Continual cleaning where you need it most.

Trench Clean is specifically designed for hard to reach trench and slot drains. Trench clean is activated every time water enters the trench to keep the trench clean, even between maintenance.

Designed for trench and slot drains

Regular drain use can lead to dirty buildup that causes pooling, clogging, odors, and overall unsanitary conditions. Our Quat trench cleaners provide a practical solution.

Trench Clean is a non-dissolving polymer block that releases cleaning agents, surfactants, and degreasers in the presence of water. That means the trench is being cleaned everytime water enters and contacts the surface of Trench Clean. Our drain products clean in between maintenance, adding to the overall sanitation program, and helping to reduce the risks of cross-contamination.

Available in EPA Registered or Green Certified

The design of Trench Clean allows it to be placed into the desired position and then secured from the top by a rubber grip. In narrow slot drains, it can be slid in from the drain outlet, then positioned where it's needed most at the source of water entry. Each Trench Clean lasts for 15 days, making it a smart and time efficient solution to keep trench and slot drains clean.

  • Maintains the same size and weight in water. Trench Clean will not shrink or dissolve
  • Secure fitment
  • Trench clean remains in the same place where's it's secured into position.
  • Easy to change, simply remove the old Trench Clean, and place a new one
  • How does Trench Clean work?

    Trench Clean is made with a non-dissolving polymer core that contains cleaning detergents in it's pores. When water flows into the trench and over the quat block, the pores are activated to release a small amount of cleaning detergents. Our water activated technology is a time-release± system that cleans drains each time water passes over the product. This continual trench cleaning action keeps the trench clean for 15 days. When it's time to replace, simply remove the old Trench Clean and place in a new one.

    Installing Trench Clean

    In Trench drains, open the grate in the desired location. Place the trench clean, pull the empty fabric through the grate, then secure it with the provided rubber grommet.

    In slot drains, place Trench clean into the drain at the opening nearest the desired location. Pull the extended fabric to the top of the slot, then slide it along the drain until it is in the desired location. Secure trench clean with the provided rubber grommet.

    Trench clean can be used in all Trench or slot drains, including those in:

  • Poultry, fish, meat, and general food processing plants
  • Beverage processing plants.
  • Shower Drains
  • Commercial Kitchens
  • Public Spaces
  • Bathrooms
