Leaves

[Jonathan Ellis]

What product removes leaves ground into concrete? As leaves have been falling, I have noticed that when they sit and get walked over / ran over, the imprint of the leaves gets ground into the concrete. Hot water, turbo's, caustic, acid, butyl's = ineffective. What works?

Cheap 6% bleach will make them disapear like magic.

Always try hotwater first. I would imagine your talking about the stain. Trevor showed me a movie joint in Maryland that was horrible. He said it would all come out, i dont deal with Leaves much here in the desert so i cant pin point what one work better.

I know at least 100 guys here have delt with this.

Ditto on the Love !! Clean surface first then apply a light coat of straight Love over the surface and it will remove it and brighten up the concrete. If that dont work OX will definitly work.

12.5 % will kill and make anything that is of an organic nature dissapear such as Leaf stains, acorn stains etc...All you need is a light coat from a pump up or 12volt system or a strong mix if you want to DS it.

Yeap. Just make sure to apply it AFTER cleanig the concrete. Don't need to rinse again.

What causes it to stain, all leaves don't "leaves" stains....just certain ones??

Not sure if all leaves will do it. But I would think so.

Anybody think TSP would actaully work?
