SHOPPERS have been praising a cleaning spray branded "absolutely amazing" for getting garden furniture into shape ahead of the summer months.
After the cold and wet weather of winter, it's no surprise that many of us are finding patios sets, cushions and outdoor rugs in need of a freshen up.
Now one savvy shopper has shared how they used a bargain spray to make such items "spotless".
Posting on the B&M Bargains, Extreme Money Saving Deals and More Facebook group, they said: "This stuff is absolutely amazing!!
"I wish I took before and after photographs of the little fabric seat I cleaned. It's been stored in the shed waiting for the next grandchild but was covered in mould.

"I sprayed it with this and left it to soak. Omg it's spotless."
The spray in question is the Astonish Mould and Mildew Blaster.
You can pick up the 750ml cleaning product for just £1.39 in B&M.
It's also on shelves for £1.49 at The Range, Asda, and £1.50 from Sainsbury's, Iceland and Poundland.
B&M shoppers will have to head to one of the bargain chain's more than 700 stores, as there's no online ordering.
You can find your nearest B&M by using the store locator tool on the retailer's website.
If you're buying elsewhere remember there may be delivery costs on top if you're ordering online for home delivery or collection.
The "cheap and effective" spray claims to remove tough stains with no need to scrub - and others seem to agree.
Another shopper responded: "I used this to spray on my blinds in the conservatory put towels on windowsill opened the doors the muck just drips of they came up like new!
"No taking them down and having to put them in washing machine."

Others shared the spray, which has an apple fragrance, has worked on mould on outdoor fences, garden slabs and ornaments, garden cushions.
"Even my garden ornaments when they get all that green on them from one year to the next, brings them up like new," said one happy shopper.
And another said: "I cleaned my old hot tub as it had gone mouldy. It looked brand new after using this."
Mould, mildew, algae and moss can build up outside on things like patios, decking, walls and fences due to damp weather and being in the shade.
Fabric on items like outdoor cushions can also be more susceptible to the issue as the material is porous, even when stored away in somewhere like a shed.
And it's not limited to outdoor use either, as several commenters said they found success using it for bathrooms, the rubber seal in washing machine.
One person raved: "I use it for everything. Great in shower for the grout."
Another said: "I've used this on my walls with wallpaper on its great for mould."
Whatever you're using the spray on, it's always worth doing a small patch test first so you know it's suitable for the surface you're using it on.
Instructions also advise using in a well-ventilated area and that it can cause skin and eye-irritation, so wear gloves and eye protection.
It's also advised that you avoid mixing it with any other cleaning products as this can cause a dangerous reaction.
You'll also want to avoid contact with clothes to avoid any staining.

Baking soda – also known as "bicarbonate of soda" – for as little 65p for 200g from Asda can solve the issue..
Fiona Jenkins from MyJobQuote.co.uk told The Sun: “Baking soda is a clever little item you can use to remove the green.
"Simply sprinkle some over the affected area and leave it overnight.
"Then, the next day, all you need to do is sweep away the remnants.”
