We may test drive it for the second time with a (cheap) bottle of Bordeaux this week, or in two weeks.

 

See that BLUE POT

behind dave's head...... well its been there since the pool was built 8 years ago, have always had the drip line running to it but we put some putty in the coping seam to prevent the dirty water from draining INTO the pool. Stay with me
a few weeks back I went to yank a weed growing in it out and my hand landed into some mucky wet soil
turns out the pot had not drained for awhile and since had become SUPER heavy
upon moving it we noted the coping which is the smaller concrete sections you see had sunk

I have since re located the pot way back to bark edge but theres a yucky stain on the coping there brownish which won't come off not to mention the dropped a bit coping

if you haven't left yet heres my ?

What type of cleaner will remove stains from concrete? I've tried a few & no luck even hit it with the power washish hose. We may need to have the coping fixed somehow but I would like to at least get the reminder of the pot draining there off

 

wow looking back the yard has changed evolved so much over the years

 

Did you try that CLR stuff Mom?
You may want to start with basics equal part vinegar and water OR baking soda and water.

 

The craziest stuff I've ever used was McD grill cleaner when I was at McDonald's: it got gum and gum stains off of the corner of the curb of the restaurant. I'd start with industrial grill cleaner, and then see what happens. Otherwise, vinegar/water or baking soda/water might be good too. Baking soda/vinegar is a bad idea. Also, cough syrup and Sprite is a bad idea.

 

What if Mom drinks cough syrup and Sprite. Maybe then the stain won't bother her.

 

 

YOU worked at McD's

Well I did see your assistants suggestion of the Baking Soda & the Vinegar so I took some out there with a bowl of water mixed one at time and scrubbbbbbbbbed then yeah I did pour vinegar over the residue and it bubbled up
I kept scrubbbbbbing with both a bristle brush and a not industrial wire one ( don't wanna F up the Coping buffer )
I then hit it with just the very strong force hose water and I will say it looks a lil better

I may hit it with the Harbor Freight cheap power washer soon too.

Tanks

 

Maybe it will, maybe it's Maybelline.

 

Yeah for what and how much we drink I don’t think it’s worth it.
