I need to clean my driveway. We have a small pressure washer but it doesn’t work well enough. Should I pretreat the driveway with something? What?

    Spray with 1/2 cup of bleach to 1 gallon of water. Then use your pressure washer. Check into a different attachment that rotates.

    Hi ! I used a product called wet it and forget it . It works over time...I used it for the first time at the end of last summer, and thought I would give it a second dose , in the worse areas, a short time later. Well I never got a chance to do a second application , but most of the areas that I though I would need to re do , are fine !

    I bought this in concentrated form and put it in a pump sprayer . Good luck !

    Bleach will work on a driveway. Brush it on and it will kill the spores and then pressure wash it. Just do not get any bleach on your clothes.

    Straight vinegar on it to kill the spores let sit 10-15 minutes scrub with brush/broom rinse then bleach on it to remove stain( if it leaves one) Both will affect surrounding plants so dilute them well
