‘Works like magic’, homeowners rejoice over £4.50 product that cleans algae off patio slabs – & there’s no scrubbing

FANS of Mrs Hinch have discovered a bargain product that gets rid of green algae from their patios in minutes without any vigorous scrubbing.

With the weather being extra humid these last few days, it's no surprise that most of our garden furniture, wooden fences and even patio slabs have turned green thanks to algae.

Fortunately, super fans of the cleaning sensation, Mrs Hinch - also known as Sophie Hinchliffe - have come to rescue with a rather nifty solution that doesn't cost a fortune.

Instead of spending hours scrubbing the area, fellow cleaning enthusiasts advised to use a special product that ''works like magic''.

One fan of the cleanfluencer, Jenna Leigh, took to Facebook after noticing her patio had become bright green and sought tips and tricks from others.

Sharing a snap of the outdoor space, the woman wondered: ''Any advice what’s best to clean these outdoor stones?

''Miss from the trees at the back of us,'' she wrote in the caption of her post.

Although her post was soon inundated with a number of responses, ranging from Mrs Hinch's beloved Pink Stuff, as well as ''cheap washing powder''.

However, several people advised a less-known cleaning product - Wet & Forget, which you can bag from Wickes.

Although the 2l cleaning essential sells for £18, one use should cost around £4.50 a time, as the liquid gets diluted.

''It effectively removes contaminants with no water washing or scrubbing required, simply apply to the surface and forget about it. Let Wet & Forget do the hard work for you,'' reads the description online.

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

Not only does this product tackle grim algae, you can also use it to banish mould and mildew, and the non-bleach formula is perfect ''for cleaning any outdoor surface such as roofs, bricks, natural stone pavers, headstones, patios, driveways, paintwork glass houses, solar panels, tarmac, artificial grass and more''.

To make you patio sparkle like brand new, ''simply saturate desired surface with solution and wait for product to work its magic''.

The product has already become a major hit amongst fellow cleaning enthusiasts, who couldn't stop raving about the £18 buy.

One said: ''To treat algae, Wet and Forget. Works a treat. You need to allow a few days for it to work though.''

''Wet & Forget without a doubt,'' someone else chimed in.

''Wet and Forget is brilliant,'' a third fan of the cleaning buy said.

Another chimed in: ''Wet and Forget is brilliant, it takes a couple of months to see a difference.

''Mine was much worse than yours and it’s clear now after about six months, don’t use it when it’s going to rain in the next few days.''
