With spring just around the corner and hopefully some better weather on its way, now is the time to start thinking about improving a neglected winter garden, especially where nature has tried to add algae, lichen and mould to patios, fences, sheds and even windows during the dark and cold months.

Garden lovers have spotted a cleaning spray so effective it banishes the unsightly, slippy harzards from your property. It's the Spear & Jackson Spray and Leave Concentrated Mould, Algae and Lichen Remover, currently reduced by 47% on Amazon and priced down from £29.99 to £15.99 for a 5 litre container.

The product covers approximately 100-250 square metres depending on how dirty the surface is and, according to the manufacturer, can be used on patios, roofs, fencing, upvc windows, sheds, caravans, boats, decking and driveways, removing algae, green mould and lichen.

The Spear & Jackson Spray and Leave Concentrated Mould, Algae and Lichen Remover is an Amazon's Choice product, a tag which the company uses to highlight highly rated, well-priced products available to ship immediately.

The product has amassed over 1,105 five-star ratings on Amazon, with glowing reviews from satisfied customers. One customer praised the product's effectiveness, stating: "Just literally spray and leave and you soon notice the difference. I do my drive twice a year and it always looks like new. Very easy to put on too, kills moss and cleans marks", reported Wales Online. 

Another reviewer was initially sceptical but ended up being impressed, saying: "I have bought other types of driveway cleaner and they haven't worked very well so I was a bit sceptical as to whether this product would, however I was so impressed.

"I would definitely buy this product again without a doubt and recommend it to family and friends. I also like the fact that it says on the label it will continue to work over a period of time to keep moss etc at bay."

However, not all customers were pleased. One customer who used Spear & Jackson Spray and Leave Concentrated Mould, Algae and Lichen Remover on moss was disappointed, noting: "I am sure it said on the product description that it kills moss. Anyway that is what I had searched on Amazon for and this was identified as suitable. So I bought this to kill the moss on the drive.

"Suffice it to say it did not any impact on the moss (well it's been two weeks now). Now looking for another more suitable product."

Other options include the Wet and Forget Patio Cleaner Outdoor Mould Lichen and Algae Remover Multi Surface, available in a two-litre size from B&Q's website for £18.89, and the Barrettine Mould and Mildew Cleaner, which can be purchased from Toolstation for £14.48 for four litres.
