IT'S arguably one of the most boring tasks when it comes to maintaining a garden.

But one woman has come up with a genius hack to speed up the fence-painting process, and all you need is a microfibre dusting glove.

Alex took to TikTok to share the clever trick, as she wore one of the dusting gloves over a rubber glove and dipped the top of it into a pot of paint.

Once the top had enough paint on it, she used her hand to drag the paint up and down the panel.

And she admitted the hack made the painting a lot quicker.

"Wish I’d tried this sooner! All you need is a washing up glove, a microfibre dusting glove and your fence paint," she wrote.

"Great idea, but you'll loose so much paint," another added.
