GreenClean® Alkaline Cleaner - 5 Gallon

Foaming Detergent That Preps Surfaces for Disinfection

A disinfectant applied over a layer of grease, algae film, or organic buildup spends its contact time breaking down that layer instead of reaching the pathogens underneath. GreenClean Alkaline Cleaner is built to remove that organic load first: a foaming detergent combining Sodium Hydroxide (5%), Sodium Tripolyphosphate (3%), and a surfactant blend that lifts and emulsifies grease, oils, sugars, calcium, lime, and whitewash from hard greenhouse surfaces.

This 5 gallon container is formulated for portable or tank foamer application, producing a foam that clings to vertical surfaces like walls and glazing for extended contact time, ahead of a disinfection step such as SaniDate 5.0.

Key Features & Benefits

• Foaming detergent action — lifts organic soil, grease, oils, and sugars that shield pathogens from disinfectants.
• Built for foamer application — produces foam that clings to vertical surfaces for extended contact time.
• Removes calcium, lime, and whitewash — alkaline chemistry breaks down common greenhouse surface deposits.
• Broad surface compatibility — suited to floors, walls, glass glazing, polycarbonate, and concrete.
• First step in a two-step sanitation protocol — pairs with a disinfectant such as SaniDate 5.0 for complete cleaning and disinfection.

Who Should Use This

Greenhouse operators and facility maintenance teams performing deep cleaning ahead of a disinfection step, particularly those using foamer-based wash-down systems, are the direct fit for this cleaner.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does GreenClean Alkaline Cleaner remove?

It removes organic deposits, grease, oils, sugars, calcium, lime, and whitewash from hard surfaces including floors, walls, and greenhouse glazing. This clears the organic load that would otherwise interfere with a disinfectant.
