The hack helps people shorten the time it takes to paint their garden fences this summer.
Since the sun continues to shine, the perfect time is now to get overdue garden jobs from the list. Painting the garden fence is often a strenuous task that many tend to do until they really have to.
As discouraging as a job may be, a social media influencer believes that a simple hack makes the process faster and cheaper without the usual trouble and does not affect a brush or spray.
Clare, also known as @Mrsclarehoops, said that fast technology was by far the best that it has ever seen. Clare, known for her abundance of DIY tips and tricks, said: “Only one memory: If you paint fences this weekend, you should try the sponge method.
“Take a large yellow sponge, I like to chop it in half, but you could use it fully,” she added. “Then you have two sponges. It's a bit chaotic, so you will want a few rubber gloves. I have tried so many different methods for painting fences over the years, and this is far the fastest.
“It may not be the most beautiful, but it's the fastest.”
The Tikok creator showed its sponge technology to its viewers, reports the Express.
The method is refreshingly simple and incredibly effective: everything you need is a large yellow sponge, rubber gloves to keep your hands clean and a bowl of color.
You can either use the entire sponge or cut it in two halves for a better grip, especially if you have smaller hands or prefer a more comfortable loading space.
In the video you can see Clare how he simply dives the yellow sponge in her selected color before applying evenly over the fence plates.
She explained: “It just slides on and gets into all the really bumpy parts. So it is not the cleanest, but it is definitely the fastest and sometimes speed is what you need.”
Clares video quickly achieved popularity and achieved over 2.2 million views and 73,000 likes.
Large yellow sponges can be bought in various DIY shops and supermarkets for 46p each.
The technology was called “fastest fence painting hack” and the commentators expressed their agreement.
User @dryad wrote: “Thanks. I have to do mine this year and use a big brush, but it's always so uncomfortable.”
In the meantime @Dan.smith praised the technology and advised: “This is absolutely awesome, paints fences in minutes, but I would recommend cleaning the fences of the algae first.”
When asked whether the color with the sponge method ever drips to the other side of the fence, Clare Hoops assured: “Not really, you can still control the spread when you are careful.”
