Evans Q'sol is a concentrated manual washing-up liquid for crockery, glassware and kitchen utensils. Its rich foam and grease-cleaning action suit washing-up areas in commercial kitchens, catering premises and other workplaces.

Follow the current Evans label for dilution, clean the items thoroughly and rinse as instructed before returning them to use. Q'sol is a detergent for manual cleaning; it should not be substituted for an automatic dishwasher product or a disinfectant with a required contact time. Store securely in its labelled container and keep dispensing equipment clean.

Omnicide FG is an unfragranced disinfectant concentrate for use in food-production environments, including slaughterhouses and food-preparation areas. The 25 litre container is suited to sites that manage regular cleaning and disinfection programmes with trained staff and documented procedures. This is the FG variant; Omnicide FGII is the separate uncoloured and unfragranced option. Select the product and working dilution for the intended application using the current manufacturer’s instructions. Surface suitability, contact time and any rinsing requirements must be checked before treatment, particularly around food-contact equipment. Keep the safety data sheet available to staff preparing or applying the solution, and use the concentrate only within the handling arrangements specified for your workplace.
Omnicide FGII 25L is a disinfectant concentrate without added dye or perfume, intended for surface disinfection in food-production and preparation environments. It provides the uncoloured option within the Omnicide FG range, helping buyers distinguish it from the unfragranced FG formulation. The large container suits premises using a planned cleaning programme and measured chemical preparation. Before use, check that the product is appropriate for the equipment, surface and process involved. Prepare the working solution according to the current label, and follow the specified application, contact-time and rinsing instructions. Staff should have access to the safety data sheet and the site’s handling procedure whenever concentrate is being dispensed or diluted.
Mirius Omniclean 5L is a foaming detergent for first-stage cleaning in animal housing, hatcheries, transport and food-processing areas. It removes surface debris and soils such as fats and proteins before the separate disinfection stage. The manufacturer also identifies equipment and utensils in animal-health and food-processing settings as suitable applications. Omniclean disperses readily in water and can be used with the application method and dilution specified for the cleaning task. General cleaning, heavy foam cleaning and lightly soiled vehicles have different instructions, so match the concentration to the surface and soil load. Remove loose material first, apply the prepared detergent and rinse thoroughly as directed before moving on to the site’s disinfection procedure.
Evans Coldwash 25kg is a highly caustic detergent powder for cold circulation cleaning of dairy milking equipment. It cleans milking machines, pipelines and jars without heating the water for the routine cold wash. The powder mixes easily, produces no foam and rinses freely, with suitability for hard or soft water. Coldwash uses a specific two-wash procedure that includes retaining the first wash solution and rinsing the plant immediately before the next milking. This differs from a conventional single-use wash cycle, so the full manufacturer’s programme must be followed. Check equipment suitability and read the current label and safety data sheet before use. This listing supplies the 25kg pack, Evans product code R041HEV.
Evans Shift 25L is a heavy-duty detergent for pressure washing livestock housing, buildings, vehicles and fixed equipment. Its surface-active ingredients penetrate organic build-up, while alkali and sequestrants help disperse loosened soil. The liquid mixes readily with water and is suitable for hot or cold pressure-washing equipment. Shift can be applied as a spray or through a foam applicator, with the dilution chosen for the soiling level and equipment. It works across water hardness conditions and is free-rinsing after treatment. Calibrate the pressure washer before use, allow the specified soaking period and complete the wash according to the product instructions. This listing supplies the 25 litre pack, Evans code R053KEV.
Evans Target Extra 25L is a heavy-duty chlorinated foam cleaner for removing food soils, fats, proteins and stains from compatible surfaces. It contains caustic and hypochlorite and is designed for demanding cleaning tasks in food processing, abattoirs and animal or poultry housing. The formulation produces a stable foam that rinses away after treatment. Choose the application method to suit your equipment: the manufacturer provides separate instructions for foam-lance, pressurised-canister, manual and immersion cleaning. Each method has its own concentration and temperature range. Target Extra must not be used on soft metals. Follow the current label, rinse thoroughly with potable water and use the protective equipment specified in the safety data sheet.
Evans Target Powergel is a highly alkaline foam and gel detergent for heavy organic soiling in livestock housing. Its thick, clinging foam increases surface contact time, helping the cleaner penetrate deposits on walls and other vertical surfaces. It is suitable for cleaning floors, slats, walkways, cages and pens using compatible pressure-wash equipment. The formulation works in hard or soft water and with hot or cold cleaning programmes. Evans provides separate concentrations for heavy foam/gel cleaning and general foam cleaning, so match the dilution to the task and applicator. Use a suitable foam lance and rinse as directed after the contact period. Do not use on vehicles or aluminium. Select either the 2 x 5 litre or 25 litre option.
Professional Farm Detergents & Livestock Cleaning Chemicals
Effective farm biosecurity begins with thorough cleaning.
Organic contamination such as mud, manure, grease, fats, protein residues and biofilm can reduce the effectiveness of subsequent disinfection, making the detergent-cleaning stage an essential part of livestock and agricultural hygiene programmes.
Astral Hygiene supplies professional farm detergents and heavy-duty agricultural cleaners for livestock housing, floors, walls, ceilings, farm equipment, vehicles and other washable surfaces.
Products within the range include powerful foam detergents such as Omniclean and Evans Vanodine Shift, which are designed for demanding first-stage cleaning applications. The current Shift listing specifically covers floors, walls, ceilings, livestock housing, vehicles and fixed equipment, while Omniclean is positioned for animal housing, transport, hatcheries and food-processing areas.
Professional detergent cleaning helps remove physical contamination before an appropriate disinfectant is applied, supporting a more effective two-stage clean-and-disinfect biosecurity programme.
Foam Cleaners, Pressure-Washer Detergents & Dairy Cleaning Products
Different agricultural cleaning jobs require different detergent formulations and application methods.
Foam Cleaning
Heavy-duty foam detergents provide extended surface contact and make it easier to visually monitor coverage across walls, floors and equipment.

