With summer now here in full force, many green-fingered homeowners have been working on their gardens, whether that's banishing weeds or cleaning their patios . However, if your dull wooden fence is in a dire need of some TLC and you don't want to spend ages painting it over and over again, there's a hack that people have been raving about.
The trick involves ditching the paint brush and swapping it with a sponge - which costs just pennies. According to DIY fans, not only does this method save you time, but using this kitchen essential is also mess-free and won't ruin your plants and lawn as the paint drips. But while the trick has taken TikTok and other platforms by storm, is it really that effective?
