A common and cheap laundry product gets rid of moss and algae from patios and driveways, cleaning fans say. Many people say a green tinge develops in paved areas outside their homes during the cold and wet winter months as algae, lichens and moss develop.
This growth can be unsightly and also dangerous, as it can be slimy and slippery to walk on. When it comes to getting rid of this moss and algae, some homeowners might use a pressure washer or expensive chemicals.
However, fans of cleaning expert and social media influencer Sophie Hinchliffe - known online as Mrs Hinch - have found another solution. They said it is not only effective, but cheap - and it's easy, too, with no scrubbing required.
