BuildKleen is an excellent pet friendly concrete cleaner and innovative detergent cleaning chemical that is certified as food safe, is non-hazardous and non-toxic, giving peace of mind wherever potential contact with pets or children could occur.

Pet Friendly Concrete Cleaner

An odour-free product with all-natural ingredients, remarkable safety (you need no items of PPE), and ease of use, BuildKleen is winning friends in the DIY, exterior cleaning, and construction trade and if you are looking for an environmentally friendly pet-friendly concrete cleaner, then it is a great product for you to consider.

How Does It Work?

Using nano energy, this non toxic concrete cleaner penetrates deeply and cleans algae, dirt, and stains off surfaces by breaking the surface tension holding algae and dirt to the surface – the soiling is dislodged instead of being killed as with biocides or brick acids.

Nano-energy packages in the solution can be thought of as being like piranhas in the River Amazon that are milling around and waiting to attack and tear dirt away like piranhas would feed by tearing meat off the bones of their prey.

Pet Friendly Concrete Cleaner

A pH-neutral cleaner; concrete cleaned with BuildKleen will tend to stay algae and dirt-free for longer and it is idea statues or heritage buildings with run off that is safe in drains, water courses and with no risk to pets or cleaning staff either.

The product is supplied in 5 litre containers and 20 litre jerrycans and is at ready to use dilution for maximum convenience – do not dilute this product without discussing the application that you have in mind with us.

To see the effectiveness of BuildKleen in action please watch our video below; it is important to brush and scrub the substrate vigorously with a stiff brush to achieve maximum effectiveness.

Local authorities and organisations like Historic England and the Commonwealth War Graves Commission will be pleased to hear of the steps you are taking to lower any chemical risks or removing biocides from your cleaning processes and this product will be far more pleasant to use.

More and more facilities management companies and high access cleaning contractors are looking for companies that demonstrate care for the environment and this is a cost-effective option to do just that.

How Does This Cleaner Work?

It works by using nano-size energy packages in the all-natural cleaning agent that penetrate and lift off the dirt or algae from limestone floors or tiles, penetrating much deeper than conventional cleaning agents.

Limestone Floor Cleaner Chemical

StoneKleen dislodges the soiling rather than killing it, by breaking the surface tension that holds dirt or algae embedded. Often a dirty looking floor or wall has been invaded by living microorganisms called algae which is loosened off by this chemical and ready to be washed or wiped away.

Effective And Pleasant To Use

The cleaning action of StoneKleen limestone floor cleaner is powerful yet non-corrosive, non-acid, non-toxic, and non-hazardous and this cleaner product is certified as food safe and is safe to use near a water course. It has almost no odour and is made in the UK from all-natural detergent ingredients.

Users do not need any PPE when using this product, it is actually safer than Fairy Liquid, and also ideal for outside patio and concrete cleaning – if you require professional equipment for cleaning why not browse our range on this website?

How To Use StoneKleen:

Eco-Friendly Cleaning Chemicals

Our all-natural detergent cleaner chemicals are supplied as ready-to-use aqueous cleaning solution and are highly effective cleaner chemicals that are safe for use near or in a water course or any aquatic environment.

The BoatKleen, BuildKleen, StoneKleen, RenderKleen and Marine Algae Cleaner products contain no acids, alkalis, biocides, bleach, or disinfectants and are both pH neutral and certified as food safe.

Cleaning Chemicals Safe To Use Near Watercourse

As well as being ideal for cleaning of outside paint work, cladding, concrete, pontoons, slipways, and natural stone surfaces, bridges, painted cast iron railings and so on, the chemicals have very little or no odour and users or staff do not need to wear any PPE items.

Any statues, walls, pontoons or infrastructure in docks, yacht clubs, city centres or near rivers can be cleaned successfully with BuildKleen without any worries about biocides getting into the water or needing an environmental discharge licence from Environment Agency, Natural Resources Wales or SEPA.

These astonishingly safe, stable, and effective chemicals are neither harsh nor caustic and yet use advanced formulation to deliver a substance that gets underneath soiling, dirt and algae to dislodge it by breaking the surface tension holding it in place.

