Chemwash History
Chemwash was formed in 1981 to market and apply a new cleaning technique, using non-poisonous and non-toxic detergents to do all the ‘hard work’. This system replaces high-pressure water blasting, which was the norm in those days, and is still used extensively today by many other cleaning companies.
Chemwash is 100% owned in New Zealand. It was the first company in this country to use the unique system of non-toxic detergents, low pressure and a fan washing procedure. The detergents were developed for Chemwash by a leading industrial chemist, whose brief it was to develop a safe detergent to use around buildings and houses but were still effective in the selective killing of mould, lichen and moss, as well as lifting and cleaning away dirt and grime. Of course, this new detergent also had to be safe around people, pets and all general vegetation.
Our company has continued researching and developing new products to meet current demands for safe & environmentally friendly products. All our detergents used in residential, commercial, agricultural and industrial situations are safe & break down easily. Most are also MAF-approved.
Today, Chemwash Tauranga is one of 40 Chemwash franchises operating throughout New Zealand.
