BIOkleen AB

What BIOkleen AB does

BIOkleen AB (legal entity BIOkleen Milj\u00f6kemi AB) is a Swedish specialty chemical company founded in the early 1980s and headquartered in Vaggeryd, J\u00f6nk\u00f6ping, with manufacturing and R&D conducted at parent company OrganoClick AB's facilities in T\u00e4by. The company develops, manufactures and sells a broad range of environmentally certified cleaning, maintenance and treatment products for Swedish homeowners (DIY), professional tradespeople (Proffs) and vehicle owners. Its core technology is bio-based, biodegradable chemistry that replaces fossil-based solvents, executed through two engines: the silicon-based (kiselteknologi) Tr\u00e4skyddssystem 1+2+3 wood protection platform (a biocide-free three-step system delivering up to 10 years of durability for pressure-impregnated timber), and the broader Eco-series, which is certified by Naturskyddsf\u00f6reningens Bra Milj\u00f6val under OrganoClick's proprietary Made Green Inside methodology. Selected vehicle-care products additionally carry the Nordic Swan (Svanen) ecolabel.

The product portfolio spans three categories: Hus & Hem (deck/facade/roof cleaning, algae/mould removal, paint preparation, wood protection, odor and heat-pump cleaning, plus bio-based paint/graffiti removal and brush cleaning), Fordon (alkaline degreasers, petroleum-based cold degreasers, tixotropic cleaners and specialized vehicle detailing products for both consumer and professional use), and a digital consumption-calculator tool (app.biokleen.se). BIOkleen generates revenue through one-time product sales distributed primarily via a broad network of Swedish retail and building-supply chain partners (Ahlsell, Bauhaus, Bolist, Bygghemma, Hornbach, XL Bygg, Caparol/F\u00e4rggross, Woody, Nordsj\u00f6 and others), supplemented by its own e-commerce site and reach into select Nordic markets such as Finland. Pricing is unit-based at modest consumer price points (e.g., approximately 865 SEK inc. VAT for a 5L Trallskydd + Ytf\u00f6rsegling pack, ~40\u201350 SEK/m\u00b2 for full 1+2+3 deck treatment). Marketing is centered on the owned website with SEO and instructional content, Facebook and YouTube channels, retail point-of-sale materials, and a brand narrative anchored on Bra Milj\u00f6val and Svanen certifications.
