Transform your backyard with this $30 Bunnings secret—you won't believe the results!

As we age, we often find joy in the simple pleasures of life, such as tending to our gardens and maintaining a beautiful home. For many of us, our backyard is a sanctuary where we can enjoy the fruits of our labour and the tranquillity of nature.

However, the harsh Australian climate can take a toll on our outdoor spaces, leaving fences and decks looking tired and weathered.

But fear not, fellow green thumbs and DIY enthusiasts! A recent discovery by an Aussie radio host has revealed a cost-effective way to breathe new life into your backyard.


Triple M Breakfast Radio Host Jay Shipton shared his excitement on social media after stumbling upon a little-known trick that can make an old, discoloured timber fence look ‘brand new’ again.

The secret lies in a $29.95 product from Bunnings that is incredibly easy to use.

‘When was somebody going to tell me that when your fence looks old after a while—you know that grey colour? You know the one I'm talking about,’ Shipton said in a video he posted online.

In the video, he shows his backyard fence, which appears somewhat faded and worn.

‘You can go to Bunnings and buy some stuff and spray on it, and then you gurney it off, and it looks f******* brand new again,’ he continued.

‘How do I not know this?’


The product in question is the Miracle Brands 5L Outdoor Cleaner, a powerful solution designed to ‘lift dirt, clean stains, and brighten surfaces’, according to its product description.

‘That's it, in case you're wondering,’ Shipton said, adding, ‘Good stuff.’

It's particularly effective against stubborn stains as it ‘wipes out stains from algae, mould and mildew for up to 6 months’.


This backyard tip has quickly gained attention, with many Australians expressing their amazement and eagerness to try it out for themselves.

Comments poured in from viewers who were impressed by the transformation and grateful for the tip.

‘Wow, that's amazing,’ one viewer remarked, while another mentioned, ‘I was looking at that stuff to clean the outside of the house.’

‘Never knew this,’ admitted a third, echoing the sentiment of many who were unaware of this straightforward solution.
