This product worked very well indeed. This was our first experience using Tornado Cleanze. We chose to use it on quoins and coping stones. Both were natural sandstone. Adhesion and quality were paramount on this job – and we were not disappointed.

Heavy algae and lichen growth can be a problem to remove using conventional cleaning methods. Even regular soft washing may not be fully effective, or provide sufficiently fast results.
Tornado Cleanze is the solution. Tornado Cleanze easily, quickly and safely removes stubborn black, green, red and yellow staining from external hard surfaces.
And its rapid, precisely targeted cleaning action means there's no overspray or spray drift onto surrounding properties and plants.
Tornado Cleanze is a non-penetrating, very strong sodium hypochlorite gel that stays on the surface. This gives it a long contact time and a remarkable power to oxidise and remove the discolouration caused by micro-organisms.
BEFORE TREATMENT WITH TORNADO CLEANZE
AFTER TREATMENT WITH TORNADO CLEANZE
Tornado Cleanze can be used as a stand-alone cleaner on paths, patios, driveways, render, concrete, sandstone, capping stones, chimneys, brickwork, stonework, window sills, some plastics and most other exterior hard surfaces.
It can also be used as a “spot cleaner” in conjunction with one of our other Benz softwash cleaning products.
For example:
The actual sequence of use will depend on the severity and depth of the colonisation, how long it has been allowed to grow into the surface, and the specific requirements of each job and customer.
Ongoing maintenance: To keep surfaces permanently clean all year around, it's important to post-treat with Bio Cleanze after thoroughly rinsing off Tornado Cleanze.
Tornado Cleanze comes in sturdy, drop-tested 5 litre containers.
It remains usable for at least 6 months after manufacture when stored in a cool location, in the original, unopened container.
Tornado Cleanze is a concentrated, ready-to-use gel. A little goes a long way. 1 litre will cover 6 metres2 of render or brickwork, 10 metres2 of sandstone, or 10 average capping stones.
To treat light stains, Tornado Cleanze can be diluted 50:50 (i.e. 1 part Tornado Cleanze with 1 part water).
Back to topThe reason Tornado Cleanze is so advanced compared with other gel products is that it can be diluted and yet still retains its excellent "stickability".
Use de-mineralised* water if possible – as used for water-fed pole window cleaning – which will give the diluted solution a longer shelf life. Ordinary tap water can be used but the diluted solution should be used immediately. For best results use any diluted solution within 24 hours of diluting.
* In actual use this can be regarded as being the same as "de-ionised" water, although technically there can be subtle differences. The two words are often used interchangeably.
Quick tips:
1) A light pre-wetting of the surface to be treated makes application by brush or roller faster and easier.
We also suggest lightly pre-wetting a surface after prolonged dry periods and/or in very hot direct sunlight.
2) Use undiluted for local application where there is severe colonisation/staining – for which a diluted solution would be less effective. For example:
3) Use diluted 50:50 for relatively light green, red and light black stains on all other surfaces. This makes application, on large areas of render for example, quick and safe because the product remains a gel. Rinse just before the product dries.
4) When cleaning sandstone, a 50:50 dilution of Tornado Cleanze and water tends to work faster than when undiluted.
5) For best results use Tornado Cleanze within 24 hours of diluting.
Back to topBy brush or roller, or a combination of both. Ensure a thin film is left on the surface.
Tornado Cleanze can be diluted and sprayed although this is not its intended use. A better practice in most instances would be to use Lightning Cleanze if a spray application is required (eg for treating large areas of wall render).
Quick tip: A light jet wash before applying is ideal but not essential. Loose dirt and debris must be removed to allow Tornado Cleanze to do its job on the ingrained stain, but this can also be achieved with a simple hosepipe and broom.
APPLYING TORNADO CLEANZE BY BRUSH
Ideally, apply in temperatures of 8-30 degrees C. Allow longer for Tornado Cleanze to work in cooler temperatures. Cool down surfaces by lightly pre-spraying with cold fresh water in very hot weather.
Quick Tips:
Important: Be sure to protect plant life from drops, accidental spillage and rinse water.
Black and green discolouration will disappear from most surfaces within 30-60 minutes in mild temperatures, longer in cooler weather. Heavy red stains may turn pink at first, then fade in 24-48 hours. Sometimes, a second application may be needed.

Soft washing reduces, or even eliminates, the need to use high-pressure washing.
Instead, once the build up of algae, lichen, fungus, moss and mould – the root causes of properties looking "dirty" – has been treated, the natural "self-cleansing" of sun, rain and wind removes the surface residue through time.
By educating the cleaning trade and public about soft washing we are helping develop an industry that offers sustainable treatments to clean and maintain exterior hard surfaces.
