Disinfectant for Gardeners

Jeyes Fluid is an old gardeners favourite that can be used for a multitude of outdoor cleaning tasks.  It is perfect for clearing fungi, mould and algae from paths, greenhouse windows and patios as well as cleaning and disinfecting pots prior to planting. It is also used for cleaning animal housing.

I use Armillatox but ‘Under European legislation the active ingredients of all pesticides have to be reviewed, the cost of raising the data for the review is estimated to be £3 million – to a small company the cost is prohibitive. Therefore as from 25th July 2003, Armillatox has become ‘Armillatox Soap Based Outdoor Cleaner’ so taking it out of the pesticides regulations – the formulation remains the same. Armillatox is useful as a patio cleaner and for a wide range of other applications
