An Eco Friendly Approach to Weeding!

Morclean are developing equipment to tackle the problem of weeds using JUST hot water. 

Killing and Controlling Weeds using JUST Hot Water

Weeds are a common problem in gardens and outdoor spaces. Many of the chemical solutions and weed killers actually come with health and environmental risks. This is something that the government is well aware of - in fact the quote below from nfuonline.com is in reference to using a chemical found in most weed killers:

On the NFU (National Farmer's Union) Website - 

"Glyphosate is currently authorised for use in the EU until 15 December 2023, 
following an extension to the renewal assessment process in 2022. 
In the UK, the current expiry date is December 2025, following a three-year
extension as the UK’s post-Brexit pesticides regulatory regime is developed."







Hot Water Weed Control - How Does it Work?

Weeds can adapt to various and challenging conditions, making them very difficult to eliminate.
However Morclean have developed powerful water technology that can safely remove weeds, 
without the use of harsh or damaging chemicals. 

Hot water, when applied effectively, can be a efficient way of removing weeds safely. 
The intense heat and power damages the weed's cell structure. 
This is particularly useful for weeds growing in cracks in between paving slabs, 
pavements and other hard to reach areas. 




The Advantages of Morclean Hot Water Weed Control

Traditional chemical herbicides can leave harmful residues in the soil and water sources, 
which can be damaging for plants, animals and humans! Hot water does not contain any harmful substances,
and is a much more environmentally safe way of weed removal. 

Not only that, but it is much more cost effective. No need for the harsh chemicals that can be expensive. Purchasing a high power pressure cleaner, you can use it any time with just water - no need for any other costly products. 

They are very easy to use. Morclean's range will include hot water applications that are easily portable, with extendable hoses and a long trigger wand, which all makes them very convenient to get to all hard to reach places. 




Tips On How To Use Hot Water as a Weed Killer

To help to maximise the effectiveness of hot water weed control, we have come up with a few tips for the best results:

  • Sunny days can work in combination with the hot water to be more effective! 
  • Direct the hot water specifically on to the weeds themselves - avoiding your delicate or sensitive plants as it could cause damage
  • It may take more than one application to completely eliminate some more hardy weeds with thicker roots - regularly monitor the treated areas and reapply as necessary. 
  • Always take safety precautions! Hot water can scald so wear protective clothing and be mindful of others in the area.

Morclean are looking forward to revealing this new range in the distant future. Another innovative solution to a problem that is very common!
