Wet & Forget, an environmentally gentle, scrub free, non-caustic, non-acidic, bleach-free cleaner debuted in America at the National Hardware Show after more than 30 years as a household name in Australia and New Zealand. As proof that Wet & Forget is a great product, suitable for any climate, it was honored with a Retailers’ Choice Award in Las Vegas.

Wet & Forget received this recognition from independent retailers, who scoured the show floor for exciting new trends and products. Sponsored by Hardware Retailing, the Retailers’ Choice Awards recognize the industry’s manufacturing community for its continued innovation.

Wet & Forget is a scrub-free exterior stain remover that safely cleans moss, mold, mildew and algae stains from outside surfaces of commercial and residential buildings, as well as concrete, pavement, decks, roofs, siding, awnings, patio furniture, boats, docks and virtually every outdoor surface imaginable. Wet & Forget is used to clean one of the world’s most famous structures, the Sydney Opera House. On top of this it is also extensively used at SeaWorld and in Australia by The National Parks and Wildlife Service and New Zealand’s Department of Conservation, Wet & Forget is safe for use next to all landscaping and plants.

“Judges are told to look for products that we think we could effectively sell in our stores, and I found Wet & Forget compelling for just that reason, it provides a solution, and an environmentally friendly one at that, to a problem that many of my customers have – moss, mold and mildew,” said Janice Westlund, owner of Bob’s Ace Hardware and Home Center in Rockford, IL and a panel judge for the Retailers’ Choice Awards. “I went home and immediately ordered Wet & Forget for my store.”

Wet & Forget is applied with one application using a simple pump garden sprayer and requires no scrubbing, rinsing or pressure washing. Once applied, the wind and rain take care of the rest. Significant results can be expected in as little as two weeks or up to six months. Once clean, surfaces only need a refresher application on occasion. Since Wet & Forget’s unique formula contains no bleach and is non-caustic and non-acidic, it has an unlimited shelf life.

Developed more than 30 years ago, Wet & Forget, the ultimate moss, mold, mildew and algae exterior stain remover has long been a favorite in New Zealand and Australia and is now available throughout the United States at select Costco and participating Ace Hardware & Do It Best hardware stores, TruValue, as well as a variety of national and independent home improvement and hardware stores.
