Retain Organic Pruning Tool Treatment Spray
One Diseased Cut. Your Entire Garden at Risk.
RETAIN is an organic pruning tool treatment that cleans, lubricates, and prevents rust on garden tools while controlling plant disease transfer.
The Hidden Threat On Your Pruning Tools
Most gardeners don’t realize pruning shears & saws can spread disease. Contaminated tools easily transfer harmful pathogens, which can survive on metal for weeks. Each cut creates a direct entry point, and by the time symptoms appear, the infection has often already spread to other plants.
Pathogens Survive Longer Than You Think
Fungal spores and bacteria can live on metal surfaces for weeks, remaining ready to infect the next plant you prune.
Pruning Creates Open Wounds
Every cut forms an entry point, allowing pathogens direct access to a plant’s internal system.
Symptoms Appear Too Late
Wilting, spotting, or discoloration often show up long after infection has taken hold — and after spread has occurred.
Bleach Damages Tools
While bleach kills pathogens, it corrodes metal, dulls blades, and can irritate or burn skin.
Rubbing Alcohol Works Too Fast
Alcohol evaporates too quickly for effective pathogen termination.
Soap and Water Aren’t Enough
Soap removes dirt and debris but does not contain the antimicrobial strength needed to eliminate harmful bacteria or fungal spores and causes tool rusting.
The RETAIN Difference:
4-in-1 Professional Protection
Created by a professional landscape gardener to eliminate the compromises of traditional sanitization, RETAIN is the first organic, tool-safe, single-step solution that cleans, sanitizes, lubricates, and protects.
- Sanitize (The Pathogen Kill): Powered by
1% pure oregano oil, RETAIN is lab-proven to inhibit the growth of Fusarium oxysporum—one of the toughest plant pathogens—at the same rate as 10% bleach.
- Clean (Surface Preparation): Plant-based detergents break down tree sap and other debris that harbor pathogens, gum up blades and hinder cutting performance.
- Lubricate (Peak Performance): Food-grade mineral oil ensures your tools open and close smoothly, reducing hand fatigue while pruning or trimming.
- Protect (Rust Prevention): A proprietary corrosion inhibitor creates a microscopic barrier against moisture, extending the life of quality tools by years.
