A MUM has revealed her genius tip for keeping your kids' paddling pool clean in between uses – and it's sure to save you a lot of time this summer.
With summer finally here, Britain's paddling pools are getting a lot of use – as parents scramble to keep their kids cool.
But, as any paddling pool owner is aware, they have a frustrating habit of attracting leaves and bugs when not in use.
So what's the solution?
Mum-of-eight Deborah Hitchens, of the Family Days Tried & Tested Facebook group, shared a hack suggested by fellow mother Sarah Jane Bennett last year.
She suggests using an old fitted sheet to cover the pool when it's not in use – and it's gone down a treat on social media.

While Olivia Grace Lofts labelled the tip a "game changer", and Chloe Lea said it was a "fab idea".
Mumsnetters have also discussed the hack in the past, with one woman saying: "If the pool is right shape it works perfect".
