Safety and the environment

Is Monty safe around children, pets, grass and plants?

Following the process, the solution becomes safe for child and pets after rinsing, or after 10 minutes.

To protect lawns and plants while you clean:

  • Water any grass and plants next to the area first.
  • If flowerbeds or lawn border the surface, spray about 30cm from the edge and brush the solution up to the edge.
  • Keep pets and children indoors while the solution is on the ground, so it isn't walked onto furniture or carpets.
  • Rinse thoroughly, then give surrounding plants a final water.

Is Monty environmentally friendly?

Following the process, the solution will rapidly degrade leaving no residue.

Is Monty an acid?

No. Monty Miracle is a patented alkaline cleaner with a unique formula to break down dirt, grime, and slime in your garden.

Using Monty

What if I leave the cleaner on too long?

Leave Monty on the area for 6–10 minutes, as this is when it works best. Rinse off before the area dries, as letting it dry may leave some residue. If that happens, brush the dry area to remove as much residue as you can, then wash with warm, soapy water and a brush.

I have a large area to clean. How do I do it all in 10 minutes?

Work in sections. For 100 square metres, for example, clean 25 square metres at a time. Each section gets the best, most even clean and you can take your time.

How far does 5L of Monty go?

5 litres covers up to 20–25 square metres.

I haven't cleaned my patio in years. What can I expect?

Monty works on organic growth however long it has been there. For heavy build-up such as black spot, spray the solution and work it in with a soft brush so it reaches every gap, for a more even clean. Older, neglected areas may need a second application.

Black spot and other stains

I have black spots on my Indian stone. Will Monty work?

Yes, Monty works on Indian stone. If a few black spots remain after cleaning, give them a week or two to fade. Spots that have been bedded in for a long time may need a further application.

I jet wash every year. Why do black spots keep coming back?

Black spot is a living growth. Jet washing removes the surface but doesn't treat the growth itself, so it comes back. Monty treats the growth so the spots lighten and fade over the following weeks. When they start to return, a light coat of Monty keeps the area fresh and clean.

Will Monty remove white spots?

No. White spots are usually lichen, and Monty isn't designed to remove them. Monty targets black spot and other organic growth.

Will Monty remove oil or tyre stains?

No. Monty removes organic growth only, so it won't shift oil or tyre marks.
