"Microplastic is a huge concern as they are released into our water every time a plastic sponge or cloth is used to wash up or is rinsed out.

I'm a garden expert – bathroom staple could give your furniture an instant makeover
NOW that summer is well underway, there has never been a more perfect time to get out and relax in the garden. It can be the perfect place to put your feet up, relax, and take in the sunshine while enjoying the greenery. Advertisement 3 Our flip-flop weather means our garden furniture needs looking after more Credit: Alamy 3 And that usually involves cleaning it more often Credit: Getty 3 But one bathroom staple can help give it an instant makeover Credit: Getty But without our recent flip-flop weather, one minute our outdoor furniture will look great, and the next it will need another clean and wipe down. Items like chairs and tables are magnets for dirt and grime, and even just one day of heavy rain and wind can be enough for them to get dirty all over again. But did you know that one small, bathroom staple could effortlessly give it a new lease of life? Garden pros have revealed that a toothbrush can be a useful tool for a deep clean. Advertisement And they have urged homeowners to think twice about tossing their old toothbrushes before using them to spruce up their outdoor furniture. Bradley Spencer, of garden furniture specialists A regular deep clean can not only protect the longevity and functionality of outdoor items but give them an instant makeover too Bradley Spencer of garden furniture specialists Royal Finesse He said: 'The unpredictable weather can leave garden furniture looking less than its best at times. 'A regular deep clean can not only protect the longevity and functionality of outdoor items but give them an instant makeover too. Advertisement Most read in Fabulous Exclusive 'With wooden furniture, it's recommended to use a soft cloth or sponge and water mixed with a mild soap to wipe dirt off the surfaces. 'A soft-bristle toothbrush can be used to remove dirt and loose debris from crevices and hard-to-reach spots, taking care not to damage the wood by scrubbing too hard. 'I was quoted £10,000 for a garden renovation but did it MYSELF for £1,000 using ChatGPT to show my kids what single mums can do' 'White vinegar mixed with water can also be useful for tackling any stubborn dirt. 'Finally, give the item a rinse with clean water to remove any lingering soap or vinegar and allow to dry.

According to Bradley, good-quality wooden garden furniture can last decades if cared for properly. Advertisement He recommends conducting a deep clean at least twice a year. And he said reapplying a sealant or protective oil can go a long way to maintaining its longevity. When not in use through the winter, protective covers can be used to keep the elements at bay. Or if possible, it can be moved into an indoor area such as a shed if practical. Advertisement Bradley also warns against a common mistake some people make while cleaning their garden furniture. Read more on the Irish Sun He added: 'Using a pressure washer to clean wooden garden furniture can be risky as it may cause damage if not done properly. 'The powerful blasts can damage the protective coating, cause chips in the wood and make it more vulnerable to water and sun damage.' The mistake that could wreck your outdoor furniture IF you want to make sure that you don't accidentally ruin your outdoor furniture during the hot weather then you might want to take note. Experts have revealed that there is a huge garden mistake you could be making during the hot temperatures that could wreck your outdoor space. Since Scotland gets a lot of wet and windy weather - at the tail end of the year - most homeowners cover up their beloved garden furniture over winter. But leaving this on when the weather is hot and sunny could actually cause anything that is under it to MELT. As a result, outdoor expert Andrew White from He said: "When the temperature is rising, it is important to remove your garden furniture covers. "Most garden furniture covers are lined with PVC to repel the elements during wet weather. "But when they are placed under a direct heat source such as the sun, they can actually melt and leave a residue or stain on your furnishings. 'Some materials in lower quality, less expensive furnishings can become brittle if left in direct sunlight for extended periods of time. "To prevent fading and breakage, you should ensure your furniture is well-shaded during sunny periods.

