I’m a cleaning editor, and I’ve persuaded my whole team to buy this one thing for a spotless outdoor space on a budget

Garden area of a semi-detached house with a modern extension.

There’s a high chance that a lot of your upcoming plans, like mine, involve being outside in the garden. And while I’d love to say that I could simply laze in the sun without a care in the world, being Ideal Home’s cleaning editor means that I can’t relax if I can see dirty windows or Ketchup stains on my outdoor table. But since investing in a second mop, my outdoor space has been spotless.

Yep, it’s my job to test all of the best mops out there, and until recently, I’d spent the entirety of this testing time using them inside. After all, mops are primarily used to clean your interior floors - and they’re pretty good at it, too. But then I discovered that there were (many) things I didn’t know I could clean with a mop, so I decided to venture outside of indoor use to… well… the outside of my house.
