Weeds, pests, and diseases can spread through equipment and vehicles, either directly or by carrying plant material, invasive insects and animals, soil, or manure.
The importance of maintaining the highest level of hygiene standards cannot be overstated. This proactive approach helps prevent the introduction and spread of harmful invasive species, safeguarding the health and productivity of our agricultural industry and more importantly, our natural fauna and flora.
Cleanpass Services provides expert Weed & Seed inspection, biosecurity cleaning, and phytosanitary compliance support for machinery, vehicles, and equipment moving across borders or being exported. We work across the East Coast of Australia and follow importing-country requirements and Australian biosecurity guidelines to reduce the risk of invasive seeds, soil, pests, and pathogens.
Our rigorous clean-down and inspection reduce downtime at border checks, protect your asset value, and help prevent the spread of weeds, pests, and diseases safeguarding agricultural productivity and Australia’s unique ecosystems.

Biosecurity is a critical responsibility for anyone traveling to agricultural lands or across Australian state and territory borders. To be truly effective, biosecurity preparedness must be completed well in advance of arrival, maintained during transit, and carried over post-border.
Depending on your destination, you may be required to have a:
These documents certify that your vehicle or equipment meets strict biosecurity standards.
Australia’s unique landscapes, native flora, fauna, and valuable ecosystems are under constant threat from invasive species. These species, including weeds, pests, and diseases, are a major source of economic and social harm. Vehicles and machinery especially commercial vehicles, agricultural equipment, earthmoving, and plant machinery are significant contributors to the spread of these invaders.
The Economic Impact:
According to a CSIRO report, the annual cost of controlling invasive weeds, seeds, and pests in Australia is more than $24.5 billion. Over the last 60 years, the total cost has reached an estimated $390 billion. This not only affects forestry and agricultural productivity but also leads to rapid land degradation and impacts social outcomes.

Weed & Seed Cleaning completed in preparation for transportation to the Argyle Diamond Mine in Western Australia.
A vehicle is considered clean only when all organic material has been removed. This includes:
Failing to remove these materials can introduce invasive species into previously unaffected areas, causing devastating effects on native species, biodiversity, and waterways.
There are significant penalties for negligent spreading of noxious weeds and pests. Making false declarations or deliberately non-compliant actions can result in fines of up to $40,000, depending on the state or territory.
It’s crucial to select a Weed & Seed Inspection and Cleaning service provider with the appropriate training, certification, skills, and equipment. The provider must be committed to preventing the introduction of invasive species, thereby protecting our natural heritage and ensuring the longevity of our agricultural sectors.

Yes, we are qualified to perform nationally accredited third-party Weed & Seed Inspections, Cleaning, and issue Compliance Certificates.
We have the necessary expertise and certifications to ensure that your equipment not only meets all national biosecurity standards, but exceeds them wherever possible.
It’s crucial to recognise that once your vehicle, machinery, or plant equipment has been inspected, cleaned, and issued a Weed & Seed biosecurity compliance certificate, it must arrive at the inspection point in the same condition as when the certificate was issued. If your vehicle, machinery, or plant equipment is used after certification, it may no longer meet compliance standards.
To maintain biosecurity compliance, every effort must be made to ensure that the condition of the equipment remains unchanged from the point of certification to the point of inspection. This diligence helps prevent the spread of invasive species and protects both your operations and the environment.
Yes, we frequently use cleaning detergents and a variety of chemicals to ensure thorough Weed & Seed cleaning. The cleaning requirements can vary significantly depending on the type of equipment, which ranges from light private and commercial vehicles to heavy trucks, plant machinery, farming equipment, and numerous other types of accessories and machinery.
Some equipment requires only minimal use of detergents, while others need more specialised detergents and specifically engineered chemicals to effectively remove heavy, set-in debris and soil. Our team carefully selects the appropriate cleaning agents for each job to achieve the best results while maintaining the integrity of your equipment.
The service, or services vary.
In rare instances, some clients prefer to handle their own cleaning. While we generally do not recommend this unless the client is qualified, we do offer third-party inspection and certification in these cases. With that said, in every instance to date clearance has been denied due to the fact a more comprehensive clean was needed to meet compliance standards.
In most cases, our clients opt for a comprehensive service package that includes inspection, cleaning, and biosecurity clearance. This all-in-one solution ensures that all equipment meets or exceeds national biosecurity standards, eliminating the risk of non-compliance.
While a pressure cleaner can potentially damage almost any type of surface, our team is highly skilled in determining the appropriate pressure levels for different components of vehicles and plant machinery. We can adjust both the pressure and flow rate, utilising a wide range of nozzles and attachments to provide the right level of water contact for each surface.
Certain components, such as radiators, air intakes, LCD screens, plastic and rubber parts, electrical contact points, hydraulic hoses, mirrors, and decals, require special attention during cleaning. Our expertise ensures that these sensitive areas are treated with the appropriate level of care whilst ensuring compliance requirements are fulfilled.
We plan and execute each cleaning job meticulously, protecting your assets and ensuring they remain in optimal condition.
The single most important question to ask, though is never asked.
While Weed & Seed cleaning is typically safe, accidents can happen. It’s essential that the business and its employees carry comprehensive insurance to protect against any liabilities or damages. To safeguard yourself in the rare event of an issue, always ask about the company’s insurance coverage.

Holding a Weed & Seed Hygiene Declaration or Vehicle Hygiene Inspection Report does not guarantee automatic unconditional entry.
The driver or owner must be aware of their responsibilities, especially from the point of picking up their assets to transporting them to the intended destination.
Remembering, be truly effective, weed, seed, pest, and disease hygiene must be maintained post-border arrival as well to be truly effective.

Pressure Washer and High Pressure Cleaners are used exclusively to perform Weed & Seed Cleaning tasks.
So, that said, not all pressure washers are created equal. Pressure cleaning systems are divided into two distinct categories being cold water pressure washers and hot water pressure washers.
Hot water pressure washers, while significantly more expensive than cold water units, are technically advanced and more versatile. For this reason alone, there are far fewer operators providing hot and steam weed & seed cleaning services.
Hot water pressure washers are far more technically advanced and far more flexible than their cold water counterparts. They are safe and non-polluting and cut through grease, oil and set-in soil and debris far more effectively and efficiently.
They are safe, non-polluting, and more effective at cutting through grease, oil, and set-in soil and debris. The key advantage of using hot water and steam for Weed & Seed Cleaning is their superior thermal weed control. Steam temperatures above 160°C are applied for a few seconds, causing the weeds’ internal moisture to expand and rupture cell membranes, leading to rapid dehydration and death.
The weeds proteins change, break up and are no longer able to fulfil their functions.
We are know for our exception Weed & Seed Cleaning Services and the highest level of biosecurity compliance. We have extraordinary problem-solving skills, a friendly attitude, extensive product service knowledge, and excellent time management skills.
No other service compares to the exceptional outcomes achieved through thermal weed and seed control, as well as thermal invasive insect control.
