Thanks to Procter & Gamble and The Home Depot for sponsoring this post.
This giveaway is now closed. The winner is:
Spring came late to the Carolinas this year. So, I might have jumped the gun by setting up our patio when we had one pretty, warm day a couple of months ago.
Then came the pollen (or yucky, yellow powder) that covers everything around here every year.
We had some friends over for Memorial Day, so I spent part of the weekend giving our patio a big wipe down:
I used Mr. Clean Outdoor Pro spray on the lamp and console table and was pleasantly surprised at how well it worked on our grimy grill:
I’m already a fan of Mr. Clean Magic Erasers for inside walls, but now they make them for outdoor areas, as well. I used one to clean the pollen off of our patio furniture. And, they worked great for getting the scuff marks and dirty handprints off of our (much-used) back door:
Since I was cleaning, I decided I might as well do a little rearranging, too.
Remember, this is how our patio looked last summer:
I just changed our seating area around a little, painted the garden stools blue, and added this colorful rug.
Isn’t it funny how just changing your furniture around can make you feel like you have a whole new space?
Is your outdoor space ready for summer sitting? One of my readers will win this prize pack of Mr. Clean Outdoor Pro cleaning products plus a $50 gift card to The Home Depot! To enter, just leave a comment on this post (and a way to contact you, in case you win).
Giveaway ends Friday, May 31st. Good luck!

May 28, 2013 at 7:05 pmAs always, your posts inspire and encourage re-arranging what we already own and love! I had an Erin Brockovich moment last week that I must share! It is concerning an outdoor rug that mildewed in one year. I was so frustrated, as my previous rug, from Frontgate, lasted 12 years. After many, many emails and pleading my case, the company (a large conglomerate in Manhattan) agreed to replace the rug for free, even though their warranty and the store’s warranty had expired. Victory!

May 28, 2013 at 10:07 pmI do love the magic erasers. I didn’t know they had them for outside. I’ve just used the regular ones. They are the only thing that cleans my white picket fence. Love them.

May 28, 2013 at 11:17 pmI would love to try those Mr. Clean products – I’m cleaning the patio every day with the weather here in Chicago. And more flowers from Home Depot would be a plus.

I can’t wait to get my patio set up for this year.
Stephanie says
May 29, 2013 at 4:04 amThe patio looks really good with the couch at the back – so welcoming from the yard. Thanks for sharing. I’m definitely picking up some of that Mr. Clean for our yard. The pollen is everywhere.

Quiltin' Jenny says
May 29, 2013 at 12:16 pmI just bought some plants to redo my containers on our back deck, and was trying to decide how to make it more like a room out there. I have questions about the rug and the cushions; do you bring the cushions in when it rains? How do you keep it from getting soggy and disgusting? How long does a rug hold up in the weather? Are you constantly having to clean out there?
I would love some logistical advice about an outside room. Yours is gorgeous!
Thanks for the giveaway.
Emily A. Clark says
May 29, 2013 at 12:27 pmWell, the cushions are made for outdoors so they can take some abuse. I don’t pull them up every time it rains and the sun just dries them out :) If I know we’re expecting a big rain, then I will grab the ones that aren’t under the overhang of our house and pile them up in the corner of our patio.
The rug is from here: http://emilyaclark.blogspot.com/2013/04/a-new-outdoor-rug-for-our-patio.html Because of what it’s made of, I would expect it to last a long time. . .
I don’t constantly clean my patio–or anything else :)
Naz says
May 29, 2013 at 12:22 pmI’d like to know which paint product you used to change the garden stools.

Colleen says
May 29, 2013 at 6:11 pmWe don’t have a pollen problem like that here in Wisconsin, but we do live near a foundry, so we get grayish-black soot (or something) on everything. I bet this would take it off. :)
