Selectline Cleaner

Ready for the next marking session.

Selectline Cleaner is a water-based cleaning solution developed to remove paint residue and internal build-up from line marking machines. It supports routine maintenance and more intensive cleaning of nozzles, hoses and other machine components.

Regular cleaning helps keep the paint circuit clear and the machine working well. It reduces the risk of residue affecting the next marking session. Choose the concentration to suit the cleaning task.

WHAT REMAINS INSIDE MATTERS

Paint can remain in suction rods, hoses, filters and nozzles after marking. If it dries, the residue can restrict flow, affect the spray pattern and make the machine harder to prepare for its next use.

Use Selectline Cleaner for routine flushing and more intensive maintenance. It also helps remove colored residue before switching back to white paint, reducing the risk of tinting the next line.

Frequently asked questions

How often should I clean my line marking machine?

Flush the machine with clean water immediately after each marking session, before the paint dries. Use Selectline Cleaner periodically for preventive maintenance, when switching from colored paint back to white and for heavily soiled components. Dried paint in hoses, filters and nozzles can cause blockages and disrupt the spray pattern.

Which dilution should I use for which cleaning job?

Three concentrations: 1:6 with water for routine cleaning and preventive maintenance, 1:1 for intensive cleaning of heavily soiled components, and undiluted for nozzles, hoses and persistent paint residue. Apply, allow approximately one hour to work, brush where necessary, then rinse thoroughly with clean water before returning the component to service.

Can I unblock a nozzle or a hose with Selectline Cleaner?

Yes. Remove the nozzle and filter according to the machine instructions. Soak them in undiluted Selectline Cleaner for about an hour, brush away loosened paint and rinse with clean water. Clean the inside where accessible. Never use a metal pin or wire to clear the nozzle opening: it can enlarge the opening and permanently affect the spray pattern and line width.

Is Selectline Cleaner safe to use, and how do I dispose of it?

Selectline Cleaner is a water-based, non-flammable solution. Wear protective gloves and safety glasses when handling it and avoid contact with skin and eyes. Read the Safety Data Sheet before first use for complete handling instructions. Dispose of unused product and packaging through an appropriate collection point for hazardous or special waste, not into a drain or onto the pitch.

How do I switch from a colored paint back to white without tinting the line?

Flush the machine before switching. Place the suction rod in clean water with Selectline Cleaner, open the priming valve and run the machine until the rinsing water runs clear, then flush the spray head. Remove the nozzle holder, nozzle and filter and clean them separately with undiluted Cleaner. Colored residue left in a hose or nozzle will tint the first metres of the next white line. Selectline Cleaner is suitable for internal and external components, so the same solution cleans the chassis and spray assembly.
