I have DIY'ed many painted floors over the years, but with this DIY project I cracked the code, still going strong 2.5 years later. It's also not a covered patio, exposing the floor every day to the outdoor elements like rain and sun. I used roof paint because of its durability and it paid off!
1| Mix your Polycell Sugar Soap according to the instructions on the pack. Using the wire brush, rags, and water in a bucket, thoroughly clean the surface and allow to dry.
