Monty Miracle Returns To Saltex With Global Presence

Monty Miracle is returning to Saltex after securing US distribution at the 2023 show.

The exterior cleaning product made its debut at last year’s event and returns with a much larger presence, having set the wheels in motion to launch to consumers and tradespeople across the Atlantic in the coming months. This expansion is made possible thanks to a new partnership with US company AquaTerra.

The collaboration between Monty Miracle and Aqua Terra began at last year’s Saltex as the two companies were on adjacent stands. AquaTerra will serve as the distribution partner for Monty Miracle in the USA and Canada, with full training and management provided by the UK Monty Miracle team.

Peter Beaumont, director, said: “Saltex 2023 was a great success for us – as well as being recognised in the showcase, we had the pleasure of speaking to some of the best in the business, meaning we were able to build on our successful presence in the UK groundskeeping trade and secure international distribution.”

Monty Miracle is used by groundskeepers and professional gardeners across the UK as it is proven to eliminate black spot, algae, lichen and other organic stains on most external hard surfaces including stone, wood, plastic, concrete resin and coated metals.

Perfect for pathways, walls, seating, decking, fencing and steps, Monty Miracle completely neutralises following the cleaning process and is fully degradable so it can be hosed off safely – essential when a quick clean across a range of materials is needed.

The product was created by Martin Beaumont, who combined his experience of working with English Heritage and Shell to produce the perfect chemical cleaner: kinder to a wide range of surfaces, with better, longer lasting results. Easier and quicker to use, it needs no aggressive jetwash or scrubbing, taking just 10 minutes to break down organic stains before rinsing with water.

Peter concludes: “Aggressive jetwashing can erode sealant and remove the surface layer of stone, leaving it exposed and vulnerable to further damage and decay – far from ideal in high traffic, exposed areas like sports grounds and courses which can have several steps and paths! Our alternative is proven to offer a simple, gentle, more effective solution that is so much quicker – and we have a range of five-star reviews and excellent online sales figures to prove it.

“We are really looking forward to this year’s Saltex, and meeting with fellow exhibitors, guests and delegates.”
