Due to a miscommunication, plants waiting to be planted were placed on my patio. Now I have round marks all over the light grey surface.

Thanks in advance,

If you have access to a pressure washer, you can mix a solution and use that. It might be worth renting one vs. hand scrubbing.

  Thanks Kathy, that was a good idea about the pressure washer I can use one of the remedies up above. You're right it would take forever to scrub the patio.
