  • Our patio went from boring to inviting!
  • This is what our patio looked like after we pulled off the tape. It make a huge difference in this space.
  • We power washed the cement and than filled in the cracks with cement filler.
  • After the cracks were all filled and dried we then primed the patio with mold resistant primer.
  • After the primer dried we painted the patio porch and floor oil paint.This will be the color of the painted lines.
  • After the base color dried we taped off the patio before putting on the final paint color.
  • We painted with the red color over the cream and tape. Once the paint dried we pulled off the tape to create the lines for the tiles.

  • Years of hard water deposits and grime accumulated ove time.
  • 15 minutes later! Major difference!
  • Start by saturating the entire area with a 60-40 percent mixture of white vinegar and water. Spray the area liberally with a spray bottle and let the mixture sit for a few minutes. This will help loosen everything up
  • Then take an old handy dandy toothbrush and start scrubbing the water deposits. The gunk and hard water deposits will start to break off in little chunks. Then rinse with steaming hot water. 1
  • Now that you have cleaned off the top layer, grab a scouring pad to get the stubborn spots. Just moisten the pad with  a little hot water and begin scrubbing the crevices where the remaining water deposits are. 1
  • You can see the blue "soap" from the scouring pad where I had to scrub a little harder than the toothbrush would allow.
  • Now give it one final rinse with hot water and use your dry eraser to clean off smudges. This step kind of "polishes" it off but is not necessary if you don't have any minor surface level scuffs.
  • One final rinse and a wipe down with a paper towel and you are done my friend! And no harmful chemicals were used which is a bonus!
  • Voila! Now your sink faucet shines like a brand new one!!! With a little elbow grease and a couple cleaning tools and supplies you have saved yourself lots of money and can prolong the life of your existing sink and faucet! 1
