NOW that we are officially entering spring, Brits will be starting to think about heading into their gardens and making sure they’re ready for the sunny days ahead.
After the gruelling winter the UK has endured, many of those with gardens may notice that their outdoor spaces are in serious need of some TLC.
However, gardening isn’t everyone’s most favourable task – so it’s always helpful when hacks are shared to make those garden jobs easier.
Karoline, who is known as ‘karoline.gorog.94’ on TikTok, has shared a clever video on her social media page.
In the video, Karoline filmed herself using an old Febreze spray bottle, which is typically used for air freshener.
She captioned the video: “Painting my garden fence and I hate getting in between the panels; it takes forever.
“Not sure if it’s been done before, but put some of the paint in a spray bottle, and it worked a treat! Winning at life.”
She added her garden paint into the bottle and sprayed it between her panels, which usually would need a paintbrush.
The video shows that using the spray bottle helps to get into those annoying spots.
In her comments section, Karoline reiterated that she used fence paint, and added it into a spray bottle.
Her video gained over 34,000 views with many people rushing to the comments section to share their thoughts.

Rather than using a brush, Simon suggested using a sponge and explained: “The flexibility and porousness of a sponge make it the perfect tool for painting your fence.
“It can mould around and reach into any nooks and indentations in the wood, allowing for smooth coverage even on the most textured fence panels.”
