Your first thought might be to use a pressure washer, but these can be incredibly pricey, and can even end up damaging your slabs. However, Sam Stevens, a garden expert from Pergolux UK revealed a budget-friendly method, which you may be able to find in your kids' pencil case. "Cleaning the garden doesn't have to be an expensive job. We all love a cheap and cheerful hack and the good news is that there are plenty of items you'll already have in your home that can be used in the garden," he said. How To Use An Eraser To Clean Your Patio Although traditionally used by schoolkids to rub out spelling mistakes and maths errors, Sam revealed that you can use an eraser to help clean your patio. The expert explained that if plant pots have left any marks on the patio, you can simply buff the scuffs using a rubber. If the marks aren't too stubborn, they should come away, leaving your patio sparkling. Rubbers are super cheap, and if there isn't one in your kids' schoolbag, you can pick one up from Sainsbury's for just 50p.

Frustrated but determined, Evie stumbled upon a life-changing tip during a casual scroll through the comments section on cleaning TikToks. I transformed my garden patio into summer haven for less than £100 with cheap B&M buys including gadget to keep bugs out A recommendation buried within the comments caught her attention - someone suggested using a 69p bottle of Aldi bleach as a simple yet effective solution for sparkling patios. She poured the bleach over the slabs, letting it soak in for around five minutes without scrubbing or extra effort. Then, she fired up her jet washer again - and the results were nothing short of incredible. Christie, who is known as @christiestimson11 on TikTok also recently revealed her budget friendly hack for scrubbing her slabs. How to repair broken patio slabs THE paving specialists at Simply Paving told Fabulous how you can repair broken patio slabs, without the faff. The experts advised: 'If you have a loose paving slab, then it's unlikely it can be lifted straight by hand. Instead, you will probably need a hammer and chisel to prise the paver free of your patio. 'To remove loose paving slabs without damaging your flagstones, carefully chip away at the mortar around the paving slab with the plugging chisel and rubber mallet until the slab comes completely loose. 'Then, slide the spade into the gap left by the mortar and prise the paver free of the patio. "As you lift it up, place a short piece of timber underneath the spade to act as a lever, making it easier for you while protecting the slab underneath. 'When the paver starts to give, place the cylindrical wood underneath it and roll the slab out of the patio.' She explained that she simply uses a mop and bucket, which she fills with Flash floor cleaner, along with bicarbonate of soda and boiling water. Sharing a video of her demonstrating how it's done to her 3,501 TikTok followers, she showed how she used a mop and the mixture to clean the patio slabs. Christie explained that the process is "satisfying" and that it is 'easy' to 'get all of the mud and dirt off of it.' Plus, Molly Woodward-Moor, Creative Director at Stone Superstore, revealed that washing Up Liquid can be used to care for stone tiles as well as lift dirt or stains that may build up on them. To use the product on the patio, the liquid can be diluted in warm tap water. Then using a soft-bristled brush or non-abrasive sponge, the solution can be scrubbed into areas that need cleaning. This is a gentle method for stones, that avoids scratching their surface or causing damage to tiles.

The 39p trick to get your garden furniture rust-free and it works in magic while you sleep
WITH summer now here, most of us want to go out and make the most of our gardens. But, if you've left your furniture out all winter long, then it most probably is rusty and not looking its best. 1 Fortunately, a garden furniture expert has shared the easy way to get it looking brand new again rather than forking out hundreds on new tables and chairs. The experts at Pergolux revealed how you can use common household items to remove rust from garden furniture and tools. Sam Stevens, from the company, said: "A lot of people will be looking at their gardens to get them ready for the brighter and longer days ahead. "Garden cleaning doesn't need to be an expensive job. "We all love a cheap and cheerful hack, so whether you're buffing away stains, achieve a streak-free finish on glass or eliminate rust, you'll find something in your house." And one of the best ways to banish rust is by using a fizzy drink. Fizzy drinks remove rust through a chemical reaction where phosphoric acid converts the rust (iron oxide) into a less harmful iron phosphate compound, reports the Express. This iron phosphate forms a protective layer on the metal, inhibiting further corrosion. You can use the drink to clean pretty much anything, from rusty tools and furniture to hinges and the metal parts of your barbecue. Small tools can be soaked in fizzy drinks overnight while furniture and other large items you will need to pour some of the drink onto a cloth and wrap it over the rusty area overnight. That means it does all of the hard work while you're asleep. In the morning, simply give it a wipe down and the rust should be gone. Value brand fizzy drinks can be bought at all major supermarkets with prices starting at 39p for lemonade and 49p for cola in Tesco and Aldi. You can also use ketchup in the same way if you don't have any fizzy drinks to hand. This is great for brass or copper garden décor including patio furniture, garden gates or old metal watering cans. Simply apply a thin layer of ketchup to the affected area and let it sit for around fifteen minutes before gently scrubbing it away and rinsing with water.
