If powerwashing is done with the right pressure it can be done. You can also get a bottle of bleach, and a (deck brush) . Pour some bleach and scrub with the brush, hose down. Bleach is something that you should not breathe. If you have. a concrete patio use the powerwashing method. My husband did ours, and it always looks great. You can rent a power washer at Homedepot or Lowe's for one day. It's better to powerwash after it rains, if you have no cover over your patio. Good Luck!
Ok, so what were the alternatives the builder provided? I just use a hose to clean mine. Occasionally use a bucket of water and Dawn dish soap and a stiff bristle long handled broom to scrubb then rinse with hose.
First time my husband used the power washer he had the pressure set too high and took off a small chunk of cement! This past year, we figured it out on the setting and it worked great. Took of years of dirt and crime.
Also I didn't see where anyone recommended sealing your concrete ( if it is) after the cleaning. Don't be afraid of the pressure washer. It is one of my favorite tools!
