The Reddit user explained that using this hack will “see a difference in a few days”.
Other people shared their support for the unique technique in the comments section.
“Works well for that mossy, greeny growth you get around concrete and patios,” agreed one reader.
“This is the way. The preschool that I used to work in had access to an old public park. The gardener used Bold and it worked really well,” said another Redditor.

“It kills and dries out the moss in a few days. Sprinkle it like ‘Shake & Vac' on the moss, and relax for a few days. A light rain will speed things up too,” wrote one commenter.
“I know everyone’s saying it but just to reiterate it’s effectiveness as I’ve use it myself and it worked perfectly – washing powder,” said another Reddit user.
“Power washing will leave the spores. A biological washing powder will deactivate the spores [they are] so less likely or slower to return,” pointed out one reader.
They added that this step is also “a lot less nasty than fungicides”.
Washing powder works to remove moss as the surfactants in the powder break down the moss's protective layer.
More weed hacks
MORE cheap hacks to banish weeds from your garden for good.
BRUSH OFF: Gardening fans have raved about the Rolson Weed Brush, which you can buy from B&M.
One social media user commented: “This is my new friend. £4 from B&M”, whilst a second agreed: “I used one of these too and it's brilliant. It removes the whole weed too.”
BAKE IT: Gardening enthusiasts have also praised baking soda for tackling weeds.
One man explained: ”What will then happen is the plants will absorb it, as they get damp when it starts to rain because they're thirsty – because it's been sunny. That's nature's way of killing it.”
WASH THIS: According to Sam Marlow, a gardening expert, washing powder is an affordable way to say goodbye to weeds.
He advised: “If you’re on a budget, there’s a cheap way to keep weeds at bay. If you want to remove persistent unwanted plants from paths or patios, try using washing powder. It’s a super easy way to banish weeds once and for all.”;
This makes it easier to remove, while also deterring regrowth.
