Selden Selactive Professional Poolside & Wet Area Cleaner
Selactive E014 from Selden is a specialist professional cleaner, sanitiser and deodoriser designed for demanding wet environments where water, body fats, soap residues, mineral scale and persistent odours can quickly build up.
The mildly acidic formulation combines cleaning agents and biocides to help remove everyday contamination while also controlling the bacteria responsible for unpleasant odours. Selden specifically recommends Selactive for poolside cleaning, washrooms, showers, stainless steel urinals, washbasins, floors and other non-porous surfaces.
Specialist Poolside Cleaning
Swimming-pool surrounds and wet leisure environments present particular cleaning challenges.
Mineral deposits, body oils, soap residues and repeated foot traffic can quickly leave poolside tiles, showers and adjoining surfaces looking dull and unclean.
Selactive is designed specifically for these conditions and can be diluted for routine cleaning of:
- Pool surrounds
- Poolside tiles
- Shower areas
- Changing rooms
- Wet-area floors
- Walls
- Washrooms
- Stainless steel fittings
- Other suitable non-porous surfaces
Selden’s product information specifically identifies poolside cleaning at a 1:40 dilution.
Removes Limescale & Body Fats
Selactive’s acidic formulation helps remove limescale and mineral deposits from appropriate surfaces.
It can also be applied to a cleaning cloth to remove scale and body fats from showers and sinks, followed by thorough rinsing with water.
This makes it particularly useful in swimming pools, leisure centres and changing facilities where conventional neutral cleaners may struggle with persistent scale deposits.
Cleans, Sanitises & Controls Odours
Selactive does more than simply remove visible dirt.
The manufacturer states that the product:
- Cleans and sanitises surfaces
- Removes limescale
- Kills odour-producing bacteria
- Leaves a fresh fragrance
That combination makes it particularly useful for high-humidity environments where unpleasant smells can quickly develop.
Fresh Lime Fragrance
The current Selden technical information identifies Selactive as having a fresh lime fragrance.
I'd mention this clearly because it gives customers another tangible benefit compared with purely technical acidic cleaners.
Independently Tested to BS6471 QAP50
Selden states that Selactive is independently tested to BS6471 QAP50.
