HANDS up if your outdoor patio is looking a little worse for wear following a winter of torrential downpour and gusty winds?
Well, you're not alone! And if you're looking for a quick and affordable way to get your garden patio sparkling again, without forking out on a pricey jet wash, then look no further.
That's because homeowners have been going wild for a bargain buy from Wickes or Amazon, which claims to "effectively remove contaminants with no water washing or scrubbing required."
Delighted customers say 'Wet and Forget' will save the need to repaint or replace outdoor surfaces that have been contaminated by mould, lichen and/or algae.
It was recommended by a friend with a pristine patio and path, boy was I in for a surprise! It worked really well and much less mess and no splash back as with pressure washing.
Satisfied customer
Not only does it work a dream on the likes of patios, driveways and fencing, but it also contains no bleach or harsh chemicals and is almost PH neutral.
But while a 2l bottle retails at £18, one use should cost around £4.50 a time, as the liquid gets diluted.
