Best thing I have used for cleaning concrete, wood, stone , fabrics , siding, is Wet & Forget. It comes concentrated snd you put it in a pump sprayer . Wet the surface, no scrubbing or rinsing needed. I even used it on our slate on our porch roof. The wind, sun and rain will clean it for you.

By the way, this video is great! That trellis that Emma gave you is such a great idea for the honeysuckle vine. I also noticed the trick you did with some of your planters: you placed a smaller planter inside of a large planter! Awesome idea! You and Steve really did a nice refresh on this back porch space! I love it! Your back porch needs to be showcased in a magazine!❤️

Cindy, I think it’s called a plant caddy. Years and years ago, my wonderful son gave me two alike for Mother’s Day. I have taken good care of them and I even bring them in in winter and use them for my big ole rubber tree and my huge ponytail palm to move them for cleaning. I love them. I don’t have your ability and I couldn’t have made them. You and hubby do some marvelous projects for your home and I love watching you. I believe your husband can fix anything, can’t he? I saw that piece he built in that shop in one of your videos and loved it. You all have a wonderful home and it’s fun to see all the things you make and improvements you do. Always enjoy your videos and been watching for a long time. Thanks for sharing your ideas with us!

Hi Sarah! Thanks for all of your kind words! They brighten my day 🥰 Thanks also for the term 'plant caddy' I'm the worst at bringing words to my mind! You are so right about my hubby's ability to fix anything! I come up with the idea and he always makes it happen. It makes for a great team effort! Thanks for watching our videos and being so supportive and encouraging. It really means so much to me! 🥰

Hi from Northern California Coast! 👋Im so happy to have found your channel & I’m a new subbie😊 I agree that sometimes bleach is the only thing that will work for that stubborn green “concrete carpet”. I also use Borax ( but def NOT combined with bleach!) to clean really stubborn areas of the patio, house & yard. Borax is AMAZING for cleaning pretty much EVERYTHING! Love that stuff!! I, too, enjoy breakfast of Greek yogurt & berries & walnuts every day. I’ve recently started adding lemon extract to the yogurt, mixing it in the yogurt thoroughly before adding the rest of the goodies. Then I top it off with maple syrup & I’m in HEAVEN! I SOOO look forward to breakfast every single day now! Just wanted to share a couple of my favorite tricks with a new favorite creator! Thanks for sharing your projects & inspiration with all of us!

Thank you so much Lori! You are always so encouraging!! We love this space and use it alot from spring to fall. The fireplace is especially nice on a chilly night during the fall with a hot bowl of chili! As for the chairs, they are super old, like 50 years old! They were given to me when the lady that I took care of for 20 years passed away at 93. She had them for at least thirty years. The best things about them, other than the cool low profile, is the aluminum frame. They have never ever rusted! Hopefully I can re-weave them because they are becoming tattered. Thanks again Lori!🥰

for rust - try a product called ' Whink Rust Stain Remover' ... comes in a brown squeeze type bottle found at hardware stores. Probably ranks up there w/ bleach - ha - but it works! Need to let it sit a bit and honestly I've never used on concrete. Hint - the word 'Whink' is smaller than the other words on the bottle for some reason.

Oh Cindy your back yard patio is so charming. With all your pretty plants n that big beautiful fireplace. I must say I have a little envy there. It’s been so stinken hot here in Florida that I have no energy to do much of anything. I would love to fix up my deck n I mean that literally. Have a lot of boards that need to be replaced n that takes $$$ that I just don’t have right now. Especially after having to get a hold new unit air conditioner which was $9,000.00 bucks. I’m really curious about your honeysuckle plant. I have several planted in the ground but they just don’t look too great. I’m wondering if I’d take one of them n put it in a pot n see if it would do better. They do bloom but they seem to die back some. Did Steve build that beautiful fireplace? It sure is nice looking n I bet you really enjoy it in the fall on cooler nights. You mentioned that you built your home. Well, must give where a compliment is due. I love it n how you designed it. Better go it’s getting dark. I’m outside by my garden n the mosquitoes are biting too. Loved the video. ♥️♥️♥️😊👍👍👍🌟🐾🐾 Ohpp

Thanks Shelly! We really enjoy the back patio. Steve built the fireplace several years ago and we have used it so many times! As for the honeysuckle, this is my first experience with a purchased honeysuckle. I'm hoping it does well because it cost $42! We have them growing wild in our woods but they are surrounded by poisen ivy. Otherwise, I would dig them up and put them in my yard! Thanks for spending time with me Shelly! Hope you have a great day 🥰

Nice video but watching someone pressure wash is like watching paint dry..bleach may not have been a good choice as it can leach into the concrete and cause damage if not sealed. Sealing the concrete would make any discoloration easier to remove. Using bleach will also cause damage to plants and lawn when rinsing it off
