Mrs Hinch fans swear by brilliant £1.50 ingredient to 'melt away' pavement moss

Getting rid of moss from any paving slabs in your garden can be a tough job - especially in wet weather when it can also be a slipping hazard.

Thankfully, some fans of content creator Mrs Hinch have unveiled a simple product which can get rid of the menacing moss with no scrubbing needed at all.

Mrs Hinch, whose real name is Sophie Hinchliffe, is a cleaning sensation with over 4million followers, and fans of hers often share their advice on cleaning and tidying on the dedicated Cleaning Tips Facebook page.

A recent post in the Facebook group has seen the comments flooded with advice, but the tip of using white vinegar, which can be purchased for as little as £1.50, stuck out.

In the post, a person seeking help wrote: "Any advice would be greatly received. Can anyone suggest what I can use to get rid of the green moss and gunge on the floor from our paving blocks in the garden?

"Please bear in mind that we do have a small dog who likes to explore, so no harsh chemicals. Also, we don't own a pressure washer or know anyone with one. Thank you in advance."

Within minutes the post caused quite a stir with many flooding the comments with their advice on how to get rid of it - but one product prevailed as the favourite. And that was to use some white vinegar on the area.

One person commented: "Dilute white vinegar with water, about one part vinegar and 10 parts water. Let it sit on the patio for a while and it should melt away with a brush, no scrubbing needed."

Another person hailed white vinegar as a must use as it can kill moss in minutes with very little work or scrubbing needed.

Plus, the major benefit of this hack is that it could only set you back 30p per wash as a bottle of white vinegar would cost you £1.50 from Wilko and will see you through five washes.

Others suggested using boiling water, however, as another stated: "Boiling water and a sweeping brush."

While somebody else noted: "This is what I do, it's great because I have a dog and need to be careful to keep chemicals away from him."
