I gave my grotty patio a glow-up on a budget – it was was covered in algae until I used a £9 buy from Wilko
A MAN has revealed how he gave his grotty patio a full glow-up using a cheap buy from Wilko.
Keith showed how his outdoor space was in need of some TLC as it was covered in algae and “very slippy.”
In a YouTube clip, Keith said: “Today in the garden I’m going to be doing this – Jeyes outdoor cleaner.
“This is concentrated so you add water and it does 90sqm.
“I’m going to do my path today because it’s getting really slippy now, it’s full of algae.
“It all needs doing.
“I keep slipping over when it is wet.”
Keith said he picked a dry day and opted for Jeyes cleaner as it “kills and prevents re-growth of mould, algae & mildew on all hard surfaces.”
Although he was using it on his path, it can also be used on wooden decking, patios and driveways.
He added 150ml of the cleaner to four litres of water and then sprayed it over his dirty pathway.
Keith, who posts under Old Food Guy, said: “I’m just going to wet it all and let it soak in for a half hour.
“After applying two coats, he then scrubbed the path with a broom.
“Now I’ve got my jet wash and we are going to give it a blast.
“It’s coming up nice and easy.”
Once it had dried, the path looked gleaming and much cleaner.
People were quick to take to the comments and praise his hard work.
One person wrote: “Keith l think garden cleaner was amazing l like jeyes it’s been around for years and also nice smell perfect job.”
Another added: “Good job Keith.”
And a third commented: “You done a good job there.”
