How to clean green algae off decking
Is your decking covered in green algae or moss?
The experts at Ronseal have shared their guide to cleaning your decking after a wet and warm winter.
You'll need:
A wire brush
Decking cleaner
A pressure washer or hose
Clear the decking
Clear your decking and grab a broom - give it decking a good sweep to dislodge any dirt.
Choose your cleaner
Some cleaners are better at tackling certain jobs than others, so you need to consider what it is you want the cleaner to do.
Decking Cleaner and Reviver preps new wood whilst cleaning up older decking. It can tackle algae and mould and can be used over stains and oils. It's a good general-purpose cleaner and can brighten up your decking throughout the year. This is good for decking that's dirtier than average and in instances where a brush and jet wash don't quite cut it.
Decking Stripper is for tough stubborn stains that won't budge. It does exactly what it says on the tin and strips all stains and oils from your decking. It's ideal for prepping your deck ready for a fresh coat of stain, paint or oil. This is most effective with really, really dirty and discoloured decking that needs reviving.
Clean your decking
Top tip: Before you power ahead, read the instructions on the back of the packet. Some of our cleaners don't need water and can be poured directly onto your decking.
And B&Q has more offers available on garden furniture with 25% off some items.
Gardening fans can also nab a £15 bargain that is said to transform your outdoor space.
And another £8.50 gardening gadget will leave your lawn perfect ahead of summer.
A budget hack can also turn your garden into a trickling oasis in time for the warm weather.
And another affordable item can help remove stubborn algae from your garden fences.

After sharing their bargain buy online the lucky shopper who spotted the discount was congratulated by others. One social media user said: "Absolute bargain. I've had this for ages and paid £40. It's lush." Another commented: "Good for you, a bargain and then some." Shoppers hoping to get their hands on the discounted furniture will have to be quick and will need to download the B&M scanner. 'Why is no-one talking about this-' woman says about B&M buy that'll transform her bathroom for 'less than a Domino's' The scanner lets you see if an item is cheaper than its advertised price. Discounts are sometimes applied to seasonal items or old stock with B&M trying to shift it quickly. The scanner lets the customer check if items are being sold at lower prices and saves them a bunch of money. Using the scanner is completely free, bargain hunters just need to download the B&M app. If items scanned by the app show lower prices than advertised shoppers need to take them to the cash desk in store where they will automatically scan at the lower price. 3 The cabinet offers stylish storage at a massively discounted price Credit: B&M Brits up and down the country have bagged massive bargains at B&M using the method.

Amazon said the piece of furniture, which they are selling for £89.99, offers: "Convenient hidden storage space behind two doors with a rustic wood finish. "With its rectangular shape and metal legs, this storage cabinet can serve well in entryways, hallways, or dining rooms for organizing shoes, books, toys and more. "The standout feature of this cabinet is the chevron detailing on the doors, adding a stylish and contemporary touch to its design."
