RHS announces first licensed range of cleaning and maintenance products

The Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) has announced the award of a licence to Assured Products Limited, a leading UK branded chemical manufacturer, for the first-ever RHS range of outdoor cleaning and garden maintenance products.

The range will include a weed killer, a moss killer, a path, patio and decking cleaner, a greenhouse cleaner, an outdoor fabric cleaner, an outdoor fabric protector, a UPVC cleaner and protector, bug and mildew control, a slug killer, and a wood preservative.

Every product will be housed in easy-to-use, clearly labelled containers or spray bottles, and all will contain the RHS logo. In addition, all will use natural ingredients where possible – an important factor in the choice of Assured Products Limited as an RHS partner.

For example, the new RHS Weed Killer and RHS Moss Killer use acetic acid, a component of vinegar, as a natural and effective ingredient that quickly kills weeds and moss. The RHS Path & Patio Cleaner is also from the acetic acid range, while the new RHS Artificial Grass Cleaner, RHS Greenhouse Cleaner and RHS Outdoor Fabric Cleaner, which use probiotic technology, harness bacillus bacteria to do the job of organic degradation, cleaning and odour control. The new RHS Bug and Mildew Control controls pests, deters powdery mildew, and nourishes and feeds the plant when it’s needed most. The new RHS Slug Killer is approved by organic growers and made from a ferric phosphate formula, ideal for the upcoming wetter months.

The range was launched at Glee, the UK’s most valuable garden and outdoor living trade show, at the NEC in Birmingham, where RHS announces firstlicensedrange of cleaning and maintenance productsit enjoyed a very positive response.  It is available at retail at garden centres and multi-site retailers as well as online.
