This is what I use.
1 gallon of vinegar, 1 cup of salt, and 1 tablespoon of Dawn.
Apply on a sunny warm day in the morning.
Mogie's recipe is perfect, be aware it will kill anything it touchs, including the surrounding plants and grass.
amonia
Horticultural vinegar with the added benefit of the area smelling like a salad for a day or two.
Heat up 1 cup of white vinegar, mix in about 1/4 cup of Dawn Premium. Not the dollar store kind, because it is too thin. When mixed, pour into a spray bottle and fill with water. Shake
A mixture of white vinegar, table salt, and Dawn dishwashing liquid will work well. I use 1 gallon vinegar, 1 cup of table salt, and 2 Tablespoons of Dawn. Mixt well, pour into spray bottle and spray on the weeds in the crcks. Within a day or two the weeds/grass will turn brown and die and will be easy to remove or sweep away.
I just use straight vinegar in my sprayer. I don't bother with salt, water, or Dawn. Works quickly.

I use straight vinegar in a spray bottle...just spray and it's gone.
2 cups white vinegar
¼ cup salt
Squirt of dawn
Mix in a spray bottle. If you have a larger area, you can mix in a garden sprayer with larger quantities. Use when it will not be raining for a few hours so that it isn’t washed away.
