It dried and the instructions said to just sweep the stuff up. It broke apart with the broom and the stains were gone, just swept up the powder pieces — took about a minute. I WAS SHOCKED! Something that actually works on oil and it's easy. Absolutely NO sign of anything that was there. My driveway is smooth concrete so I can't vouch for what would happen with a rougher surface but whoever makes this stuff is a genius.

One coat of this stuff on a clean rag, and it's totally refreshed! Now, it's not going to fix places where the finish is completely worn off (you have to sand for that), but it will significantly improve the appearance of the wood. And it makes watermarks disappear.

I've Tested Countless Swimsuits, and These Tankinis Are My Vacation Favorites—From $28
When it comes to travel essentials, tossing a swimsuit or two in your carry-on is always a good idea. Summer is the perfect time to treat yourself to new vacation swimwear that's versatile, comfortable, and flattering. If you love the convenience of a two-piece, but prefer a little more coverage than your typical bikini, you'll be happy to know tankinis are trending again—and today's styles are more flattering than ever. The best part? Tankinis are perfect for mixing and matching, so you can shop for separates as well as sets. Keep scrolling for my favorite tankini swimsuits from Boden, Summersalt, Cupshe, and more shopper-loved swimsuit brands, starting at $28. Best Tankini Swimsuits Cupshe V-neck Criss-cross Ruched Tankini Amazon I recently took this Cupshe tankini on a Colorado road trip and was pleasantly surprised at how stylish and functional it was. The top provided impressive lift and support, and the ruching was so flattering, I even posted a few selfies on Instagram from my waterfall hike to Treasure Falls. I loved wearing this suit to the hotel pool, then just slipping on pants and wearing the top like a tank when I had to run back to the room or stop by the lobby bar. Travel + Leisure Carve Designs Stinson Tankini Amazon There are so many great tankini tops at Amazon, like this style from Carve Designs. Keep things simple by grabbing a basic bikini bottom and then mixing and matching with different tops.

Seriously, once you slip into this Beachsissi tankini set, you'll be ready to head to the pool or beach with confidence. I love the selection of solid tops and floral print bikini bottoms. My favorites are the sky blue top with cornflower bottoms and the light pink top with orange blossom bottoms. Tommy Hilfiger Classic Bikini Bottom Amazon If you're looking for a basic bikini bottom to pair with a variety of tankini tops, this Tommy Hilfiger is it. This classic bottom provides UPF 50+ sun protection, comes in a variety of colors, and earns top reviews for comfort and rear coverage. One shopper praised the cut of the bottom, saying, '[It's] hard to find a suit with good rear coverage. This one is perfect.' Boden Enhancer Tankini Top Boden If you're seeking a swimsuit with great support, look no further. A halter-style tankini with a true built-in bra (underwire and padded cups), the Enhancer Tankini from Boden was made to flatter. According to reviewers, the suit works well for both small and large busts, with a 38DD shopper saying it fit perfectly, and another small-busted reviewer noting, 'This tankini top is super flattering on my modest 34A bust. It fits really well without any gaping, and the padding gives a much-needed bit of shape.' Lands' End Tulip Hem Tankini Top Land's End Lands' End has gone all in on tankinis. With five fit categories (classic length, modern length, midkini length, high neck, and plus-size) and dozens of styles, it's easy to find the cut and color that best suits your body type.

Patagonia Cami Tankini Top REI As you would expect, REI has several sporty tankini options. I like this Cami Tankini Top from Patagonia that reminds me of my favorite yoga sports bra. It's a supportive, full-coverage top that holds you in securely for swimming in the ocean or frolicking with the kids in the hotel pool. The top is available in black or a beautiful, subtly striped blue. For the bottoms, choose from a variety of Patagonia styles with a range of coverage, from bikini bottoms to board shorts.

12 Best Outdoor Benches To Upgrade Your Yard
A two-person acacia wood woven rope bench that's as pretty as it is comfortable. This will be the perfect place to sit outdoors while you scroll TikTok for hours (just don't forget the sunscreen). A wicker bench with a cushion to turn any corner of your yard into a sit-and-stay-a-while spot. The weather-resistant frame and cushion will handle summer storms without a fuss, and its 700-pound capacity means it'll hold you, your favorite person, and maybe even a tray of lemonade with ease. Promising review: "Holds over 600 pounds with ease, much nicer than the price point suggests. It's deep enough from front to back to sit comfortably. The cushion is comfortable, and the slight give of the weaving underneath the cushion makes a very soft, supportive seat. I am very, very impressed with the quality of this bench, especially considering that similar benches cost two to three times as much. I kind of expected this bench to have cut corners, and was very pleased to find that the quality is equal to much more expensive benches. I highly recommend this product!" —B BaGet it from Amazon for $89.99+ (available in 14 color combos). A storage bench if you need a comfy perch *and* a place to stash your outdoor stuff.

Promising review: "I bought this bench a year and a half ago, and I purposely waited to post this review until I had the opportunity to see how the bench would hold up. Well, it looks just as nice and works just as well as when I first purchased it! It's attractive and sturdy. I keep it outside, by my front door. The seat lifts up, with plenty of WATERPROOF storage underneath. I keep my mucking boots, running shoes, etc., in this bench, and everything has consistently stayed dry, even in the most blustery storms. I love the appearance and functionality of this product. It was well worth the price! Highly recommend!" —MHGet it from Amazon for $156.99+ (available in two widths). Or a resin storage bench if you prefer something with no upkeep.

The weight and quality are better than any we examined in person at local retail. Very happy." —E. it from Amazon for $197.99+ (available in seven colors).

We have left ours up since we got it, since it's usually just my husband and I sitting on it, but it's nice to know we can put it down if we need extra seating.
