According to Cleansing Genius, simply apply the product and leave it to work, it works magic for 10 minutes.

How to repair broken patio tiles

THE paving specialists at Simply Paving have taught Fabulous how to easily repair broken patio tiles.

Experts advise: "If you have a loose paver slab, it's unlikely you'll be able to lift it directly by hand." Instead, you'll likely need a hammer and chisel to loosen your patio pavers.

"To remove loose paving slabs without damaging them, gently scrape away the mortar around the paving slab using the putty chisel and rubber mallet until the slab is completely loose.

"Next, push the shovel into the gap left by the mortar and remove the patio stone.

"When you lift the shovel, place a small piece of wood under the shovel to act as a lever to make your job easier and to protect the plate underneath.

"If the paver gives way, place the cylindrical wood underneath and remove the patio slab."

First, there are a few things you can do to limit moss growth that you should keep in mind for next year when it's too late.

Fiona adds: "Don't let the water sit on the surface.

"Remove standing water as quickly as possible with a blower or broom.

"This is particularly important in shady areas and always ensure that water can drain effectively from the patio.

"Also, remove new moss immediately. As soon as you see green growth, remove it."

"If you leave moss standing, it grows quickly and takes root in the joints. Then it becomes harder to remove."

Firstly, you'll need to invest in an outdoor broom, which you can buy for as little as £4, like this one from B&M.

Fiona says: "Always keep the garden clean. Do not allow leaves, dirt or debris to accumulate on the deck.

"Clean the deck surface weekly with a blower or broom."

Also keep the terrace as dry as possible.

Simple 42p solution

If the moss has already taken hold and is getting out of control, don't despair.

There's no need to spend a fortune as bleach can be an effective solution - this two-litre bottle from Asda Essentials costs just 42p.

Fiona says: "First, use a stiff broom to sweep as much moss as possible from the surface of the deck.

"In smaller areas or tight corners, you may need to use a smaller brush."

If necessary, you can purchase a brush from most supermarkets or hardware stores; For example, this soft-handle brush from Wilko costs just 65p.

Fiona adds: "Blow or sweep any debris from the surface and throw it away.

"In a bucket, mix a solution of one part bleach to five parts water.

"Pour this solution onto the deck surface and stir it with a stiff broom.

"If necessary, use a stiff-bristled brush to scrub the grout lines.

"Be careful not to touch the sand in the joints.

"Then rinse the entire area with clean water and allow the deck to dry."
