Re: [DIY] Brick Paver leaf stains

This is pool acid and worked great on my concrete drive..

like Crest..made it white!! LOL

Be aware that the wide push broom you will use to scrub with the

acid is a sacrificial item and it's bristles will shortern in a race

with the length of the driveway!

For concrete whitening, Muriatic Acid is usually used. Never done it myself.

Sorry I can not give you any answers.I have an ash tree as well as a soft maple tree that drops leaves on an outside cement floor .Where the leaves drop and get rained on over the winter, the cement will turn black. I too would like to know how to brighten the cement.

I was away a few days and the combination of leaves, mostly maple but some oak, and rain have stained my new brick paver patio.

Does anyone have any idea how i can at least get some of this dark staining out?
