Sainsbury's 50p buy will get rid of stubborn scuffs on your grubby patio – and you can find it in your child's schoolbag
YOUR patio will look sparkling and brand new with the help of a 50p Sainsbury's buy. With temperatures set to soar again this week, many Brits are likely making plans to have friends over for cocktails in the sun. 2 It can be tricky to keep your patio clean Credit: Getty 2 Experts have revealed you can use a rubber to remove patio scuffs Credit: Sainsburys But before you invite anyone over, you may want to give your patio a bit of a scrub, to make sure it's looking shiny and brand new. Your first thought might be to use a pressure washer, but these can be incredibly pricey, and can even end up damaging your slabs. However, Sam Stevens, a garden expert from Pergolux UK revealed a budget-friendly method, which you may be able to find in your kids' pencil case. "Cleaning the garden doesn't have to be an expensive job. We all love a cheap and cheerful hack and the good news is that there are plenty of items you'll already have in your home that can be used in the garden," he said. How To Use An Eraser To Clean Your Patio Although traditionally used by schoolkids to rub out spelling mistakes and maths errors, Sam revealed that you can use an eraser to help clean your patio. The expert explained that if plant pots have left any marks on the patio, you can simply buff the scuffs using a rubber. If the marks aren't too stubborn, they should come away, leaving your patio sparkling. Rubbers are super cheap, and if there isn't one in your kids' schoolbag, you can pick one up from Sainsbury's for just 50p. More Patio Cleaning Hacks Council house mum Evie, recently revealed her struggle with her patio slabs, admitting that despite her best efforts with a jet washer, it 'hardly did anything.' Frustrated but determined, Evie stumbled upon a life-changing tip during a casual scroll through the comments section on cleaning TikToks. I transformed my garden patio into summer haven for less than £100 with cheap B&M buys including gadget to keep bugs out A recommendation buried within the comments caught her attention - someone suggested using a 69p bottle of Aldi bleach as a simple yet effective solution for sparkling patios. She poured the bleach over the slabs, letting it soak in for around five minutes without scrubbing or extra effort. Then, she fired up her jet washer again - and the results were nothing short of incredible. Christie, who is known as @christiestimson11 on TikTok also recently revealed her budget friendly hack for scrubbing her slabs. How to repair broken patio slabs THE paving specialists at Simply Paving told Fabulous how you can repair broken patio slabs, without the faff. The experts advised: 'If you have a loose paving slab, then it's unlikely it can be lifted straight by hand. Instead, you will probably need a hammer and chisel to prise the paver free of your patio. 'To remove loose paving slabs without damaging your flagstones, carefully chip away at the mortar around the paving slab with the plugging chisel and rubber mallet until the slab comes completely loose. 'Then, slide the spade into the gap left by the mortar and prise the paver free of the patio. "As you lift it up, place a short piece of timber underneath the spade to act as a lever, making it easier for you while protecting the slab underneath. 'When the paver starts to give, place the cylindrical wood underneath it and roll the slab out of the patio.' She explained that she simply uses a mop and bucket, which she fills with Flash floor cleaner, along with bicarbonate of soda and boiling water. Sharing a video of her demonstrating how it's done to her 3,501 TikTok followers, she showed how she used a mop and the mixture to clean the patio slabs. Christie explained that the process is "satisfying" and that it is 'easy' to 'get all of the mud and dirt off of it.' Plus, Molly Woodward-Moor, Creative Director at Stone Superstore, revealed that washing Up Liquid can be used to care for stone tiles as well as lift dirt or stains that may build up on them. To use the product on the patio, the liquid can be diluted in warm tap water. Then using a soft-bristled brush or non-abrasive sponge, the solution can be scrubbed into areas that need cleaning. This is a gentle method for stones, that avoids scratching their surface or causing damage to tiles.

