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.
