  1. Thank you so much! You went above and beyond for us. I’m planning on cleaning my outside areas so I was looking to see which cleaner I should purchase. I can’t recommend one to you but I can tell you one to stay away from, and that’s Collier’s 30 second Outdoor Cleaner. It smells so much like bleach and I couldn’t tell if it cleaned or not. Now that’s saying something! Fortunately the store where I purchased it refunded my money.

    I then found a DIY recipe on Pinterest that the author swore by. One ingredient was Onyclean and another was TSP. Some stores want to stay green so they don’t sell it and their substitution doesn’t work! I tried it. I’m still anxious to try again with the proper ingredients to see what happens. Another thing I tried was CLR. It was experimental, and it didn’t work either.

    I know oxidation is the key to success in a lot of things. I just cleaned my grout using a DIY recipe I got from Pinterest with a different author who swore by hers too. Trust me, she’s telling the truth! I sprayed a little bit of vinegar on a section of my Ceramic tile floor. Then I sprinkled some baking soda over the grout lines within that area. The last step is to apply white vinegar on top of the baking soda. I deviated slightly from the recipe and it still worked. I let it sit for about two hours, and then scrubbed The lines with a toothbrush. I was awestruck! It cleaned it so well. I have pictures but I’m not sure if I can upload them here.

    With that, I will let you know what I end up using along with the results.

    1. Dear Gwen,

      Please let me know what you will be using in the end and what results you’ll get.

      Kind regards,

  2. A heavy dump truck has left black tread marks across my sidewalk and paver driveway. What would you suggest for the tire marks? Neighbors have complained!!
    Thank you in advance for your suggestion.

    1. Dear Mary,

      First of all thanks for contacting me.

      I would suggest you go with either the Krud Kutter Orange Concrete Cleaner or any other cleaner that has citric extracts.

      Apply it on the marks and let it soak in for a few minutes. Then with a soft bristles brush start scrubbing the area. As a final step, you will need to rinse all the area with a high-pressure nozzle.

      Keep in mind that you might need to repeat this process at least 2-3 times until the marks are finally removed.

      Hope this helps!

      Kind regards
      Kevin
