Cleanwash: The Hygienic Choice for Food-Grade Sanitisation

In food production environments, maintaining hygiene is non-negotiable. The Cleanwash hose from Whitehouse Flexible Tubing is purpose-engineered for sanitising and high-purity cleaning tasks.

Made with a food-grade vinylic compound and reinforced with double high-tenacity polyester yarn, Cleanwash features smooth inner and outer surfaces to promote optimal flow and ease of cleaning.

Its outer cover is also grease-proof, offering resistance to the harsh detergents, chemicals, ozone, and weathering that occur during frequent washdowns.

Performance, Compliance, and Specifications

Cleanwash is rated for 50 bar working pressure at temperatures up to +70 °C, with an operational temperature range from –10 °C to +80 °C.

It is manufactured to comply with EU Regulation 10/2011 (classes A, B, C) for food contact applications. The hose is available in size 12 × 22 mm and supplied in coils (e.g. 100 m) for flexibility in installation.

Key Applications and Use Cases

Cleanwash is explicitly designed for hot water and cleaning solution delivery in food processing settings. Typical applications include sanitation of silos, refrigerated rooms, tanks, and any area where high-purity cleaning is critical.

Its robust design makes it ideal for food factories, dairy plants, breweries, and any facility that must meet stringent hygiene standards.

Why Cleanwash is the Smart Choice

Choosing Cleanwash means investing in a hose that balances strength, hygiene, and regulatory compliance. Its smooth bore ensures minimal residue build-up and easy drainage, while its chemical and detergent resistance helps prolong service life. Because it’s food-grade certified and built for high-pressure sanitation, Cleanwash is a dependable solution for industry operators who demand both safety and performance in their cleaning processes.
