- To one gallon of water, add in the baking soda, dish washing liquid, and peroxide.
- Make sure patio is swept clean and free from debris. If there seems to be things stuck on, be sure to spray the patio down too.
- With a large scrub broom or scrub brush, apply the solution to the concrete and scrub back and forth, side to side.
- Make sure all concrete is saturated, allow it to sit for 15-20 minutes.
- Rinse off

Has anyone tried this on indoor tile? My floor is very porous and I need a good cleaner.