Eco-Friendly Boat Cleaner

It is important to agitate the surface once you have sprayed or poured the solution on to it as this is essential in setting off the process of breaking surface tension to generate a super clean surface that will also tend to resist being re-infested with algae etc for longer.

Reach And Wash system

The AcuteClean application kits combine a series of carefully chosen commercial reach and wash systems and professional pump trolleys often used for what is commonly known as ‘softwashing’ with harsh chemicals like Sodium Hypochlorite.

However, we have optimised this equipment into a robust and focused pump system that give the ideal starter kits at a good price for applying our unique exterior cleaning eco-friendly chemicals because the application and all-important agitation can be done in one pass with the pole brush.

We have carefully researched the best of professional quality carbon fibre water-fed pole brushes, and selected a stiff brush that is ideal for render, concrete and roofs or a softer brush option for fascia’s, cladding or signs so that you have the perfect recommended system to operate for many years.

The package kit on this page uses a lithium-ion battery that will often give 12 hours of use, all fittings, hoses, water-fed brushes and a choice of 2 x 20 litre jerrycans to get you going!

The price for the complete package is £3200.00 + VAT – please see the link below:

Our softwash trolley enables you to complete more work in a day by utilising a high-quality lithium battery for 50% less battery weight and fast charging via digital charger which means you are independent of external power sources for up to 12 hours.

This is a true portable softwash system complete with Viton seals on the pump to handle the harshest of chemical like sodium hypochlorite or Algoclear and the like.

Softwash Trolley

The robust folding powder-coated handle and frame of the trolley means it is easy to store while being transported and we offer a 50-litre version as well – the pump’s flow rate is around 3.8 litres per minute and the system comes with a short hose and application wand. The digital pump controller built into our softwash trolley gives you better control over flow-rates and up to the minute information on battery charge status.

The trolley costs £1450.00 + VAT and carriage – you can buy it online by clicking the link on the button below:

Having Viton seals in the chemical resistant pump means that the softwash trolley can be used with several popular biocide chemicals like SmartSeal, AlgoClear or with sodium hypochlorite solution as used with some applications of render or cladding cleaning reliably with this trolley.

A more up-to-date solution however is to use our eco-friendly aqueous cleaning solution called RenderKleen or BuildKleen. This is an entirely environmentally friendly and odourless detergent cleaner that uses advanced formulation to break the bonds of algae and dirt to dislodge and remove the soiling rather than killing it.

This unique breakthrough British-made product comes at ready-to-use strength in 20-litre jerrycans and is both food-safe and with harmless runoff in drains or a water course.

Non Acid Concrete Cleaner

StoneKleen is our eco-friendly natural stone floor cleaner which is a pH neutral and highly effective cleaner that will not damage natural stone. It is not caustic, corrosive, or acidic and contains no biocides, acids, or bleach.

Natural Stone Floor Cleaner

Demand for environmentally-friendly cleaning chemicals for floors has led our family-run company to introduce StoneKleen, an innovative food-safe detergent-based pH-neutral natural stone floor cleaner that can make your life easier and safer.

It is available in both 5-litre and 20-litre jerry cans with quick delivery UK-wide and contributes to maintaining the natural beauty of the stone and eases cleaning tasks. You can view this link for all our stone cleaning products that can be used with power washers or the DOFF cleaning system.

How Does It Work?

It has nano-size energy packages that penetrate and dislodge dirt or algae from the sandstone, marble, limestone, or granite flooring. It does this by breaking the surface tension that holds dirt or algae embedded on the flooring with the bonus of keeping the cleaned area free of algae for longer than biocide-based chemicals.

One of our mottos is ‘Cleans Not Kills’ and this natural stone floor cleaner does this in contrast to biocide-based exterior cleaners that are harmful to nearby plants, and aquatic life and not ideal for pets. Ideal for aged limestone, granite, or sandstones as well as kitchen or other interior flooring where grease and food or drink spills are common.

Remarkably Safe And Eco-Friendly

One of few chemicals where users do not need to wear any PPE items, StoneKleen is remarkably safe and practically odourless. It is a food-safe product that is safe in drains or a water course. The floor cleaning action is powerful yet non-corrosive, non-acidic, non-toxic, and non-hazardous.

