous water flow ensure that no water stagnates. Taps with pull-out sprays make rinsing effortless, while sinks and drain fittings are shaped for fast, residue-free drainage. Non-porous, easy-care surfaces minimise bacterial adhesion and allow for effortless cleaning across all elements of your BLANCO kitchen water place.

With BLANCO’s filtration systems, water gains a new quality as an essential companion for mindful living: reduced in unwanted substances and odours, rich in its natural taste.

Hands-free: Sensor taps operate completely hands-free, reducing the spread of germs from hand to tap – and back again. This prevents dirt and biofilm from building up and keeps the sink area noticeably cleaner.

Kept apart: All our drink.system taps that provide filtered, chilled, boiling, or sparkling water feature separate waterways and outlets. This way refined water is isolated from regular tap water – preserving its taste while enhancing hygiene.

Sealed and safe: BLANCO water filters are certified for maximum hygiene and tailored to different water conditions and personal preferences. Each filter features a dedicated safety cap, and the package carries the BLANCO Hygiene Seal. Drink.systems with carbonation function are CO₂-flooded before shipping for guaranteed hygiene.

99.9% purity: The natural spring carbon dioxide (CO₂) used in the BLANCO drink.systems with a carbonation function is specially certified for food and beverage use (known as E290). Sourced from natural springs, it guarantees a minimum gas purity of 99.9% in every CO₂ cylinder – for consistently high quality.

Up-to-date: When a filter replacement for your drink.system becomes necessary, the system notifies you in good time, giving you peace of mind while enabling you to maintain fresh water straight from your tap.

aDedicated care: To help you maintain optimal hygiene at your kitchen water place, BLANCO offers dedicated care products that are perfectly matched to our materials and product surfaces. This ranges from quick everyday cleaning to thorough deep cleaning, including special cleaning tabs for the drink.systems.

A clean and hygienic kitchen water place is essential for food safety and everyday well-being. With a few simple habits, you can keep your sink area fresh, hygienic, and pleasant to use.

Keep the tap clean: The tap and its control levers are frequently touched during food preparation.

Regularly wipe them with a mild detergent or vinegar solution. This prevents limescale build-up and removes invisible residues from hands and splashes.

Maintain dryness: A dry sink is essential for food safety, as moisture encourages bacteria and mould. Keep the sink area well ventilated and dry all surfaces after use.

Rinse the sink after use: After washing fruit, vegetables, or dishes, rinse the sink with hot water to remove any food residues. Dry with a soft cloth to prevent water marks.

Don’t forget the drain: Food scraps and fats can cause unpleasant odours and bacterial growth. Clean the strainer regularly and pour hot water down the drain once a week to keep it clear.

Fresh cloths, always: Your dishcloth or sponge is on of the biggest carriers of germs in the kitchen. Change them frequently, ideally every day. You can simply wash them at 60 °C in the washing machine to eliminate bacteria.

Separate cleaning zones: Use different cloths or brushes for dishes, worktops, and the sink. Likewise, use separate cutting boards and knives for vegetables and meat. This helps prevent cross-contamination between food preparation and cleaning areas.

Handle filtered water with care: If you use a BLANCO drink.system, follow the filter replacement indication and wipe the spout regularly. This ensures consistently fresh, great-tasting water.
