Roundup® Weedkiller Total Optima is glyphosate free and comes in the iconic green pack you know and love. This product is a pre-mixed ready to use general purpose weedkiller and is ideal for use on weedy flower beds, vegetable patches and all around the garden.

The bottle is made from 50% recycled plastic and is all recyclable, along with the trigger.

Weed killer

Used this product over the space of a week at first it wasn’t killing the weeds just discolouring them but after a cpl more days use it taken the weeds totally away I was fine to use with my dog’s as long as it had dried but I only used overnight
Great stuff

I’ve been using Roundup Weedkiller Total for a few months now and overall it does what it promises. Weeds start to wither within a day or two and most are completely gone after a week. It’s easy to apply with the spray nozzle and I like that it works on a wide range of weed types even stubborn ones like dandelions and thistles.One downside is that it can kill grass and other nearby plants if you’re not careful so precise application is important. Also I wish it worked a bit faster on tougher patches.Overall a reliable product if you need a strong broad-spectrum weedkiller—just use it responsibly.
Smashing job!

Omg this product is amazing! The weeds I sprayed were already starting to die in a matter of hours and were completely dead the next day! Application was simple point and spray! Bottle is easy to use and great value for money and it doesn't harm the environment around you!
Very strong weed killer.
Reviewed on
An amazing weed killer! It is extremely strong and I didn’t realise how strong and fast working it would be but after spraying the weeds they started to wilt and die within the hour. A little definitely goes a long way with this product but it has been very effective. Would buy again.
Noticeable difference in a few days

This worked really well for getting rid of tough weeds. I noticed a big difference just a few days after spraying iIt’s easy to use.You do have to be careful where you spray because it’s strong and will kill anything it touches. Overall very effective.You need to wear gloves and it can cause irritation to eyes so googles are recommended. It's safe for animals and children once dry so I'd recommend using it on a sunny day .
Very effective after one application!
Reviewed on
I received this product for free from Influenster in exchange for my honest review.I was really impressed when I tried this Roundup weedkiller Total Optima spray. It worked with just one application and it was really easy to use.The cap is child-safe and you need to press quite hard down to open it. You spray it directly onto the plant on a dry day and after a few days the plants started to dry out and die.It made cleaning my paved areas around the house much easier and so far I haven't had any new weeds growing in the areas I sprayed. I'm hoping this will last.I'm really impressed and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for an effective and easy-to-use weedkiller.
Fast and effective!

Extremely effective and fast acting weed killer.I used this around my slabs and worked a treat.Pretty good value for money too!I personally prefer the pump sprays as they are less strenuous but the product itself is fantastic much better than other named brands I’ve used previously

Having sprayed the Dandelions that are growing through the gaps in the paving in the back yard it was nice to see that 48hrs later they were well and truly dead. I liked the effectiveness of this weedkiller from Roundup it does what it says it will do.
Quick fix to kill weeds

After a few days of applying the spray the weeds to dry out and die but it doesn’t keep them away and they do come back. It’s a quick fix rather than a permanent solution.

Effective quick working and pleasant smell
Reviewed on
This weed killer work well and fast. It sprays on well and leaves a white residue so that you can see where you have sprayed. It has a distinctive scent but more soapy than chemical so surprisingly pleasant. I sprayed the weeds in my garden on one afternoon and by the following afternoon they were all brown drooping and dead. Would definitely purchase this…I’ve already used the whole bottle which covered a good area but if need to fight more weeds I’ll be looking for this on the shelf for sure!

This is a fantastic weed killer that really works to get rid of pesky weeds. Now the weather is getting better the weeds have started growing so this is the perfect time to use it. I love how easy it is to use and how effective it is. It’s very easy to use you just simply spray and go. It’s very affordable for what you are getting and it’s very convenient.
Easy effective and a quick fix!

I was intrigued by the Roundup weedkiller as we've struggled with weeds on our front. I honestly couldn't believe how effective it was. I used gloves to apply and closed shoes as advised. It sprayed onto the weeds easily and has a safety part on the nozzle to close it after use. If you look at the before and after you can see how it eliminated the weeds. It was fast and effective. I'd recommend and definitely use it again.
Works very well.

This weed killer is very good it killed my weeds in just 5 days. The spray is very wide so you don’t need a lot weed killer on the weeds. The bottle and the trigger are recyclable which is good for the environment. The only thing that I can find fault with is that it is not pet friendly you have to keep animals away from it for at least two hours until it evaporates.
Brilliant value for money

Absolutely brilliant product. Will definitely be buying it again 💯 value for money. The spay bottle was easy to use and was very precise with the application. It worked over night and was very very effective. It’s seems to be non damaging to the environment around it too.
Magic in a bottle
Reviewed on
I was sceptical and now very impressed. Instructions are easy to follow but need to take precaution (ppe) and ensure kids and animals are not around. I got results in 5 days - weed of different kind is gone. You cannot use it more than 4 times a year as per instruction but looking on places where I’ve sprayed roundup it would not needed another go - goes far as only small amount needed.
A Fantastic Effective & Eco-Friendly Weedkiller!

We recently tried Roundup Weedkiller Total Optima and I must say this product exceeded our expectations! My father used it throughout our garden and he couldn’t be happier with the results.Within just a few hours we could already see the weeds wilting and by the next day they were completely dead. It worked quickly and efficiently even on stubborn weeds around the flower beds and vegetable patch.One of the standout features for us is that it’s glyphosate-free using pelargonic acid instead a much more environmentally friendly option. It also breaks down naturally in the soil which gave us peace of mind especially around our vegetable garden. Plus the bottle is made from 50% recycled plastic and fully recyclable including the trigger. A big win for the planet!It’s pre-mixed and ready to use which made it incredibly convenient no measuring or mixing needed. The spray trigger is easy to handle and it delivers a good even coverage.Since it’s glyphosate-free and breaks down quickly we felt much more comfortable using it around pets and children. And being able to replant in just 3 days is a huge bonus.Considering its fast action eco-friendly formulation and the fact that it saves hours of manual weeding it’s absolutely worth the price. One bottle covered a large area making it economical in the long run.All in all Roundup Total Optima has become a go-to in our gardening toolkit. My dad is thrilled with how simple and effective it is and we’ll definitely be buying it again!
