The development of today's technologies allows for the development of newer, innovative washing techniques used in industry and gastronomy. One of them is foam washing, especially useful for washing vertical surfaces. This method is becoming more and more popular due to its effectiveness.
What is foam washing?
Foam washing involves spreading the cleaning agent on the washed surface in the form of foam. Then it is rinsed with a stream of water. Foam is produced by strong aeration of the cleaning agent solution. The foam bubbles burst on the dirty surface, causing the contamination to be moistened with the cleaning agent and finally removed.
This method works very well when washing vertical surfaces, such as: walls of production rooms, walls of food industry rooms, sheet and metal facades, means of transport or external surfaces of machines and devices. Foam washing will also work well when washing ceilings in cold stores and processing halls.
The foam should be stable and adhere well to the surface. Then it stays on the vertical surface for a very long time. Non-foamed liquid drains quickly from such surfaces. In this way, during foam washing, the surface is covered with the preparation for a longer time. This means that the active substances contained in it, emulsifying grease and dirt, will remain in contact with the cleaned surface for a very long time. They have enough time to react with the contaminants, wet the surface, penetrate under the contaminants and remove them effectively. Skillful use of the washer and foam allows you to reach hard-to-reach places. This is a very convenient, fast, simple and effective washing method.
How to carry out the foam washing process?
A properly carried out foam washing process should start by rinsing the washed surface with water to remove thick and easily removable dirt. If these are contaminants with a large amount of fat, it is best to use water at a higher temperature, this will make it easier to remove the greasy coatings. Then, using a foam generator, we apply the foamed cleaning preparation to the wall from the bottom up and leave it for about 10 minutes, giving the product time to work. After this time, rinse the foam with water from top to bottom.
Clinex 4DIRT Foam – foam washing product
A product recommended for foam cleaning and safe for all types of surfaces is Clinex 4Dirt Foam . It is perfect for industry and gastronomy. Thanks to the stable, active foam, it does not flow from vertical surfaces, allowing the active substances that emulsify fat to have enough time to work. The product is also effective in hard water – thanks to the softening and wetting substances it contains.
Advantages of foam washing
Foam washing has many advantages. Its effectiveness is mainly due to the prolonged contact time of the cleaning agent with the dirt. Another advantage is that we do not destroy the structure of the washed materials, there are no scratches after washing because we do not use mechanical action and the pressure we use to apply the foam is very low and the foam stream does not adversely affect the washed surface. We can use this method to clean hard-to-reach places where using a brush or sponge is impossible. After completing the washing process, the foam is easy to rinse off with water.
