What products can I try that will not harm the cement? Powerwashing is out of the question b/c it breaks the cement.

Electric pressure washers (1,500 psi) will not harm your cement, unless it is loose or cracked apart in some areas. Their water consumption is higher (4 gal/min) than gas washers and takes longer to clean due to the small nozzle of the pistol, but will do the work. You may pour Clorox (bleach) directly to the driveway and scrub it with a brush and rinse with water, but it is to much work and the results will not be as good as if you use the pressure washer.

I used a tile and stone cleaner on my driveway and it looks great. You will have to scrub it well with a scouring pad but the result will be worth the effort. You can buy this at Home Depot or Lowe's.

My dad runs his own development contractor company and have seen him try this many a time - it works.! once you have finished with the cement mixer, get as a variety of of the crap out with a trowel. Quarter fill it with water and throw in some apple sized stressful rocks (extremely soft ones). turn the cement mixer on (stand lower back cos of the splashes) and go away it for 5 minutes. turn it of any empty out the water leaving the drum dealing with down in one day to empty of the surplus water. supply IT A bypass!

There are two things that you can do...Rent a pressure washer and the other is buying a chemical for cleaning concrete.

I have used cat litter because it is a clay to soak upthe oil and then new cat litter walked on and scuffed to clean up driveways.

YOU WOULD MOST LIKELY HAVE TO PRESSURE WASH IT WHEN I WAS LITTLE MY MOM TOOK BLEACH AND WASHED THE DRIVEWAY WITH IT BUT I CAN'T GUARANTEE IT WOULD WORK FOR YOUR DRIVEWAY/WALKWAY!
