Driveway Stains - Keith L - 07-08-2016
while on vacation some Maple tree limbs came down on the driveway and the leaves left black stains. I have tried Krud Kutter siding cleaner and power washed. Not any good results. ANY SUGGESTIONS?

Let me park my old truck on your drive for a couple days. You won't notice the maple stains.

I take it you are talking about a concrete driveway? And it's not sealed?
You might try oxalic acid or deck brightener. Just a guess.

Try laundry soap. Just wet it down and pour some tide on it and let it sit.
Next day scrub with a stiff broom or power wash. We used this in a shop where we worked on heavy equipment, worked great and cheap.

I get oak leaf stains on my concrete drive - the sun bleaches it out quite nicely.
You might give it a try.

LMAO.....might be worth a shot to try tide laundry detergent, wet it down, apply, scrub with a floor broom, rinse.

Might be alge growth, try one of the bleach based or phosphate based cleaners.
