After sitting outside over winter, some garden furniture can become covered in a crunchy, green layer.
However, there is one dirt-cheap item from Tesco which can make cleaning off that thin layer of algae easy.
The Tesco-own brand of distilled vinegar can dissolve the algae quickly and only costs 35p.
According to gardening expert, Laura Carter, the product is a 'secret weapon' which can remove more than just algae.

She described the 35p product as 'a cheap hack for cleaning wood and outside upholstery is distilled vinegar as it can remove bacteria, dirt and grime without harming the wood".
The product is available at nearly all Tesco stores, though you're more likely to find it in the cooking section than in the gardening aisle.
The supermarket chain's website describes the product as 'sharp and tangy' and as being perfect for 'pickling' - it's original purpose.
The 568ml bottle can be used on most garden furniture and has received rave reviews from fans.

Several shared the different ways in which they used the product.
One user shared how it doubled as a fabric conditioner and a descaler.
'It's spacious enough for two adults' - The Range release double garden rocking chair less than €120
The customer wrote: 'I use it instead of fabric conditioner for my laundry and as a rinse aid in the the dishwasher. Also good for descaling the kettle and removing limescale from taps.'
The news comes after Brits flocked to their gardens over the weekend, as the UK sizzled in balmy 30C heat.

Get your hydrangeas to bloom all summer long with £3 Tesco buy & it makes the flowers bigger too
ON a mission to spruce up your garden this summer but not sure how to give your blooms the boost they need? Tesco has got you covered with their latest buy - and it's less than a fiver too. 2 The Levington Tomorite Concentrated Tomato Food isn't just great for growing juicy tomatoes, it can be used on your hydrangeas too. "It is ideal for tomatoes, vegetables and flowering pot plants and produces top quality, full flavoured tomatoes. "Our seaweed comes from a sustainable source in the Nordic region and is collected without damaging the environment," the product description reads. And it has almost a perfect five star rating on Tesco's website too. One happy shopper said: "Really good concentrated food I use for all my flowers and shrubs, they love it! "Good value for money a little goes a long way, easy to mix in the watering can too and easy to store once opened. Bottle can be recycled too. Good price." So, why is it especially good for your hydrangeas? These flowers often struggle to bloom due to undesirable weather temperatures, as well as being planted in the shade and lack of pruning. Another possibility, according to the pros at Home Digest, another may be you need to fertilize your plants. "One way to remedy that particular issue is to consider using Tomorite to encourage new growth, but only if you've considered certain factors such as the age of your hydrangeas, the timing of application, and the amount that should be used," they explained. Peter O'Mahony shares gardening update 'I've been planning for years' on Instagram What is Tomortie? Tomorite is different from other fertilizers because it "contains an unbalanced ratio of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium — having a particularly increased potassium level," the garden pro explained. Because hydrangeas need a lot of potassium to create large blooms, Tomorite can give the extra nutrients it needs. Before using it on your hydrangeas, you should consider if your plant is fully established, it's also best to apply Tomorite during the summer months when your plant is growing. Simply water the soil surrounding the plant, and make sure to avoid getting any of the solution on leaves as this could lead to fungal diseases. As always, be sure to follow the instruction on the bottle for the best results.
