Turning Up the Heat on Weeds: How Hot Water Stands Up to the Proof
When it comes to weed control, many methods compete for attention — chemical sprays, foams, mechanical removal. But one method stands out not because it’s new, but because the science backs it: hot water weed control . Morclean’s evidence and testing section shows exactly why this method is not just viable, but often superior. Let’s walk through the evidence, the experiments, and what it all means for organisations seeking a more sustainable, effective alternative. How Does Hot Water Weed Control Work? At its core, the principle is elegantly simple. Hot water is an excellent transmitter of thermal energy — and when correctly applied, the heat can destroy the internal cellular structure of weeds, including roots, effectively “cooking them from the inside out.” Morclean’s system delivers controlled, low-pressure hot water via applicators that target the vegetation, with the aim of disrupting growth without harming surrounding areas. Because it’s purely thermal, there are no chem...
