If you are starting your fall yard cleanup to pack up your outdoor furniture and garden accessories and notice spots and stains on your patio, you can remove these with baking soda (get a bunch at the Dollar Store to save money). Pour water over any dirty areas and cover with a thick layer of baking soda. Let this mixture set for 10 minutes, then pour boiling water over it. The absorbent baking soda will soak up any surface oils while the boiling water breaks down and washes away any grease. Now you’ll be ready for outdoor fun when spring comes around.
