I had a pile of wet leaves on my concrete patio and when I cleaned up the mess it left some pretty bad black and green stains on the concrete. How can I get rid of these?

They make cleaner to clean leaf stains from concrete. Check with different manufactures I know Seal King based in Toronto Canada makes many different cleaners. I would not recommend bleach, for it can leave marks and could kill any vegetation nearby.

Soap and water is a good start, use this and elbow grease to get up the worst of it.
Bleachwater is a good idea, but may etch your concrete and make life difficult for plants along the walk if you don't get it all up and there's not enough sun and rinsewater to evaporate and denature it.
Hydrogen peroxide should work pretty good. Pour it on and it will react into hydrogen and water, so there's nothing left to react with your plants' roots.

Well, a pressure washer and appropriate cleaner will do it for sure. You can try mixing up some mild bleach water and put a little down and scrub it with a brush or old broom. I don't know if you have planting nearby or not, but the bleach could harm them.

Write a song - lipstick on his collar and leaf stains on his concrete.

Lots of water. And washing powder.