Food & Processing Environments
The category also includes specialist alkaline and low-foaming detergents for food-processing and equipment-cleaning applications, allowing agricultural and food-production businesses to source a broader professional hygiene system from one supplier.
FAQs
What farm detergents does Astral Hygiene supply?
Astral Hygiene supplies professional agricultural detergents including livestock housing cleaners, foam detergents, pressure-washer chemicals, dairy circulation cleaners and heavy-duty equipment cleaners.
Why should livestock housing be cleaned before disinfection?
Physical dirt and organic contamination can interfere with disinfectant performance. Thorough detergent cleaning removes contamination from surfaces so that the subsequent disinfectant can make better contact with the area being treated.
What is a farm foam cleaner?
A foam cleaner is a detergent formulated to create a visible foam when applied through suitable equipment. The foam provides prolonged surface contact and helps operators see which areas have been treated.
Do you supply detergents for livestock housing?
Yes. Products such as Evans Vanodine Shift and Omniclean are listed for applications that include livestock housing and other demanding agricultural cleaning environments.
Do you supply pressure-washer detergents?
Yes. The range includes detergents suitable for use with pressure-washing systems, including products designed for vehicles, machinery, equipment and heavy-duty surface cleaning.
Do you supply cleaners for farm vehicles and machinery?
Yes. Products including T.S.R. 100 are formulated for removing traffic film, grease and heavy contamination from commercial vehicles, plant machinery and industrial equipment.
Do you supply dairy detergents?
Yes. The range includes specialist dairy cleaners such as Coldwash, which is designed for circulation cleaning of milking plant, pipelines and jars.
What is the difference between a farm detergent and a disinfectant?
A detergent primarily removes dirt, grease, proteins and other physical or organic contamination. A disinfectant is used to reduce or destroy microorganisms. In many agricultural hygiene programmes, detergent cleaning takes place before disinfection.
Can farm detergents be used with foam equipment?
Some can. Products such as Shift are specifically designed for pressure-washer and foam-cleaning systems. Always check the individual product instructions before use.
