Monty Miracle celebrates record growth with new listings, accolades and products
GTN Xtra Promotion

Monty Miracle is celebrating huge successes, with five new listings and a revenue increase of 500% y/o/y – with a 100% score and Best Buy rating from independent consumer champion Which?.


The highly regarded outdoor cleaner has just been stocked in QD Stores, Cherry Lane Garden Centres and British Garden Centre Group, as well as MKM Building Supplies.

 

2026 Q1 saw the product’s listing stores increase by 270% across the whole of the UK, with the new 750ml and 2L bottles accounting for 25% of the growth.

 

All new customers have taken the Monty Miracle in-store merchandise units, with the eye-catching stand design and supporting marketing drawing shoppers in and driving strong sell-through from launch.

 

“This has been a fantastic start to the year for the team, and it is down to their hard work, research and of course the power of the product,” says Director Peter Beaumont. “We listened to what our customers had to say and we invested in cleaner, more impactful packaging, in-store sales tools and targeted marketing to drive traffic into store to buy.”

 

Monty Miracle works on a range of outdoor surfaces helping to lift and remove dirt, grime and other organic stains in minutes from stone, brick, render, wood, upvc, concrete & more, making it the ideal option for keeping driveways, paths, patios, fences, outdoor furniture, ornaments and walls. The product comes in a large 5L bottle, a 2L bottle and a 750ml spray bottle for more detailed, smaller tasks and the range also includes a Sealant to keep cleaned surfaces protected for longer, as well as Monty Miracle Artificial Grass Cleaner, which is the perfect product to rejuvenate and fragrance artificial grass.

 

The outdoor cleaner has recently been recognised with a Best Buy from Which? with a 100% score making it the best outdoor cleaning product on the market and has gained rave reviews from Good Housekeeping and Ideal Home, the latter praising it for getting decking looking “as good as new” - and the team is looking to capitalise on this ongoing rise in popularity by creating seasonal packs to continue to drive sales for retail customers through the Autumn period.

 

“It’s a hugely exciting time for the business,” says Peter. “We have millions of engagements on social media and are still expanding into North America as well as all over the UK. The team will be returning to leading trade shows GLEE this year with even more products and partnerships and we’re looking forward to conversations with our new, existing and potential retail customers about how we can support them as they sell our range.”