Natural Stone Floor Cleaner

A similar cleaner chemical in our range is used for cleaning marine slipways to remove algae from stone or concrete while being safe for aquatic life – one of very few that is genuinely eco-friendly to this extent.

Applying To Stone Flooring

The product comes at ready-to-use dilution – apply by pouring on or with a brush, sponge, roller, or low-pressure sprayer, saturate the surface well and then agitate with a stiff brush. If sprayed you may need more than one coat, wait 15 minutes before rinsing off with water.

If you are looking for a safe, stable, and effective patio cleaning fluid without any odours, or danger to pets or grass, and a safe run-off liquid, then our PatioKleen detergent is an ideal product for your needs.

Utilising a break-through in detergent formulation, PatioKleen is an all-natural and pH-neutral food-grade detergent that quickly cuts through layers of dirt, stains, and algae to clean concrete slabs, natural stone like Indian sandstone or granite setts and slabs.

Patio Cleaning Fluid

Quick And Safe To Use

Delivered to you at ready-to-use dilution and in either 5 litres or 20-litre jerrycans and delivered all over the UK, this patio fluid is vastly safer than many competing products and contains no acids, no biocides, no bleach, and no alkali components.

This makes it exceptionally safe to use for both you and your staff, pets, plants, grass and lawns and the run-off that may go into the drains; it is perhaps the only exterior cleaning product on the market that is safe in a water course or any aquatic environment.

What’s The Secret?

This professional patio cleaner works by using nano-energy within the detergent, these tiny agents penetrate deeply into the substrate and into every nook and cranny to break the surface tension that binds algae and dirt to the surface.

This means that the fundamental working principle has everything to do with dislodging soiling and not killing it, which is how most patio cleaners work with biocides (basically disinfectants) being used to kill the microbes whereas PatioKleen kills nothing! Hence is very safe.

This product is food-safe and is non-toxic and non-hazardous and users do not need to wear any items of PPE while handling it – a welcome change from brick acid and sodium hypochlorite for sure!

Is It Expensive – Being Entirely Safe And Green?

No, it’s not – £20.00 + VAT for 5 litres and £70.00 + VAT for 20 litres plus carriage UK-wide.

You can order PatioKleen and BuildKleen patio cleaning fluid online here – please note you can pay by card and don’t actually need to have a PayPal account.

PatioKleen 5 Litre Jerrycan: £24.00 + VAT + Carriage
BuildKleen 20 Litre Jerrycan: £80.00 + VAT + Carriage

Does It Prevent Re-Infestation?

Because the surface is genuinely super cleaned it will tend to resist algae growing back, there is no residual killer chemical left to kill future growth like with biocide-based patio cleaning fluids.

Patio Cleaning Fluid

How Long Do I Have To Wait For Results?

If applied correctly the PatioKleen product will show a good result in 15 minutes or so; you may have to apply more than one coat, especially if sprayed and in conditions where decades of soiling and algae are present.

How Is Best To Apply PatioKleen?

Brush all leaves and loose debris and scrape off moss (it won’t kill moss) and ideally apply on a dry day. If it’s hot, then wet that patio with a hose and pour the cleaner on a manageable area of say 2-3 square metres.

Brush the fluid into the patio vigorously with a soft or semi-stiff brush, this agitation helps the cleaning action, and you should start to see a slight foaming that will often be the colour of the soiling that is being removed.

Wait for 10 minutes or so, agitating the area to be cleaned and then rinse off thoroughly with garden hose or a pressure washer if you have one. Its important to rise well and therefore help the dirt and algae to be conveyed away rather than settle back. You may have to apply more than one coat – have a look at our video here:

This product has limited effectiveness against black or white spot which are spores that are rooted into the stone or concrete, you may have to use a pressure washer with a hooded rotating arm or other cleaning patio cleaning fluid products against this patio nuisance.

This product is delivered at ready-to-use strength and as it is not corrosive or caustic you do not need backpack sprayers or pumps with special Viton seals and it is far less risky to apply.
