I’m a Gypsy Cleaning Queen & swear by a 70p Asda buy to get my patio sparkling…it melts moss & mould, it’s so satisfying
A WOMAN has shared how she gets her grubby patio sparkling, with barely any effort involved.
According to Chantelle Devonshire, 23, there’s a cheap product that melts away moss and mould from your outside areas.
So if you’re on a budget and are searching for an affordable solution to get your patio looking brand new, then you’ve come to the right place.
Posting on social media, the traveller girl, who is from Cambridge and is known as a ‘Gypsy Cleaning Queen’, explained that she uses bleach for a satisfying patio clean.
Chantelle explained: “Come spend the day cleaning with a gypsy, the sun is out so it’s time to clean outside ready for summer.”
After Chantelle gave everything in her chalet a clean, which involved hoovering the carpet, tidying up her sofas and scrubbing her mats, she then headed outside.
As she showed off her grubby patio, she then shared how she uses her favourite cleaning buy – bleach, of course – to get it looking fabulous.
She added: “I love the smell of bleach.”
She poured the bleach over her patio and used a brush to rub it in, as she continued: “Just getting [rid of] all that green.
“This is where all my bins go, so I like to keep this really clean.”
As the moss and mould literally lifted off, she then used a hose to wash it down.
Thankfully with Chantelle’s cleaning tip, there’s no pricey jet washer involved, as she beamed: “I find this so satisfying, I love watching the dirt come off.”
If you fancy giving this trick a go, you can find the same bleach as Chantelle uses for just 70p from Asda.
The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @chantelle19xoxo, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up 471,900 views and 34,700 likes.

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.”
Whilst someone else wrote: “Nothing better than bleach, honest to God its best.”

“It removes the green moss and stuff from everything that’s outside, we do it twice a year, it’s amazing!”
Whilst a second recommended: “I do all the same as you but try using Dettol.
“I get a spray bottle, put Dettol in and fill the bottle up with warm water – that’s my cleaning product.”
