Omniclean

Omniclean 5L Foaming Detergent

Mirius Omniclean is a concentrated foaming detergent for the first cleaning stage in animal housing, hatcheries, transport and food-processing areas. It removes surface debris and organic soils, including fats and proteins, so that cleaning teams can prepare equipment and premises for a separate disinfection stage.

The surfactant formulation helps lift stubborn deposits and biofilm from suitable surfaces. It disperses readily in water and can be used in hot or cold, hard or soft water, although the manufacturer prefers softened warm water. The 5 litre container suits measured preparation of working solutions for different cleaning jobs.

Omniclean offers different application strengths for routine cleaning, heavy foam cleaning and lightly soiled vehicles. Lower-concentration solutions produce less foam, while the heavier foam-cleaning procedure uses a foaming lance at low pressure. Matching the method to the task helps staff clean thoroughly and rinse away loosened material.

Use Omniclean within a planned programme alongside other suitable livestock cleaning detergents. Mirius specifically pairs it with Omnicide disinfectant for a cleaning-then-disinfection routine. Complete the detergent wash and rinse before applying the selected disinfectant according to its own label.

• Organic-soil removal: tackles fats, proteins, surface debris and biofilm.
• Flexible application strengths: separate instructions for general cleaning, heavy foam cleaning and light vehicle soiling.
• Readily disperses in water: suitable for hot or cold and hard or soft water; softened warm water is preferred.
• 5 litre pack: concentrated product for measured dilution at the point of use.

Directions for Use

Prepare the area and cleaning solution

Read the label and safety data sheet before handling the concentrate. Wear the specified protective gloves and eye protection: Omniclean causes skin irritation and serious eye damage, and is hazardous to aquatic life. Remove equipment, litter, dung, dust and loose dirt as appropriate. Select the dilution for the task and avoid release to the environment.

Clean housing and apply heavy foam

For routine animal-housing cleaning, apply at 1:160 through a foaming lance or knapsack sprayer at low pressure. Leave for 15 minutes, then wash thoroughly with water under pressure. For calf pens and rearing houses, allow surfaces to dry before applying disinfectant. For heavy-duty foam cleaning, use 1–2% according to soiling and apply at low pressure through a foaming lance. Follow the task-specific instructions for hatcheries and sensitive areas.

Clean food-processing equipment

For slaughterhouse lines, shackles and equipment, apply at 1:160 using a low-pressure foaming lance or knapsack sprayer, leave for 20 minutes and wash with potable water under pressure. For tables, trays, trolleys, knives and equipment, the leaflet specifies 1:320, adjusted according to soiling and fat residues: spray or soak, leave for 15 minutes, then wash off with potable water.

Wash vehicles and complete the cleaning programme

For egg lorries and lightly soiled vehicles, spray at low pressure using a 1:320 dilution, then wash thoroughly with water. For other routine cleaning, use the manufacturer's task-specific instructions within the stated 1:160–1:320 range. After cleaning and rinsing, carry out the site's separate disinfection procedure. Do not assume that a detergent cleaning period provides a disinfectant contact time.

FAQs

Is Omniclean a detergent or a disinfectant?

Omniclean is the detergent stage of the programme. It removes organic soil and debris before a separate disinfectant is applied. Mirius recommends it in conjunction with Omnicide, with each product used in its appropriate stage.

How does routine cleaning differ from heavy foam cleaning?

The leaflet gives routine dilutions between 1:160 and 1:320 according to the task and soil level. Heavy-duty foam cleaning uses 1–2% through a foaming lance at low pressure. Do not interchange these procedures without checking the instructions.

How long should it remain on the surface?

The period depends on the application. Routine animal-housing cleaning at 1:160 uses 15 minutes, while the stated slaughterhouse equipment procedure uses 20 minutes. Tables, trays, knives and similar equipment have a 15-minute cleaning period before a potable-water rinse.

Can it be used on vehicles and equipment?

Yes, the manufacturer includes transport vehicles and suitable equipment among its applications. Egg lorries and lightly soiled vehicles use a 1:320 low-pressure spray followed by thorough washing. More heavily soiled tasks require their own appropriate procedure.

Does it work in hard or cold water?

The manufacturer states that Omniclean is effective in hot or cold and hard or soft water, while preferring softened warm water. It disperses readily in water; use the correct concentration and follow the application and rinsing instructions for the task.

What size is supplied and how should staff handle it?

This listing supplies a 5 litre container of concentrate. Staff should measure the required dilution and follow the current safety data sheet, including skin and eye protection and environmental precautions. Keep the document available wherever the product is prepared or used.
