GreenClean® Acid Cleaner - 5 Gallon

GreenClean Acid Cleaner, 5 Gallon — Mineral Deposit & Scale Remover

Hard water leaves calcium, bicarbonate, and rust deposits on greenhouse glazing and inside irrigation piping that a standard detergent cannot touch, since those are mineral scale problems rather than organic soil. GreenClean Acid Cleaner is built specifically for that job, combining sulfuric acid with non-foaming surfactants to break down calcium, rust, bicarbonate buildup, whitewash coatings, and oxide scale, all without emitting fumes or odor despite its mineral-acid base.

This 5 Gallon container runs non-foaming, making it a fit for cleaning inside piping and drip irrigation lines where foam would be counterproductive, and works as the first half of a two-step protocol completed by ZeroTol 2.0 or SaniDate 5.0.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does GreenClean Acid Cleaner remove?

It removes calcium and other hard-water mineral deposits, bicarbonate, iron rust, whitewash coatings, scale, and oxide buildup from greenhouse structures, equipment, and irrigation piping. It is a cleaning product rather than a disinfectant.

How do I apply this safely?

This product carries a Danger signal word and contains sulfuric acid, so wear the chemical-resistant gloves, eye protection, and protective clothing called for on the label. Always read all label directions before use.

Does this product create fumes during use?

No, it is formulated to be odorless despite containing mineral acids, which improves working conditions during application. Standard chemical-handling PPE is still required regardless of odor.

What is the recommended sanitation sequence with this cleaner?

Apply GreenClean Acid Cleaner first to remove mineral and organic deposits, then follow with ZeroTol 2.0 or SaniDate 5.0 for disinfection. This two-step sequence removes the scale a disinfectant alone would not address.
