While many sacrifice their time and backs by making endless trips to the kitchen to boil the kettle to keep the water warm, one mum has found a hack to save you time and effort.

Natalie, from the UK, took to social media to share the savvy hack just in time for summer.

She revealed that he keeps the warm for the kids to enjoy and all you need is a few black bin bags.

Natalie said: “PSA: If you toss some black bin bags in the paddling pool now, it’ll take the chill off the water for when the kids get in from school.”;

“Make sure you cover as much of the paddling pool’s surface as possible! You’re welcome.”;

The hack works as dark colours like black, absorb the heat from the sun instead of reflecting it away.

This then keeps the water underneath nice and warm without having to use your hot water.

If you want to try the easy trick for yourself, you can purchase a roll of 10 large wheelie bin liners for just £2.44 in Asda.

For a smaller pool you’ll only need to use one at a time which will cost you 24p.

What’s even better is that you can hang the liner to dry in the sun while the kids are in the pool to reuse it and save even more .

The clip posted to her TikTok account @mrsnatalieruthwilson was a hit with parents.

People were quick to take to the comments and were eager to try it for themselves.

One person wrote: “Great idea!”;

Another commented: “This actually works!”;

“It does! My mum used to do it when I was a child,”; replied Natalie.

“I did this last year... my moron cat thought it was solid ground, fell in and popped the pool in her desperation to escape,”; penned a third.

Meanwhile a fourth said: “We’ll do this.”;
