Evans Vanodine Acid Brite Professional Dairy Cleaner
Acid Brite is a concentrated acidic dairy cleaning chemical developed by Evans Vanodine for effective cleaning and descaling of bulk milk tanks, milking equipment and dairy parlour systems.
The low-foaming, surfactant-assisted formulation combines effective cleaning with powerful removal of milkstone and mineral deposits, helping prevent the accumulation of residues on dairy equipment.
Milkstone and deposit build-up can provide areas where contamination can persist, so effective removal forms an important part of maintaining a thorough dairy hygiene programme. Your existing product information specifically highlights Acid Brite's high concentration of active ingredients for thorough cleaning and milkstone removal.
Powerful Milkstone & Scale Removal
One of Acid Brite's principal applications is the removal of milkstone from dairy equipment.
Milkstone develops as mineral and milk residues accumulate on milk-contact surfaces. Effective acidic cleaning helps break down these deposits and maintain clean equipment.
Acid Brite is particularly useful for:
- Bulk milk tanks
- Milk holding tanks
- Milking parlour equipment
- Milking plant
- Pipelines
- Robotic milking parlours
- Appropriate dairy equipment
Its concentrated acidic formulation can also be used for occasional heavier descaling when required.
Bulk Milk Tank Cleaning
Acid Brite is specifically formulated for the cleaning and descaling of bulk milk tanks.
Its low-foaming formulation makes it suitable for appropriate tank-cleaning systems while its acidic action helps remove the cream line, milkstone and mineral deposits that can accumulate during regular dairy operation.
The product may be used with hot or cold water, providing flexibility across different dairy cleaning systems.
This section is important for SEO because I'd like Google to associate this page strongly with:
bulk milk tank cleaner
milk tank descaler
bulk tank milkstone remover
rather than merely “Acid Brite”.
Suitable for Robotic Milking Parlours
Acid Brite is also suitable for appropriate cleaning and descaling applications in robotic milking parlours and other modern dairy systems.
This is another worthwhile long-tail target because customers operating automated milking systems are more likely to search specifically for robotic milking parlour cleaning chemicals than generic cleaning products.
Effective in Hard & Soft Water
Water hardness can have a significant impact on scale formation and dairy cleaning requirements.
Acid Brite is formulated to work effectively in both hard and soft water, allowing the same product to be used across different water conditions.
For dairies in hard-water areas, its descaling and milkstone-removal capability is particularly useful for controlling mineral deposits within equipment.
Alternating Acid / Alkali Cleaning Programmes
Acid Brite can form part of an alternating acid and alkaline wash programme for milking plants.
Alkaline cleaners are generally used to address organic residues such as fats and proteins, while acidic cleaning helps control mineral scale and milkstone.
Using Acid Brite within an appropriate cleaning programme therefore helps provide complementary descaling action alongside alkaline dairy cleaning products.
This also gives us an excellent opportunity for internal linking to the relevant alkaline products in your dairy range.

Directions for Use
Your current page contains excellent application information, so I would retain it but make it much easier to scan.
Bulk Milk Tank Spray Cleaning
Dilute:
200ml Acid Brite per 40 litres of water
Rinse milk residues from the equipment with clean cold water before cleaning. Follow the equipment manufacturer's instructions for automatic or manually operated spray-cleaning systems.
After cleaning, drain and rinse thoroughly with clean cold water to remove all traces of acid.
In-Place Milking Parlour Cleaning
Use:
40ml–200ml per 40 litres of water
The appropriate concentration depends upon water hardness and soil load.
After milking, thoroughly rinse the plant before introducing the prepared Acid Brite solution. Circulate for approximately 10 minutes, run to waste and thoroughly rinse the plant with clean water before allowing it to drain.
Heavy Scale Removal
For occasional descaling:
1 litre Acid Brite per 40 litres of water
Use as required to help keep appropriate milking equipment free from scale, following the manufacturer's instructions.

This is much easier for dairy customers to use than a large block of instructions.
