IF your garden furniture is looking a little worse for wear, a simple trick can revitalise it. And all you need for this DIY hack is a budget-friendly household item. Advertisement 2 A garden furniture expert revealed the DIY hack you can use to refresh your outdoor pieces (stock image) Credit: Getty If you're looking to refresh your patio set-up, repurposing this home essential will do the trick. One garden furniture expert revealed that a discarded toothbrush will make all the difference in your cleaning caddy. It can help in restoring weathered garden furniture to its former glory, and save you money on expensive cleaning products in the process. And with the warm summer weather leading to an increase in al fresco dining and outdoor entertaining, there's no better time to transform your patio furniture. Advertisement Read More On Cleaning Hacks Since the often damp conditions of the British climate can cause grime to accumulate on wooden furniture, it's important to take action sooner rather than later. Expert opinion "The unpredictable British weather can leave garden furniture looking less than its best at times," rarden furniture expert Bradley Spencer told To combat dust, dirt, and grime, the pro suggested using gentle cleaning methods for wooden outdoor furniture. And while a combination of water and mild soap on a sponge can work, dilute white vinegal solution is recommended for "tackling any stubborn dirt".

According to the expert, it can "remove dirt and loose debris from crevices".

How to clean your garden soft furnishings CLEANING your outdoor furniture and furnishings is a relatively easy task, and requires household items already in your cupboards. Here's what you'll need, according to gardening expert Daniela Venturini from What you'll need include: A soft bristle brush A bucket of warm water Mild laundry detergent or washing up liquid White vinegar A clean damp microfibre cloth A clean dry towel Clear your furniture of excess debris Before cleaning your outdoor furniture ensure that the surfaces are free from excess debris and dirt from your garden, and remove any outdoor cushion covers where possible, as this will make the cleaning process much easier. Wash down furniture with warm soapy water In a bucket of warm water, add a few drops of mild laundry detergent or washing up liquid to create your cleaning solution. For any tougher stains, such as harsh water stains or mildew, apply undiluted white vinegar to any stains and let it sit for about an hour in the sun. 3.

After scrubbing, take a clean damp microfibre cloth and ensure that all detergent and soap suds are removed from your garden furniture. After cleaning, take a clean towel and absorb the majority of moisture off your garden furniture and then simply leave in the sun to dry.

I have 45 siblings and five step-mums – we grew up in a caravan with no aircon & I met my husband in a polygamous cult
GROWING up in a big family is one thing but this woman's childhood was unlike anything most people could imagine. Ashleigh Sandmire, 29, was raised in a secretive polygamous cult in the 3 Ashley Sandmire spoke about her experience on the We're All Insane podcast Credit: Youtube/ We're All Insane 3 Ashley Sandmire grew up in a polygamous cult Credit: Instragram/ ashleigh_sandmire 'There are probably more, maybe a little less, but we just stick with the number 45,' Ashleigh revealed on the Born in 'In winter my mum would turn the oven on and we'd all huddle around it for warmth,' she said. 'In summer, it was just hot and sticky but that's all we knew.' Read more on polygamy Ashleigh's mum was wife number two and had 12 children of her own. She says babies were born close together, sometimes just months apart from different mothers. Ashleigh said: 'I have a sister who's 10 months older than me from one mum and another sister 10 months younger from a different mum." At just two years old, Ashleigh's family began to splinter. Most read in Fabulous Several of her father's wives left, but her mum stayed. They later moved to Life there was strict and isolated. The family followed the Book of Mormon alongside the Bible and believed in 'plural marriage', where men could take multiple wives but women were expected to be entirely obedient. She explained that whilst many people think the LDS church still practices polygamy, they no longer do, as this has been broken off from the religion. However, smaller communities in Utah would still practice this. Ashleigh said of the polygamous community: "It's such a high demand religion and I would honestly say it's a cult because you have been told since you're a child all these things and you can't even think for yourself." Ashleigh said she grew up alongside Warren Jeffs community, shown in Sister Wives. 'From the outside, people think of Warren Jeffs and the FLDS group, like the women in bonnets and long dresses,' Ashleigh said. 'But the polygamy I grew up in wasn't like that. We dressed like everyone else, people in Utah probably spoke to polygamists without even realising it.' Children were expected to fall in line. Ashleigh said: 'My mum was just 17 when she married my dad, who was 41.' If a man wanted to 'court' you, he'd ask your dad and if he said yes, you didn't really get a choice. As Ashleigh grew older, she started to question the way she was raised. At 16, tragedy struck her 14-year-old brother took his own life – something that still haunts her today. She said: 'My life has never been the same. 'I was grieving, suicidal, and felt completely disconnected from my parents. There was no space for feelings, there were just too many of us. By that time, Ashleigh had already met Paul, a boy from the same faith. She said: "I met my husband in the same polygamist religion I grew up in. 'I always feared I'd be married off to some old man. The couple began dating when Ashleigh was 17. "We were planning on living polygamy, we were going to have sister wives." But they'd soon decided against it. Despite opposition from some of Paul's family, who branded her 'immodest', he proposed just after she graduated high school. 'Paul had to ask my dad for permission,' Ashleigh said. 'My dad was thrilled – Paul was in the same religion and made decent money. He was like, 'Take her!'' Ashleigh admitted she always struggled with Mormonism and didn't necessarily want to live this life but was taught "if you were to leave you will be damned for it". She added: "we didn't feel like we had a choice". Today, Ashleigh has left the religion behind and built a new life. She shares insights into her family life on her Instagram Ashleigh said she is still close to some of her siblings, though with 45 of them, she admits it's impossible to keep track of everyone. 'I like to joke I grew up in a divorced family, but on another level,' she said. 'I had all these other mums and siblings coming and going, it was confusing and heart breaking as a child.' Now, with a husband who chose her for love and a life of her own making, Ashleigh says she finally feels free. 3 Ashley met her husband at 17 years old Credit: Instagram/ Ashleigh_sandmire What is Mormonism? A MORMON is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which was founded in 19th century America and has around 16 million followers around the world. Mormonism came to the UK in 1837 and has around 190,000 members. Mormons believe that other Christian churches have gone astray and theirs is a restoration of the Church as The Mormon church was created by a man called Joseph Smith, and later was developed by Brigham Young, who moved with the new Mormons to Salt Lake City in 1847. Mormonism is centred on strong traditional family life and values. And 'sins' such as gambling, smoking, drinking alcohol, drugs, tea, coffee, homosexuality, pornography, and sex outside of marriage are forbidden. Mormons hold fast to the belief that God has a physical presence and is married and can have children. They also believe that mankind can become gods after they die. The tradition was stopped, however, over a century ago and mainstream churches even excommunicate anyone who practices it. Despite this, many people still hold the misconception that all Mormons are involved in polygamous relationships. That being said, there are fundamentalist offshoots of the mainstream Mormon Church which still continue to practice polygamy.
