GS-4     

A cleaning agent for glass greenhouses that removes dirt, dust, soot and other contamination without brushing. Simply spray on the correct concentration and rinse with water within 5 minutes for a clean, undamaged surface. 

Suitable for glass greenhouses only, used on both the inside and outside. Also used to remove AntiReflect at the end of its useful life. A double-concentrated version, GS-4 Xtra, is available for heavier contamination

A Deep Clean for Greenhouse Glass  

Dirty glass doesn't just block light, it also gives fungi, bacteria and viruses a place to survive and spread. GS-4 removes dirt, dust, soot and organic materials without brushing, simply by spraying on the correct concentration and rinsing with water, restoring the glass to a clean, clear surface.

GS-4 works on both the inside and outside of the greenhouse, though the greenhouse must be empty and crop-free when applying it inside. It produces no chemical vapor effect during use, but is a strong product, so protective gloves, safety glasses and clothing are needed when handling it. It's also used to remove AntiReflect from the glass at the end of its useful life.

Quick Rinse Process 

GS-4 only needs to sit briefly on the glass before rinsing, usually within about 5 minutes, keeping the whole cleaning process fast and simple without any brushing or scrubbing. 

3yrs

Shelf Life 

 Unopened cans of GS-4 stay effective for up to 3 years, as long as they're stored in a cool, well-ventilated place, protected from frost and overheating.

Decades of R&D 

ReduSystems has been developing greenhouse coatings and cleaners since 1986, with decades of research and testing behind every product, including GS-4.

Application

Apply to a dry surface using a machine or a hand spray gun. Allow the product to react briefly, but don't let it dry on the glass, then rinse thoroughly with clean water within about 5 minutes.

Only use above 5°C, and avoid sunny weather since the product will dry too fast and can damage the glass. If applying on the inside, the greenhouse must be empty and crop-free. 

Coverage and Dosage

For light contamination, dilute at 1:19: use 5 cans per hectare (2 cans per acre), mixed with 1,900 litres of water per hectare (201 US gallons per acre).

For heavy contamination, dilute at 1:9: use 10 cans per hectare (4 cans per acre), mixed with 1,800 litres of water per hectare (190 US gallons per acre). Either way, the product and water together add up to around 2,000 litres of spray liquid per hectare (roughly 211 US gallons per acre) when applying by machine. 

Important Remarks

GS-4 is suitable for glass greenhouses only, not plastic, acrylate or polycarbonate. Do not use on coated glass, or near fluorine-sensitive crops such as bulbs and tubers. For tempered glass, test a small area first and check clarity after rinsing.

If applying on the inside, the greenhouse must be empty and crop-free. GS-4 is a strong product, so protective gloves, safety glasses and clothing should be worn when handling it.

Why ReduSystems 

The Right Solution for Every Season

Light is the most variable factor in greenhouse growing, yet many growers do not yet use it fully throughout the year. We help growers protect, improve and adjust crop performance in every season, with a solution matched to each stage of the growing cycle.

With decades of experience in light spectra, PAR and photosynthesis, we adapt every solution to the grower's crop, greenhouse and location. Our advice is based on science and real-world results, not guesswork.

Frequently asked questions

What surfaces can GS-4 be used on?

GS-4 is suitable for glass greenhouses only. It's not suitable for plastic, acrylate or polycarbonate greenhouses.

Do I need to empty the greenhouse to use GS-4?

Only when applying on the inside. GS-4 can be used on the outside of the greenhouse at any time, but interior application requires an empty, crop-free greenhouse. 

How is GS-4 applied?

GS-4 is diluted with water and sprayed onto the glass by machine or by hand with a spray gun. Allow it to react briefly, then rinse thoroughly with clean water within about 5 minutes. 

What's the difference between GS-4 and GS-4 Xtra?

GS-4 Xtra is a double-concentrated version of GS-4, so it takes about half the product for the same level of contamination. Both are suitable for glass greenhouses only. 

Can GS-4 remove ReduSystems coatings?

GS-4 is used to remove AntiReflect specifically, at the end of its roughly 2-year useful life. It does not remove the seasonal shading or diffusion coatings, such as ReduSol, ReduHeat or ReduFuse, those are removed with ReduClean or ReduClean for diffuse coatings instead. 

What weather conditions are best for applying GS-4?

Apply above 5°C, and avoid sunny weather, since the product will dry too fast in direct sun and can damage the glass if it isn't rinsed off in time.
