BioSafe GreenClean Acid Cleaner, 5 gal

BioSafe GreenClean Acid Cleaner — Greenhouse Surface Cleaner, 5 gal

Greenhouse surfaces accumulate multiple types of deposits over time: whitewash coatings applied for shading, biofilms from irrigation water and organic nutrient residue, calcium scale from hard water, and general organic deposits from plant material and growing media. Different types of deposits require different chemistries — alkaline cleaners handle organic matter well, while acid cleaners are effective against mineral scale and whitewash coatings that alkaline products leave behind.

BioSafe GreenClean Acid Cleaner is formulated with surfactants and organic acid detergents to remove greenhouse whitewash coatings, biofilms, organic deposits, and calcium and hard mineral deposits from most hard surfaces. It also sanitizes and disinfects treated surfaces. Available in 5 gal for growing facilities of different scales.

Key Features & Benefits

• Removes whitewash coatings — dissolves and removes whitewash coatings applied to greenhouse glazing for shading control.
• Removes biofilms and organic deposits — the surfactant and organic acid formulation breaks down biofilms and organic residue from growing media, plant material, and nutrients.
• Removes calcium and hard mineral deposits — organic acid chemistry dissolves calcium scale and hard mineral buildup from hard water on surfaces, equipment, and irrigation lines.
• Sanitizes and disinfects hard surfaces — in addition to cleaning, GreenClean Acid Cleaner sanitizes and disinfects most hard surfaces in the growing facility.
• 5 gal size — available in five gallons for use in growing facilities of different scales.

Who Should Use BioSafe GreenClean Acid Cleaner (5 gal)

Greenhouse and controlled environment growers who need to remove whitewash coatings, calcium mineral deposits, and biofilm residue from greenhouse glazing, benches, equipment, and other hard surfaces — particularly during facility cleanup between crop cycles.

GreenClean Acid Cleaner vs. Alkaline Cleaners

Alkaline cleaners like BioSafe ZeroTol are effective against bacteria, fungi, algae, and organic deposits through oxidative and alkaline chemistry. GreenClean Acid Cleaner uses a different approach — organic acid chemistry — to tackle mineral scale, hard water deposits, and whitewash coatings that alkaline products cannot fully remove. A complete facility sanitation protocol often uses both: an alkaline sanitizer to kill pathogens and an acid cleaner to remove mineral and whitewash buildup. Follow all label instructions for dilution, contact time, personal protective equipment, and rinse procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does BioSafe GreenClean Acid Cleaner remove?

GreenClean Acid Cleaner removes greenhouse whitewash coatings, biofilms, organic deposits, and calcium and hard mineral deposits from most hard surfaces. It also sanitizes and disinfects treated surfaces.

Can GreenClean Acid Cleaner remove hard water scale from irrigation lines?

GreenClean Acid Cleaner's organic acid chemistry is effective against calcium and hard mineral deposits, including those that build up in irrigation lines and drip emitters from hard water use. Follow label instructions for appropriate dilution and contact time for irrigation system flushing.

Is GreenClean Acid Cleaner safe to use on glazing?

GreenClean Acid Cleaner is designed to remove whitewash coatings from greenhouse glazing. Follow the product label for guidance on appropriate dilution, application method, and contact time for different surface types including glass and polycarbonate.

How does GreenClean Acid Cleaner differ from ZeroTol?

ZeroTol 2.0 is a peracetic acid bactericide and fungicide that kills pathogens on contact. GreenClean Acid Cleaner is an organic acid cleaner designed to remove mineral scale, whitewash, and biofilm deposits. The two products serve different roles and are often used together in a comprehensive facility sanitation protocol.

What personal protective equipment is needed?

Follow the product label and Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for required personal protective equipment when handling and applying GreenClean Acid Cleaner. Acid-based cleaners typically require gloves, eye protection, and appropriate ventilation.
