Designed for effective cleaning without the need to heat water, it removes milk residues while leaving equipment clean, bright and free-rinsing. Suitable for all water hardness levels.
Evans Vanodine Coldwash is a concentrated powder circulation cleaner developed for the efficient cleaning of dairy milking systems using cold water. Its highly caustic formulation removes milk residues and organic deposits without requiring heated water, helping to reduce energy consumption while maintaining excellent cleaning performance.
The free-flowing powder dissolves quickly, creating a low-foaming, free-rinsing solution that circulates easily through milking plants, pipelines and jars. Suitable for use in hard and soft water, Coldwash delivers consistent results regardless of local water conditions.
Ideal for routine dairy cleaning programmes, Coldwash leaves equipment clean and bright, helping maintain high hygiene standards throughout the milking process. It is supplied in a 25kg pack, making it suitable for regular commercial dairy use.
Thoroughly rinse the outside of the clusters before putting on the jetters. Pre-rinse the pipeline with about 9 litres of clean cold water per milking unit and run to waste.
Add 226 g of Coldwash to each 45 litres of cold water to make up the wash solution, allowing 9 litres per milking unit.
Draw this solution into the plant, allowing about 7 litres to run to waste before circulating the remaining solution for 10 minutes.
Recover this solution into the wash trough and retain for the next wash.
Leave the clusters attached to the jetters. Do not rinse at this stage.
Rinse the plant thoroughly with clean water using about 9 litres per milking unit.
Pre-rinse the plant as above. Draw the solution retained from previous wash into plant allowing 7 litres to run to waste before circulating the remaining solution for 10 minutes.
Discharge this solution to waste. Leave the clusters attached to the jetters. Do not rinse at this stage. Rinse thoroughly immediately before the next milking as above.
Before embarking on the above programme and once per month thereafter, a hot wash process is recommended. Add 226 g of Coldwash and 0.5 litres of Evans Hypochlorite to each 45 litres of hot (800C, 1750F) water, allowing 9 litres per milking unit.
Discharge the first 7 litres to waste before circulating the remainder for 10 minutes. During this circulation period, switch off the milk pump for a short time to allow the auxiliary sanitary trap to fill partially with cleaning solution. Discharge the solution to waste then rinse thoroughly with clean cold water allowing 9 litres per milking unit.

Astral Hygiene supplies a wide range of professional agricultural disinfectants for use across livestock housing, poultry buildings, dairy sites, transport, boot dips, wheel washes and general farm hygiene applications.
The live range includes specialist products such as Omnicide, Peradox, GPC8 Glutaraldehyde, Fam 30, Vanodox and Vanoquat, covering a variety of professional disinfection needs and chemistry types. Selected products are described as DEFRA-approved for specific agricultural applications, including livestock biosecurity and notifiable disease-control uses where stated on the individual product pages. (astralhygiene.co.uk)
These products are designed for different applications, so selecting the correct disinfectant depends on the intended environment, target organism, level of organic contamination and any applicable statutory or manufacturer dilution guidance.
Different farm disinfection tasks require different active chemistries and formulations.
The category includes glutaraldehyde and QAC-based disinfectants such as GPC8 and Omnicide, iodophor disinfectants such as Fam 30 and V18, peracetic acid/peroxide-based products such as Peradox and Vanodox, and detergent-disinfectant formulations such as Vanoquat. These products support a range of applications including animal housing, equipment hygiene, dairy environments, food-processing support areas and vehicle disinfection. (astralhygiene.co.uk)
Some products in the category are also suitable for broader hygiene programmes, including dairy and food-processing applications, while others are more specifically positioned for agricultural biosecurity. For that reason, the page should focus on farm disinfectants and livestock biosecurity products while allowing individual product pages to carry the more specific technical and disease-related claims.
