What's more, the product is available for just £12 at Wickes.
The KilrockPRO Wood, Deck & Fence Cleaner has been praised as a quick and easy solution to your fence-related problems.
A product description on the Wickes website reads: "The KilrockPRO Wood, Deck & Fence Cleaner cleans, brightens and rejuvenates outdoor wooden surfaces."
It can be used for a wide range of purposes, making the £12 price tag seem like even better value for money.
The cleaner can be used to tackle dirt and stains caused by algae, mould and mildew on fences, wood, decking, sheds, cladding, shake shingles, and other wood surfaces.
With 5 litres of concentrate, it can make up to 50 litres of usable product when diluted, ensuring you have enough to keep your fences spotless throughout the summer.
Once diluted, the formula can be applied using a spray or a brush.
For bigger areas of growth, a spray can help speed up the process, while a brush might help get those hard to reach spots in between fence panels.
The solution can then be left to work its magic, making for a quick and easy application process.
After waiting for a suitable length of time, according to the product's instruction manual, the product can then be washed off.

Reviews for the product were generally positive, with one shopper writing: "After a day the green algae was fading and a couple of days after that it's no longer there.
They added: "Moral of the story - use Kilrock fence cleaner first, on a dry day without any threat of rain for at least 6 hours and then leave it for 3 days or so to work it's magic.
"It will save you days of time and effort!"
Another customer said they use a dilution ratio of one to four, left it for 24 hours, before rewashing it which has meant their "decking has come up like new."
One reviewer posted a photo of their fence, clearly showing the difference between the algae covered panels and the new and improved clean fencing.
They wrote: "From what I can tell, people who have had trouble and left poor reviews are expecting instant results. It works overnight - spray and leave it alone!"
Others were less positive, saying that the product had not worked as effectively they've hoped.
A couple of lower rated comments suggested that soapy water and a stiff broom would have done just as good a job.

The diluted formula is also safe on plants and grass, as it doesn't contain bleach or acid, meaning the rest of your garden won't be ruined in the process.
Shoppers are advised to test the solution on a small "inconspicuous" area before applying to the rest of the fence.
Once cleaned, the product description claims that it "provides long lasting surface protection that deters regrowth for months."

Locals in the Scottish Borders reportedly face a second week of upset after a refuse worker was injured. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up It's understood that the employee was caught in the lorry's lifting mechanism. The lifting mechanisms on all Scottish Borders Council bin lorries have now been suspended over safety fears, reports the BBC. Following the incident, no household food waste will be collected. Residents have been asked to put food waste in their general bin. The local authority told the broadcaster: "As we are not sure how long this disruption will continue, if you do not have enough space in your food waste bin, we ask that you place any food waste into your general waste bin until further notice. "We are very sorry for this inconvenience. If your general waste or recycling bin is not collected as scheduled, please leave it presented as we will make every effort to return for it. "If we have not returned by the Sunday, please take your bin back in and present it again on your next scheduled collection day. "Remaining restraints will be removed by our staff if possible. "But if they cannot be removed, we will not be able to collect the bin." "Please note that we may not be able to guarantee the return of any restraints removed by our staff.