'Life-changing' food storage hack will stop potatoes sprouting early
A clever lifestyle expert has recently shared a collection of revolutionary fruit and vegetable hacks on TikTok, featuring a brilliant method to prevent your potatoes from sprouting prematurely. TikTok user @lifetips669 uploaded a clip revealing a nifty trick that will extend the lifespan of your grocery shopping. "Vegetable vendors will never tell you these food storage tips," they declared. They revealed an ingenious potato preservation technique, explaining: "Potatoes bought in bulk go bad. Potatoes and apples are good friends. Storing them together prevents sprouting." It appears there's genuine scientific backing to this suggestion, as it reportedly decelerates the ripening process for both items. Based on findings from Tasting Table, apples release ethylene gas, which can halt potatoes' tendency to sprout. The publication also recommends avoiding warm locations for potato storage, choosing instead somewhere "cool, dry and dark", reports the Mirror. However, avoid placing them in the refrigerator; this might convert their starches into sugars, potentially creating dangerous compounds during cooking. Additionally, be aware that the same apple ethylene can damage other fresh produce including onions, melons, broccoli, and peaches, accelerating their ripening and shortening their storage life. In another clever suggestion, @lifetips669 on TikTok advises placing prawns inside an empty mineral water bottle and topping it up with tap water. "Tighten the cap and freeze it," they recommend. "This way it stays fresh for a year." A savvy lifestyle guru has just dropped a bunch of game-changing fruit and veg tips on TikTok, including a nifty trick to keep your spuds from sprouting too soon (Image: Getty) The savvy individual behind the account also recommends plunging broccoli into water to maintain its freshness and advocates storing onions in tights to extend their lifespan. Similar to potatoes, @lifetips669 highlights that bananas purchased in large quantities tend to deteriorate more rapidly. They believe covering the stem with cling film can preserve them in "still perfect" condition until you crave a banana. TikTok users have been swift to express their gratitude, with one commenting: "Wow I'm so encouraged and happy, thanks a lot for this info." Another added: "Wow additional knowledge.

Chilling rise of ‘psycho' cats – domestic pets crossed with wild animals bought online & now prowling UK streets
THERE'S a rise in Brits adopting "psycho" hybrid cats described as unsuitable pets - with armed cops even called in to retrieve one. Savannah cats are the result of breeding wild African servals with domestic moggies - and a special Dangerous Wild Animal Licence (DWA) is needed to own first generation crosses (F1) of the "breed". 6 A savannah cat that was on the loose in Hampstead in 2020 Credit: SWNS 6 Worried neighbours had called cops after spotting the 'big cat' 6 Armed cops in Hampstead retrieved the cat It comes after Celebs and influencers, including Justin Bieber, are among those to have owned savannah cats - but experts warn they can be a major risk, especially to other pets. Bieber's wife Hailey described his two savannah's as "pyscho". Armed police were called in 2020 to affluent Billionaire's Row in Hampstead, London, when READ MORE NEWS The latest Government data shows at least 30 F1 versions of the species are being kept in the UK - but many more later generation examples are currently on these shores, with numbers rising. F1s can cost as much as £20,000 - but sites like Pets4Homes list non-first generation savannah kitten litters for sale for as little as £200 each. Chris Lewis, captivity research manager for Born Free, told The Sun people should not be fooled, and it's impossible to remove the wild genes and instincts in just one or two generations. He said: 'I would strongly advise against anyone wanting to purchase a savannah cat. Most read in The Sun 'They're considered to be a step up from your common domestic cat, because they're bigger, they're quite striking in appearance and have featured in a number of online videos with influencers or celebrities. 'So they are considered to be a fashionable pet, I guess." Pet dog runs on court to celebrate as Emma Raducanu is beaten by Anna Kalinskaya in Washington He continued: 'Once you get into the second generation of Savannah cats, you then don't need a license anymore, which I think helps with their appeal and also that raises questions as to whether that's even appropriate because you have this animal, which is only two generations away from its wild parents, and you suddenly don't need a license for it yet… 'It is quite bizarre, almost a bit of a loophole with the licensing.' Chris said he would encourage people to remember that the domestication of cats and dogs occurred over the thousands of years over multiple generations. 'To assume that an animal after just two generations is suitable and capable of being kept adequately in a domestic environment within the UK is perhaps not appropriate, not advisable,' he continued. 'And any hybridisation of two species which are so noticeably different because the breeding of a domestic cat and a wild cat can be filled with welfare issues for the animals involved." Savannah's are not simply high maintenance, they are different animals from domestic cats - described as energetically hardwired, they are often accused of terrorising neighbourhood pets when allowed to roam. RSPCA scientific officer Evangeline Button told 'Providing an environment that meets the needs of these large animals is likely to prove extremely difficult, particularly in the average family home. "Animals should only be kept in captivity if good welfare can be assured.' 6 Savannah kittens can be bought online for a few hundred pounds 6 Savannahs are a mix of wild servals (pictured) and domestic cats Credit: Alamy 6 Justin Bieber has previously owned savannah cats Credit: Instagram
