Description

Benz Softwash Bio Cleanze – This fully biodegradable soft wash chemical is an effective biocide and our best seller in the UK and Ireland.

We are official distributors of Benz Softwash chemicals and the sole stockists for Northern Ireland.

Bio Cleanze is the strongest government approved softwash biocide of its type available in the UK and Ireland – with a full 50% active ingredient (DDAC).

Bio Cleanze features:

• The powerful active ingredient is a similar purity to that used to disinfect hospitals
• Can be used in conjunction with power washing as a post-treatment, or as a standalone soft wash solution
• Has a “residual biocide” ability to prevent re-colonisation of porous surfaces
• Fully biodegradable
• Does not bio-accumulate
• PH neutral, so safe for materials and gentle on people
• Controls algae, lichen, fungi, moss, and mould
• Non-bleaching (contains no bleach or acids)
• Not affected by hard or mineralised water
• Harmless to all known building materials
• Can be used as a pre-painting primer to kill algae and mould spores
• Helps control wet and dry rot on wooden buildings, sheds, fences, and decking
• Soaks deep into porous surfaces – killing the micro-organisms responsible for unsightly discolouring, and potential structural damage – because of its low surface tension, which makes it an excellent “wetting agent”
• Up to 8x stronger than biocides sold to the general public
• Safe for children and pets once a treated surface is completely dry (use max 50:1 dilution to treat any surface children and animals may walk or play on)

 

Dilution ratios:

• 1 Litre of neat Bio Cleanze makes 40 litres of mix for winter work (40:1) and 50 litres in the summer (50:1).
• 1 Litre of mix will cover approximately 4 square metres. Therefore, you can expect 40 – 50 litres of mix to cover 160 – 200 square metres.

Bio Cleanze application guidance:

• It’s best not to treat a surface if rain is likely within 8 hours of application.
• In extreme heat, it is often a good idea to lightly wet the surface to cool it down before applying Bio Cleanze (to minimise “boil off”).
• Best applied in temperatures above 8°C (results can be inconsistent below this point).
• Dilution ratios – Can be applied from 25:1 to 50:1 depending on the degree of colonisation. Do not apply at higher than 50:1 if children and animals will walk on the surface, and allow the surface to dry completely, and without pooling, before they are allowed access.
• On muddy or otherwise dirty surfaces (e.g. paths, patios, and drives) hose and brush to remove loose material. Then brush Bio Cleanze in to take advantage of its surfactant qualities.

 

Quick tips:

Surfaces vary in porosity – including concrete slabbed paths and patios, brickwork, block drives, wooden sheds, and fences – and therefore the cleaning effect of a Bio Cleanze soft wash treatment may also vary. This can be especially true for concrete paths and patios that have had their surface layer damaged by high pressure jet washing.

On areas of heavy algae growth, particularly on very porous surfaces when applied at 50:1:

a) A second treatment after two weeks may be needed
b) Using a soft brush to work Bio Cleanze into the algae will speed up the cleaning process and make the treatment more effective

Storage:

• For best results store at approximately 16 – 20°C (room temperature). Crystallisation may occur if stored for prolonged periods under 10°C but this is usually reversible when warmed.
  Always store Bio Cleanze in the original containers.
• Shelf-life is 2 years or more after manufacturing date, when stored in unopened original containers.
