🧹 Freshen Up Your Decking
After a long, damp winter 🌧️, your garden decking might be looking a little worse for wear. But don’t worry — with a few tools and a bit of elbow grease, it’s easy to restore.
Start by spraying a mould and mildew remover (available at most garden centres) across your decking. Be sure to read the label carefully 📖. Then grab your Dishmatic Big Job Brush, dampen it with lukewarm water 💧, and scrub the boards thoroughly. The combination of cleaner and scrubbing action will lift away dirt, moss, and grime.
To finish, simply rinse using a garden hose 🚿 or a bucket of water 🪣 for a fresh, clean finish. You won’t believe the difference — check out our before and after transformation [🎥 Watch].

🔥 Tackle the BBQ
Let’s face it: we’ve all looked at last summer’s BBQ and wondered what exactly is burnt onto the grill 😬. But don’t panic — getting it clean again is easier than you think.
The Dishmatic Scrubbee is up to the task 💪. Start by spraying on some vinegar if you spot any rust, then scrub away the residue. For extra tough spots, make a paste of baking soda and water 🧼, apply to the problem area, leave to sit, then scrub clean.
Finish off with a quick wipe of the BBQ’s exterior using the Dishmatic Tear N’ Wipe Microfibre Cloth — perfect for removing fingerprints and food residue with just a few swipes ✨.

🪑 Revive Wooden Garden Furniture
Wooden outdoor furniture can collect dirt and grime, but it only takes a gentle touch to bring it back to life 🌞. Use Dishmatic Wonder Scrubs soaked in hot, soapy water to gently wipe down each piece. These non-scratch sponges are ideal for wooden surfaces 🧽.
For more stubborn marks, Gardeningetc recommends using 120-grade sandpaper to carefully sand away dirt without damaging the wood’s surface 🪵.

☂️ Clean Your Garden Parasol
After a winter in the shed or months outdoors, parasols often need a little TLC 💨. Start by lightly spraying the fabric with a hose to loosen any dust or cobwebs 🕸️.
Next, apply an outdoor fabric cleaner evenly across the parasol.
Grab your Dishmatic Big Job Brush and scrub in circular motions — the dirt should lift right off. With a bit of effort, your parasol will be looking like new again 🎉

🪴 Sanitize Flower Pots for Reuse
Reusing old flower pots is great for sustainability 🌍, but soil left behind can harbour bacteria, viruses, and fungi — all of which can harm your new plants.
Begin by emptying each pot completely, then use the Dishmatic Big Job Brush to scrub away any leftover debris. Prepare a weak bleach solution (1 part bleach to 9 parts water), submerge the pots for around 30 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with the garden hose 🚿. Let them dry naturally in the sun ☀️ before replanting.
