The boys were playing with modeling clay, (while unsupervised), and smooshed it into the concrete sidewalk leading up to the front door. It seems to be oil based so I cannot scrub it away, water just rolls right off, and the concrete is porous, so a spackling knife only helped in removing the raised parts. Whatever we do, the clay only adheres more. Anyone have any suggestions?

You could use a bristle brush with stiff bristles and some dish soap. That's how I get it off my table.

Try using some ice to freeze it...it works with chewing gum...you harden the clay with the ice and then it just chips away....just a suggestion.

Stiff brush, like a wire brush.

rent a pressure washer with about 2500 psi,or wal mart sells one for about 200 dollars and you can use it for multiple uses.

Try loosening it with a paint thinner or turpentine.

maybe u can melt it off with sunlight and then it will just peel off....i would just wait and see if that wears it away
or a hot iron?
