“Lightning Cleanze works so much better than the unlicensed stuff I was getting before. I am impressed, and I’m not easily impressed …"
Peter, Exterior Cleaning Solutions
Watch the short (1 minute) video below to see the power of Lightning Cleanze
Lightning Cleanze does not bio-accumulate and the surfactant is fully biodegradable.
After use it quickly breaks down into tiny amounts of ordinary salt and water containing no free chlorine.
Lightning Cleanze is fully approved by both the Irish Pesticides Registration & Control Service (PCS) and UK Health & Safety Executive (HSE) for use as a softwashing biocide in Ireland and the UK.
It conforms to the Global Harmonised System (GHS) for product labelling.
And it's fully compliant with the EU "REACH" (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation & restriction of CHemicals) regulations for cleaning exterior hard surfaces.
HSE approval number: 10161
PCS number: 98411

The above photo was taken by our customer Raymond Hampson from KRend Cleaning & Restoration, who used Benz Lightning Cleanze to achieve this excellent result
The active ingredient is recommend for cleaning the products – render and cladding – of industry-leading companies such as KRend, Weber and Kingspan Cladding.
Effective and safe to use on:
Lightning Cleanze as applied to actual surfaces contains only 0.5-2% available chlorine – a similar % as used to disinfect babies bottles.
Lightning Cleanze is safe for appropriate uses when diluted and applied in accordance with the product labelling and directions on this website.
Lightning Cleanze does not bio-accumulate and becomes inactive within 30-60 minutes of application. It breaks down in contact with organic materials and quickly dissipates.
Even the surfactant in Lightning Cleanze is biodegradable and conforms to the latest government guidelines on biodegradability.

IMPORTANT STORAGE GUIDELINES
Lightning Cleanze should be stored away from direct sunlight and in a cool, but not freezing, location.
Quick tip: During warm weather the product will naturally vent a small amount of vapour via the vent valve in the cap. And sometimes, if the container is shaken during transportation, a small amount of product can leak from the cap vent.
If this happens, as the product dries a white salt residue may be seen around the cap and sometimes down the side of the container. Although it can look dramatic, this will only be a few ml of product and is quite normal and nothing to be concerned about.
Follow correct COSHH procedures to protect surrounding surfaces and the environment, such as: Placing the affected containers in a watertight plastic bund. Washing the salt residue from the containers. Leaving to dry. Then disposing of the rinse water in a foul drain.
Lightning Cleanze lasts longer in storage than industrial 15% hypo because:
1) The chemical nature of 15% SH means that it breaks down far more rapidly than the 10% SH used in Lightning Cleanze.
2) The high quality of chemistry involved in the manufacturing process.
3) Its high quality surfactant and scent.
The high quality surfactant keeps the mix stable and does not cause the sodium hypochlorite to chemically degrade, as do cheap surfactants.
And of course Lightning Cleanze has the huge advantage of being the ONLY fully legal SH-based softwash biocide available in the UK and Ireland.
SPECIAL NOTES RE 205L DRUMS
These drums are intended for cleaning companies who have:

We recommend using a Benz 10-tip spray nozzle to apply Lightning Cleanze as the results you'll get will be better than any other nozzle we've tested. These nozzles minimise spray drift and deliver the maximum quantity of product where it is needed.
We supply Lightning Cleanze in 5, 20 and 205 litre containers.
Always store Lightning Cleanze in the original containers, which are designed for maximum safety and longevity of the product. They have vented caps that allow for the gradual and safe release of a small amount of harmless vapour.
Benz containers are industrial strength and have been drop-tested. This means they can withstand the sometimes harsh conditions of on-site use, and storage in vans along with other equipment, without splitting.
Quick tip: Some companies cut corners by using weaker containers to make their products seem cheaper. But the potential health and safety hazards these create, along with the financial cost of leakages, mean they are a false economy.
Please note: We give the following information for those new to soft washing to have a starting point when calculating the amount of product that will be needed for a softwashing contract.
In actual practice multiple factors need to be taken into account, such as the type of material being treated, the porosity of the surface, the type of infestation, how long the infestation has been allowed to grow into the surface, and so on.
Coverage in general:
The exact coverage of Lightning Cleanze depends on several factors, such as:
Always rinse Lightning Cleanze from the surface being treated after allowing 30-60 minutes for the cleaning action to take effect. This removes the small amounts of surfactant and common salt left behind by the chemical reaction.
Always rinse between applications. On many contracts one application is sufficient. But if the staining is really bad, two treatments – exceptionally three – may be required.
Rinsing between applications of Lightning Cleanze removes the "debris" from the pores of the surface, allowing subsequent applications to penetrate more deeply into the layer of biological growth, ensuring maximum effectiveness.
If Benz Bio Cleanze is to be applied as a final treatment, thorough rinsing of Lightning Cleanze is important prior to application. This enables Bio Cleanze to provide maximum long-term residual protection against re-colonisation.

It's a free resource for people wanting to learn about the soft washing industry, to expand an existing business, or build a new business.
Soft washing reduces, or even eliminates, the need to use high-pressure washing.
Instead, once the build up of algae, lichen, fungus and mould – the root causes of properties looking "dirty" – has been treated, the natural "self-cleansing" of sun, rain and wind removes the surface residue through time.
By educating the cleaning trade and public about soft washing we are helping develop an industry that offers sustainable treatments to clean and maintain exterior hard surfaces.
