At the Khajoori Khas Chowk, with the Wazirabad Road frontage running down to the Yamuna, the borewell comes up so iron-tinged it stains the pale plastic walls it is stored in. That rust-coloured film gives algae a textured grip, and KaamGenie strips it back from ₹699.
Khajoori Khas spreads out from its busy chowk along the Wazirabad Road, builder floors and self-built houses packed on tight lanes by the river. Supply is overwhelmingly borewell, very hard and often noticeably iron-tinged, with minimal DJB reach. Stored in small rooftop plastic tanks, that iron leaves a rust-toned stain on the translucent walls that ordinary rinsing never lifts. The heavy tenancy across these floors means the tanks go long uncleaned, and the stain, scale and film accumulate together. What starts as a faint tint deepens into a rough, coloured coating inside the tank.
Our crew drains the tank, wet-vacuums the iron-rich sediment, jet-washes at plastic-safe pressure and hand-scrubs the stained walls before a anti-bacterial disinfectant finish and clear rinse, with before and after photos. Where the water is heavily iron-laden we will also suggest a filter, since a clean tank refilled from the same borewell will tint again. For a sump or concrete tank, see our full water tank cleaning in Khajoori Khas. This page is about Sintex and plastic tanks.
The borewell here carries enough iron to leave a rust-coloured film on the inside of a pale plastic tank. That stain is not just cosmetic: it roughens the smooth wall and gives biofilm and algae a surface to settle into. Combined with the light through the translucent plastic, the tint accelerates the fouling rather than masking it.
Hard water also lays mineral scale around the outlet, so scale and iron stain build together on the same walls. Iron-rich sediment settles thick at the base and lifts into the first draw each morning, colouring the water. With rented floors leaving tanks unopened for long stretches, the coating gets a deep hold that only a full scrub-out removes.
No travel charge anywhere in Khajoori Khas. The final price is confirmed on the call before we come — it depends only on tank size and access.

“Our water is rusty and the tank walls are stained, can you remove it?” Yes, we scrub out the iron stain and the biofilm that grips it during the clean. If the borewell itself is heavily iron-laden, we will also suggest a filter so it does not tint again.
“Is the rust colour dangerous or just unpleasant?” Iron mainly affects taste, colour and the tank walls, but the rough stain it leaves helps biofilm settle, which is the real concern. Cleaning removes both.
“Will a clean tank stay clear on this borewell?” The tank stays clean, but the same iron-rich water will slowly tint it again. A filter on the inlet is the lasting fix, and we can advise on one.
“How often should a plastic tank on iron-tinged water be cleaned?” Every three months keeps the stain and film from setting deeply. The longer it sits, the harder the coating is to shift.
“What does the clean cost for a standard rooftop tank?” From ₹699 up to 500 litres and ₹899 for 1000L. Call 95603 66362 and we confirm the rate for larger or multiple tanks.
