DDC rust and scale test
CLR ran 36 hours and failed. HCR cleared 20-year rust and scale in about 30 minutes, verified by DDC Engineering.
Replaces: CLR / muriatic acidThe same job, on real sites.
VertKleen has cleared 20-year rust, run full brewery CIP, descaled refrigeration plants, and washed occupied campuses, all at HMIS 0-0-0. Here is the field record, before and after, with the numbers.

Sort by the buyer's problem.
Filter the proof by the problem your buyer needs solved: water, food and beverage, distribution, or facilities.
Food & Beverage
Brewery CIP trials
CR alkaline wash plus HCR acid wash matched the caustic and acid sequence across brewery trials with safer handling.
Replaces: caustic soda + acid blend
Food & Beverage
Carib Brewery lab comparison
HCR matched the CIP acid clean at less than half concentration and left no nitrogen or phosphorus in the effluent.
Replaces: conventional CIP acid
Distribution
Refrigeration descaling
Descaler proof supports heat-transfer recovery, shorter cleaning windows, and broad metal safety for refrigeration assets.
Replaces: Calci-Solve / acid descalers
Facilities
Occupied-campus washdown
MultiWash was used with drone pressure washing to clean exterior surfaces while the facility remained occupied.
Replaces: harsher exterior cleaners
Facilities
Commercial kitchen degreasing
CRHD cut baked-on grease from kitchen equipment and floors with low foam and no solvent or butyl odor.
Replaces: solvent degreasers

20-year rust and scale, cleared in 30 minutes
CLR ran for 36 hours and failed. VertKleen HCR cleared the same rust and scale in half an hour, verified by DDC Engineering (David DaSilva, PE).

Food & Beverage
Full CR + HCR CIP at seven Florida breweries
CR alkaline wash then HCR acid wash matched or beat caustic soda plus acid blends at equal concentration and CIP time. HCR's low pH also sanitizes, dropping a separate step.

Distribution / Cold Chain
Simple Green replaced across Walmart DCs
CRHD at about 50% active replaced Simple Green and Calci-Solve for heavy degreasing, saving an estimated $10k+ per year at one center. Crown and Plug Power approved.

43-foot Yellowfin washed and waxed dockside
VertKleen Torque cleaned and protected the hull and topsides in one step, within OEM finish-care requirements, with no harsh fumes around the water.

Drone & Pressure Wash
Occupied campus cleaned by drone at UF Shands
Clean Team USA used VertKleen MultiWash with an Apellix pressure-washing drone to clear years of scale and algae from trim, caulking, and glass, with the hospital occupied.

Food Service
Restaurant hood filters and floors degreased
NeatFreaks crews ran VertKleen across Boca Raton restaurants. About 32 oz of CRHD mopped 2,500 square feet, replacing caustic and solvent degreasers.

Facilities / Fire
Fire-pump solenoid and cavity descaled
VertKleen Descaler cleared scale from a fire-protection pump without acid washing, on a Siemens maintenance program, with no aggressive corrosion to the assembly.

Residential / HVAC
AC coil cleaned, lower monthly bill
A residential AC coil was cleaned and preserved with VertKleen Descaler, fin-safe on aluminum, reportedly cutting about $75 per month off the cooling bill.

Marine / Aluminum
Commercial tourist airboat aluminum restored
AlumiBrite and Torque restored the hull and aluminum on a working tourist airboat, without the hydrofluoric or hydrochloric acid standard brighteners rely on.

Agriculture / HVAC
Farm HVAC rust removed, one application
VertKleen HCR cleared heavy rust and scale on Brevard County farm HVAC and diamond-plated stainless, with no muriatic acid and no pitting of the metal.

Property
Grout, grime, moss, and algae cleared
CR and LAM3 cleared biological growth and grime from grout, stucco, and exterior surfaces, including a painted column that came fully clean over about two weeks with no harm to the paint.

Commercial kitchen deep-degreased
CRHD cut baked-on grease from commercial kitchen equipment and floors at high dilution, low-foam for easier rinse, without solvent or butyl odor in the space.

Independent lab
Cleaner effluent than the CIP acid it replaced.
Carib Brewery (CBUSA) lab evaluation, HCR versus the conventional CIP acid. HCR matched the clean at less than half the concentration and left no nitrogen or phosphorus in the effluent.
| Measure | VertKleen HCR | CIP acid (replaced) |
|---|---|---|
| pH | 1.0 | <1 |
| Sample concentration | 7% | 15% |
| Nitrogen (mg/L) | 0 | 33,300 |
| Phosphorus (mg/L) | 0 | 48,950 |
| COD (mg/L) | 0 | 0 |
Rust-removal test: on four sections of one rusted heat-exchanger plate, HCR removed the rust completely without effort while the in-use CIP acid left rust behind under more scrubbing. Source: Carib Brewery (CBUSA) lab results.
