Description
The Certol ProWash Multipurpose Detergent and Cart Wash is the neutral pH generalist of the Spec Clean line: one concentrate for manual instrument cleaning, ultrasonic baths, cart washing and general department surfaces. It is also the manufacturer’s cited alternative where ophthalmic instrument guidance rules out enzymatic detergents.
- True Multipurpose Formula – Instruments, carts and general cleaning share one concentrate, which shrinks the chemical shelf and the training list.
- Ophthalmic Safe Positioning – The manufacturer cites ASORN guidance in positioning ProWash as the non enzymatic alternative for ophthalmic instrument processing.
- Anodized and Soft Metal Safe – The formula is described as safe on aluminum, anodized aluminum, gold, brass and copper, the metals that punish harsh detergents.
Neutral Detergent for Instruments, Carts and General Cleaning
Every department has cleaning jobs that are not instrument loads: case carts, counters, sinks and equipment surfaces. ProWash covers those jobs and instrument cleaning in one neutral pH concentrate listed for manual, ultrasonic, automated and cart wash use. Ophthalmic programs take special note, because the manufacturer positions ProWash for sets where guidance discourages enzymes. This listing offers the gallon with metered pump and the 5 gallon with spigot for cart wash stations. Facilities consolidating vendors and chemicals without giving up documented products are the natural fit.

Why Choose ProWash Detergent
Chemical consolidation usually means accepting a weaker product somewhere. ProWash avoids that trade because its multipurpose brief is the manufacturer’s own, with named uses and material safety in writing. It also solves the ophthalmic detergent problem that most generalists cannot touch.
- One Documented Generalist – Four named use areas in the manufacturer’s documentation beat four improvised substitutions.
- Ophthalmic Program Fit – The non enzymatic positioning follows published ophthalmic guidance, a differentiator few detergents can claim.
- Cart Wash Included – Case carts get the same documented chemistry as instruments, simplifying audits.
- Format Choice – Pump gallon for sinks and spigot pail for cart stations cover the building’s two dispensing styles.
