UK woman reveals paddling pool hack that keeps it clean overnight

A savvy woman has revealed her budget hack to keep paddling pool water clean overnight amid the cost of living crisis.

Rachael Allenby, 43, shared her sister-in-law's tip, which helps avoid having to refill your paddling pool every day – and its simplicity has left people stunned.

Her sister-in-law, Nicola Sedgwick, 44, had told her this keeps bugs, leaves and other debris out of the water.

Rachael, who works in precision engineering, said: "I saw Nicola whipping out the fitted sheet and thought it's such a good idea.

"I'll 100% be trying it myself!
