Mrs Hinch fans swear by 30p hack to ‘melt away’ and kill moss almost instantly with no faff involved
IF YOUR garden is full of moss, you’ve come to the right place.
Not only is moss on your driveway a bit of an eyesore, it can also be a slip hazard too, so it’s crucial that you clean it up and get rid of it as soon as possible.
With Spring finally arriving in the UK, Mrs Hinch fans have taken to social media to share their top tips to get rid of moss.
And the best part, there’s no scrubbing involved and don’t worry, you won’t have to go out and splash the cash on a pressure washer either.
Posting on the Mrs Hinch Cleaning Tips Facebook page, Manda Jayne asked fellow cleaning enthusiasts for the best methods to kill moss.
She wrote: “Any advice would be greatly received.
“Can anyone suggest what I can use to get rid of the green moss and gunge on the floor from our paving blocks in the garden?
“Please bear in mind that we do have a small dog who likes to explore, so no harsh chemicals.
“Also, we don’t own a pressure washer or know anyone with one. Thank you in advance.”
The post attracted many comments from users recommending a variety of clever hacks.
Many of which suggested using kitchen cupboard staple – white vinegar.
One cleaning whizz commented: “Dilute white vinegar with water, about one part vinegar and 10 parts water.
“Let it sit on the patio for a while and it should melt away with a brush, no scrubbing needed.”
Whilst another cleaning fan recommended using white vinegar, to “kill the moss” on any hard surface.
When poured onto the moss, the acetic acid present in white vinegar will kill any moss present within a matter of minutes.
You can nab a bottle of white vinegar from a variety of retailers, including Wilko for £1.50 and Ocado for £2.
One bottle of the household essential from Wilko should last for at least five patio cleans, depending on how big the space is.
This equates to as little as 30p per use.
As such, this quick and easy hack is a very affordable cleaning solution.
Not only will white vinegar banish moss, but it can also be used to clean decking too.
