Clean, Free-Rinsing Performance for Sensitive Equipment
Some cleaning equipment simply can't tolerate excess suds — autoclaves, ultrasonic cleaners, and other automated washers need a detergent that cleans thoroughly without foaming up and interfering with the machine's operation. Medline's Low Foam Detergent is formulated specifically for that purpose, delivering effective, general-purpose cleaning without the foam buildup that can slow down or complicate automated equipment.
This super concentrated, low-foaming formula rinses cleanly, leaving no residue or interfering soap film behind, which matters both for equipment performance and for instruments that need to come out spot-free. It's effective against a broad range of soils and contaminants, making it a versatile general-purpose choice across a variety of medical and laboratory cleaning applications.
Key Features
- Low-foam formula ideal for autoclaves, ultrasonic cleaners, and other automated equipment
- Super concentrated for efficient cleaning and cost savings
- Free rinsing with no interfering residue
- Effective against a broad spectrum of soils and contaminants
- General-purpose cleaning solution for a wide range of medical applications
- Compatible with a wide range of medical equipment and surfaces
Low-foam formulas exist specifically because standard sudsing detergents can cause problems in automated machinery — excess foam can interfere with a washer's sensors, reduce mechanical cleaning action, or take longer to rinse away completely. If this detergent is being used in a machine designed for low-foam formulas specifically, this is the right product family to reach for; a high-sudsing detergent used in the same equipment could cause operational issues. For manual cleaning where foam isn't a concern, a standard-sudsing detergent may offer more visible cleaning feedback instead.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does foam level matter for automated equipment?
Excess foam in autoclaves, ultrasonic cleaners, and other automated washers can interfere with sensors, reduce mechanical cleaning action, and slow down rinsing, which is why a low-foam formula is specifically recommended for this equipment.
Does this detergent leave residue behind?
No, this formula is free-rinsing and designed to leave no interfering residue on cleaned surfaces or instruments.
Can this be used for general cleaning outside of automated equipment?
Yes, this is a general-purpose formula effective across a wide range of medical and laboratory cleaning applications, not limited strictly to low-foam-required machinery.
How much detergent should I use?
This is a super concentrated formula. Always follow the specific dilution ratio printed on the product label for accurate dosing.
