Shift 25L Heavy-Duty Power Wash Detergent
Evans Shift is a concentrated detergent for removing organic build-up from livestock housing, buildings, vehicles and fixed equipment. The 25 litre R053KEV pack suits premises carrying out regular wash-downs with compatible pressure-washing equipment, whether the cleaning routine uses a spray or a foam applicator.
Its surface-active ingredients help wet and penetrate residues, while alkali and sequestrants assist the dispersal of loosened soil. Shift mixes readily with water, works across water hardness conditions and rinses freely. It can be used with hot or cold pressure washers, allowing the cleaning method to suit the equipment and surface being treated.
Choose the dilution for the level of soiling and the application system. Light-soil washing, heavy-soil washing and foam application have different manufacturer instructions. Calibrating the washer before starting and allowing the specified soaking period help ensure that the detergent reaches the surface at the intended strength and has time to penetrate residues.
Shift performs the cleaning stage of a hygiene programme. Where a separate disinfection stage is required, select a suitable product such as FAM 30 or Omnicide and follow that product's own directions after cleaning. Keep each stage separate and use the current labels and site procedure to determine the complete treatment.

Directions for Use
Prepare the equipment and select the method
Check the product label, safety data sheet and equipment instructions before use. Confirm that the surface is suitable for an alkaline detergent and pressure washing. Calibrate the washer to the correct dilution setting before starting; the concentration reaching the surface must match the chosen application.
Dilute for the soiling level
For light soiling, use one part Shift to 500 parts water. For heavy soiling, use one part to 250 parts water. For foam cleaning, use one part to 50–150 parts water, depending on the type of foam applicator. Follow any specific site or manufacturer programme applicable to the job.
Apply, soak and complete the wash
Thoroughly wet the surfaces with the prepared solution using low pressure. Allow a minimum of 15 minutes for penetration and soil removal, then continue pressure washing until all surfaces are clean. If disinfection follows, complete the separate disinfectant's preparation, application and rinsing requirements.
Handle and store the concentrate correctly
The concentrate causes skin irritation and serious eye damage. Wear protective gloves, clothing and eye or face protection as specified in the safety data sheet, and do not breathe spray. Keep the product in its original, tightly closed container in a cool, well-ventilated place, away from oxidising materials.

FAQs
What is Shift used to clean?
Shift removes organic build-up from suitable floors, walls, ceilings, livestock housing, vehicles and fixed equipment. It is intended for a planned wash-down process using correctly diluted detergent and compatible pressure-washing equipment.
Can Shift be used in a cold-water pressure washer?
Yes. Evans specifies both hot and cold pressure washers. Check the machine's chemical-dosing instructions and the surface-care requirements, then calibrate the equipment for the dilution needed for the particular cleaning task.
What is the correct dilution for foam cleaning?
The product information sheet specifies one part Shift to 50–150 parts water for foam cleaning, depending on the applicator. This differs from the light- and heavy-soiling spray dilutions, so check the foam equipment before preparing the solution.
How long should the detergent soak?
The general product directions require a minimum of 15 minutes after surfaces have been thoroughly wetted at low pressure. Continue pressure washing until clean. This is a detergent soaking period, not a disinfectant contact-time claim.
Does Shift replace a disinfectant?
Shift is a detergent for removing soil. Where the hygiene programme requires disinfection, use a separately selected disinfectant after cleaning and follow its current label for dilution, contact time and application conditions. Do not mix the products.
Which documents accompany this 25 litre product?
The related documents provide the current manufacturer-supplied safety data sheet, product information sheet and Halal certificate. Consult them alongside the container label for handling precautions, dilution guidance and the scope and dates of the certification.
