Impressed customers
Posting an image of the tool in action, he joked he "might be in danger of being far too excited".
The Facebook user went on to compare the product to a 1960s ad where the housewife could "obliterate dirt, grime, and rogue spaghetti stains with a single swipe of a miracle cleaner or gadget".
He joked that "reality rarely scrubs up that well" but added that "every now and then, a product actually does live up to the hype".
The poster pointed out the impressive results of his "new jet-wash patio cleaner".
"One swipe of the 'hovercraft' wand, and decades of moss, muck, and mystery stains vanish like they were never there," he explained.

His fellow Facebook users shared their thoughts on the tool in the comments section.

How the Covid-19 pandemic affected GCSE students
Students across England, Wales, and Northern Ireland are receiving their GCSE and vocational qualification results today, a cohort that was in primary school when the Covid -19 pandemic began. More than one in five GCSE entries are anticipated to achieve the top grades (7 or A), with grading standards having returned to pre-pandemic levels in 2023. Education leaders highlight ongoing challenges for students, including attendance issues, cost-of-living pressures, and an increase in requests for special exam accommodations, which strain school resources. Competition for sixth form places is expected to be more intense this year due to a rising 16-year-old population and potential shifts from the private sector, with concerns about widening socio-economic divides in outcomes. A government review is underway to consider reducing the overall volume of GCSE assessment, with headteachers' unions advocating for less reliance on terminal exams and more varied assessment methods.
