The best way is to use a pressure cleaner. The second best way is to use pool chlorine 50/50with water put in a sprayer - saturate cement surface - then hose off with a pressure nozzle. This is easy to do -- just make sure you dont spill the pool chlorine on your body I have a scar on my ankle where the chlorine ate through my skin years ago Good luck -k-
