The Clean You Don’t Have Time to Think About

Drip trays beneath soda fountains and beer taps quickly collect sugar, yeast, and grime. Left alone, it becomes sticky buildup—often called “sugar snakes”—that clogs drain lines, creates odors, and turns customer-facing areas into eyesores.

Dispenser Guard makes that mess disappear. Just drop it in the tray—its water-activated, time-release formula goes to work automatically, helping clean trays and drain lines for up to 30 days.* It doesn’t dissolve, float, or require daily attention. You’ll cut cleaning time, prevent overflows, and keep odors in check—without lifting a finger.

  • Reduces odors and sticky buildup—including sugar snakes
  • Cleans automatically with every drip, no scrubbing required
  • Won’t dissolve or float—stays where you put it
  • Protects drain lines to help prevent backups and costly service calls
  • NSF-certified formula—safe for use in food and beverage environments


Drip trays fill up fast—and they’re not easy to clean. Sugar and yeast from beverages feed microbial growth in the lines, leading to sticky buildup, foul odors, and what the industry calls “sugar snakes.” Left untreated, this buildup clogs drain tubes, causes overflows, and puts your brand at risk with unsightly messes and potential health concerns.

Beverage dispenser

Dispenser Guard was made to tackle this exact problem. Its compact size and dark gray knit covering blend into the tray, staying discreet while working continuously. Every time liquid hits the strip, it activates—releasing a blend of wetting agents, surfactants, detergents, and a corrosion inhibitor. This consistent cleaning action helps prevent buildup, odors, and clogging for a full 30 days.* And unlike other products, it won’t dissolve, float, or leave residue behind.

Where It's Used

  • Fast food and quick-serve restaurants
  • Convenience stores and gas stations
  • Bars, taprooms, and breweries
  • Self-serve soda fountains and recirculation systems

If your location has high-volume beverage dispensers, Dispenser Guard helps you stay clean, compliant, and customer-ready.

Confident Clean

  • Cleans trays and drain lines every time liquid is present
  • Prevents buildup and odors with each use

Effortless to Use

  • Place one DG-DP in the tray near the drain (1 per 2 taps)
  • For recirculation units, use one DG-RU per case
  • Replace every 30 days*


Dispenser Guard is the smart, affordable way to keep drip trays, drain tubes, and recirculation units clean—without daily scrubbing. No more odors. No more sticky mess. Just long-lasting, effortless results.
