They have been busy delivering supplies around the Island and now have enough stock to offer supplies for sale to the public (whilst still continuing to supply key workers).

Priced at £15 per litre, the product named Wight Wash is available at several outlets on the Isle of Wight.

  • Lesley’s Nutshell – Ventnor (open 12-2pm, Wed – Sat)
  • Farmer Jack’s – Arreton
  • Harveys – Yarmouth
  • Nettlestone Stores – Nettlestone
  • Post Office – St Helens
  • Brownriggs Farm Shop – Godshill
  • McColls – Ryde

From Monday (6th April) it will also be available at:

  • Orchard Stores – Freshwater
  • Healthy Indulgence – Cowes

They urge customers to use biocides safely and read the label before use.