Tesco, Aldi, Lidl, M&S and Sainsbury's sausages ranked
A good pork sausage should be flavoursome and not too fatty, containing high-quality meat, a tasty seasoning blend, and a natural casing. We tried five different sausages from major retailers to see which one to buy Bangers are a quintessential part of British grub, perfect for brekkie butties, bangers and mash, toad in the hole drenched in gravy, or sizzling on the barbie. A top-notch pork sausage needs to be packed with flavour, not overly greasy, filled with quality meat, seasoned well, and encased naturally. Richmond sausages are often hailed as the crème de la crème on the supermarket shelves. Keen to find out if store-brand snags can hold a candle to the famed Richmond variety, Sophie sampled five different sausages from leading supermarkets. With a panel consisting of five family members, we embarked on a blind taste test to see how Tesco, Aldi, Lidl, M&S, and Sainsbury's versions stacked up against Richmond's offering. We cooked each batch of sausages in an air fryer for 10 minutes at 200 °C, and everyone rated them from best to worst. We tallied the scores to crown our sausage champion, reports the Express. Here's how the sausages fared, from the duds to the delicious, in our undercover taste trial: Richmond Trailing at the bottom was the household name Richmond. Despite its reputation as the top dog of pork sausages, it failed to wow us with its taste or texture. In the covert taste challenge, the Richmond sausages were slammed for having "no taste or texture," being "very soft and salty," and "tasteless and very rusky." Score: 12 out of 30 Aldi. Nabbing the second-lowest spot, Aldi's sausages were critiqued for their "less flavour" and "not as much taste" when pitted against the other contenders. Despite being the most affordable option, Aldi's six-pack of 400g sausages at £2.49. Score: 17 out of 30 Sainsbury's. Sainsbury's Taste the Difference pork sausages tied for third place, praised for their flavour and size but criticised for their pale appearance after cooking. Priced at £3 for six, they cost 50p per sausage. Score: 19 out of 30. M&S. M&S also landed in joint third with Sainsbury's, with their sausages standing out for better colour but let down by texture, described as "chewy," and "quite fatty" with an "odd taste". At £4.25 for a 400g pack, they were deemed the priciest in the taste test. Lidl. Lidl's pork chipolata sausages took second place, earning praise for their "good colouring" and "herby" flavour post-cooking. Despite being thinner, they impressed with flavour and texture, offering good value at £2.49 for a 375g pack of 12. Score: 23 out of 30 Tesco Tesco triumphed as the winner with its Finest range pork sausages, lauded as "salty, juicy and meaty", and commended for both taste and size. In terms of cost, they are slightly pricier at £4 for a pack of four sausages, but they also contain the most meat: weighing in at 440g in total. The sausages themselves are also generously sized and ideal for hot dogs. Moreover, they tasted premium with a delightful mix of seasoning - not overly fatty or salty.

Now you can bring the nostalgic treat back with your air fryer and six simple ingredients you may already have in your cupboard. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 6 Do you remember the delicious sponge cake they used to dish up in schools? Credit: tiktok/@icelandfoods 6 If you want to make it at home - mix together self-raising flour, butter, eggs and caster sugar Credit: tiktok/@icelandfoods 6 Put it in your air fryer for around 30 minutes at 150C Credit: tiktok/@icelandfoods Iceland shared a clip showing how easy it is to recreate the tasty sponge cake in a few minutes. All you need to do is add 200g softened butter to 200g caster sugar and whisk it together. Next you need to add four large eggs and 200g self-raising flour. Once everything is mixed and combined, it should have the consistency of being able to drop off a spoon. There is also an option to add three tbsp of milk and a few drops of vanilla extract at this stage too. Then you can transfer the batter to a greased oven dish. If you have an air fryer, you should pop the dish in for 30-35 min at 150C - but if you are doing it in a normal oven it should be at 170C. Once it is baked and cooled, you can add melted icing sugar to the top and then sprinkles and voila - you are good to tuck in. With the summer holidays looming, it could be the perfect treat to make for kids and keep them occupied. Or why not make it just for you as a delicious throwback. Mrs Hinch shares epic air fryer nacho recipe that takes only 10 minutes to make & loaded with hidden veggies for the kids Many people were quick to comment on the video, with one saying: 'Omg this looks insane.'

The tray bake had a vanilla-flavoured sponge and was topped with buttercream and rainbow sprinkles. Shoppers shared their delight at the new find on the Facebook group Snack Reviews. One person said they "need to try these" while another wrote: "Shut the front door." Sadly, the 59p slice was only in Lidl stores across the country until June 11.
