Gardening fans are racing to snap up a bargain that will remove stubborn algae from your fence – & there’s no scrubbing

GREEN-FINGERED Brits have revealed how to tackle green algae and remove it from your fence with no vigorous scrubbing.

After a harsh winter of snow, rain and wind, chances are your fence is looking a little worse for wear.

Luckily, there's no need to fork out for fancy cleaning products or spend a fortune on a pressure washer - the miracle key to a sparkling new fence be found in your local B&Q... and it will last for ages too.

A concerned cleaning fan took to Facebook where they asked asked fellow social media users if they knew how to remove green algae stains from their fence.

According to the person, no matter what they tried, the grim stains kept coming back ''like vengeance''.

Fortunately, they weren't short of responses, with many suggesting the same bargain buy - Wet & Forget - which, they insisted, required barely any effort at all.

One person wrote: ''Wet and Forget, spray on and leave it.''

Someone else agreed, adding: ''Wet and Forget, it works.''

A third was also raving about the product, which shoppers and gardening enthusiasts can order via Amazon as well.

''Wet and Forget every time.''

Although the 2l cleaning essential sells for £18.99 at B&Q, one use should cost around £4.50 a time, as the liquid gets diluted.

The effective formula of Wet & Forget is said to remove contaminants with no water washing or vigorous scrubbing required.

To banish the stubborn stains, simply apply the solution to the surface and 'forget about it'', as Wet & Forget wil' do the hard work for you.

''Our formula has an unlimited shelf life and is completely free from aggressive chemicals such as bleach and ammonia that can damage surfaces,'' reads the description online.

Not only does this product get rid of green algae, you can also use it to banish mould and mildew - and that's not all of it.

The non-bleach formula is perfect for cleaning any outdoor surfaces, whether it's roofs, bricks, natural stone pavers, headstones, patios, driveways, paintwork glass houses, solar panels, tarmac, artificial grass and more.

Don’t use pressure washer - ends up coming back worse

There were also plenty of other recommendations, such as using a mould remover spray, bleach mixed with water, as well as a special vinegar conconction.

''Scrub it with a vinegar water, hose it - gets rid of it but will need a coat of paint once dry.''

''Monty Miracle is good, expensive but works amazingly,'' a cleaning fan was raving about this £29.99 product.

However, whilst using a jet washer may seem like a quick and easy fix to tackle the issue, another member of the page explained why it's not the best of ideas.

They warned: ''Don’t use pressure washer - ends up coming back worse.''

Instead, the cleaning whizz suggested using ''good old mix of bleach and water in a spray bottle,, then spray directly on''.

The Sun previously told how gardening guru William Mitchell of Sutton Manor Nursery came to rescue with some alternative natural methods to help banish stubborn algae.

“Both vinegar and baking soda are extremely popular choices for general cleaning and disinfecting purposes, from worktops to laundry and more," he said, chatting to .

''Just make sure if you choose to use vinegar, that you use white vinegar in your solution."

To get rid of the unsightly mess using vinegar, he advised diluting it with water before spraying the solution onto the affected area.

He then recommended leaving it for 30 minutes to an hour, before giving it a good scrub and says it'll then reveal a "freshly cleaned” fence.
