Botanicare Clearex Rinsing Solution - 55gal

Rinsing Solution for Flushing Excess Salt Buildup, 55gal

Repeated feedings leave fertilizer salts behind in growing media whether the medium is soil, coco, or a hydroponic substrate, and once that buildup accumulates it can block roots from taking up nutrients properly. Botanicare Clearex is a rinsing solution formulated to flush that excess salt buildup from soil, coco, and hydroponic media, helping protect root health and support consistent growth.

The 55gal drum is built for commercial operations flushing large numbers of containers on a recurring basis.

Key Features & Benefits

• Salt-flushing formula — clears accumulated fertilizer salts from soil, coco, and hydroponic media.
• Any-medium use — works across soil, coco, and hydroponic growing setups rather than one medium only.
• Root health support — reduces the salt buildup that can interfere with normal nutrient uptake.
• Broad crop use — suited for flowers, vegetables, and herbs grown in any of the compatible media.

Who Should Use Clearex

Growers who feed regularly enough to build up fertilizer salts in their medium, or who flush before harvest or between crop cycles, are the fit for Clearex. It works across soil, coco, and hydroponic setups growing flowers, vegetables, or herbs.

About Botanicare

Botanicare traces to founder Treg Bradley's original Chandler, Arizona operation, and the brand became part of the Hawthorne Gardening Company portfolio when Hawthorne Hydroponics, a Scotts Miracle-Gro subsidiary, acquired it in 2016.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Clearex do?

Clearex is a rinsing solution formulated to flush excess fertilizer salt and mineral buildup out of soil, coco, and hydroponic growing media. Removing that buildup helps protect root health and supports more consistent nutrient uptake.

When should I use Clearex?

Many growers use it between feeding cycles or before harvest, and some run it whenever visible salt buildup appears on the surface of the medium. Follow the label's dilution rate for a standard flush versus a heavier buildup.

Which growing media can I use Clearex with?

It is formulated for soil, coco, and hydroponic media alike. The medium itself does not limit whether Clearex is appropriate to use.

How is a salt flush different from just watering more?

Plain water can dilute salts temporarily, but Clearex is formulated specifically to help clear accumulated buildup rather than just add volume. That distinction matters most once buildup has already started interfering with nutrient uptake.

Will using Clearex harm my plants?

Clearex is designed as a rinsing solution for use between normal feeding cycles, not as an everyday nutrient. Follow the label's application rate and timing so the flush does not replace a feeding your plants still need.
