My patio was covered in stubborn moss but I banished it in 10 minutes thanks to a 35p hack – with no pressure washer

TWO experts have shared how to get rid of moss from your patio without pressure washer - and it takes just ten minutes.

Soft and green, moss creates valuable habitats for beetles and woodlice, and it is also a source of food for caterpillars.

As well as taking over lawns, moss is particularly common on patios, covering slabs and stones in a green blanket - and if this is something you struggle with, you've come to the right place.

Although using a pressure washer might save you time - and energy - this appliance can cause damage to patios if used the wrong way.

Luckily, two experts have come to rescue with an easier and cheaper alternative - and the secret solution is already sitting in your kitchen.

Rafi also advised green-fingered Brits to start the patio makeover by clearing the area before making the DIY concoction, which costs just 35p.

The pro urged to remove any outdoor furniture, BBQs and potted plants, and then give the patio a thorough sweep with a push broom.
