My patio cushion covers were covered in mould & algae – I got them looking brand new with a £1.50 buy

THE winter weather has left most of our gardens in a bad state.

Thankfully, a savvy woman has shared how you can revamp your patio furniture from last year for as little as £1.50.

Winnie Jo, from the UK, took to social media to share her nifty hack so you won't have to spend a fortune on new garden furniture this year.

She wrote: “Hack for patio cushion covers.

“If you've ever left them out and they have got covered in mould, don't get rid of them.

“Do this, it comes up like new.”

Winnie then went on to show viewers the state of her furniture covers which had been left outside in the elements.

While they kept her furniture sets clean and dry from the weather, they had taken a beating.

The protectors were now covered in mould and green algae that was tough to get off.

But Winnie had just the cleaning hack.

She took a bottle of the Astonish mould and mildew spray and sprayed it directly onto the stubborn stains.

Once applied to the fabric, she then used a Scrub Daddy brush to make sure it got into the fibers.

She left it to soak for a few minutes before scrubbing the solution off and the stain was gone.

“Oh, my God. Literally it took it away,” she exclaimed.

Not only that, Winnie also used it on her other furniture protectors to give them a deep clean instead of a spot clean.

She took a bucket of hot water and added in the Astonish mould and mildew cleaner inside.

She then took the covers and let them soak for a few hours.

Winnie was stunned to see just how well the easy hack worked.

“I cannot believe it. There is not one bit of green mould on any of them,” she said.

“So I would like to say, well done, Astonish mould and mildew.”

You can purchase the miracle spray for yourself for as little as £1.50 in Poundland.

The clip went viral on her TikTok account @winniejo_customised with over 75k views and people were eager to try the hack themselves.
