I’m a gypsy & swear by a 55p Tesco buy to get my patio sparkling…it removes mould & algae & you won’t need a jet washer
A WOMAN has shared how she gets her patio sparkling, leaving many open-mouthed.
A traveller named Pashy, 42, who is known online as ‘Gypsy Queen Pashy’, has revealed her top tips for getting a grubby patio sparkling.
According to this cleaning fanatic, who recently opened up on facing discrimination in her community, there’s a 55p buy from Tesco that will do just the trick.
And while it’ll take a bit of elbow grease, you won’t need to invest in a pricey jet washer, making this hack super affordable.
Posting on social media, Pashy shared her advice – and according to her, you’ll only need three things – bleach, a washing-up bowl and a scrubbing brush.
As she knelt on her patio, the mother said: “I’m on my hands and knees outside scrubbing the pavement because I don’t have a jet wash.
“I’m getting all the green up – I always do things by hand, it comes up better.
“Every day, I get out here with a bit of disinfectant and a bit of bleach, because my boy plays out here.
“I’ve put a bit of bleach down to kill the germs.”
Pashy simply poured bleach onto the patio, and used her scrubbing brush to clean it.
If you fancy giving this a try, you can buy extra thick bleach, which you can nab from Tesco, for as little as 55p.
Pashy then used her hose to wash down the pavement, as she explained: “The thing is, some people don’t have money for jet washers, with the price of everything going up.
“So if you can save money and do it all on your hands and knees, wouldn’t you prefer doing that?”
As the hose washed off the bleach, Pashy added: “Look at all the green coming up.
