Somehow, when the mulch people delivered our red mulch, the tarp on the driveway was no longer there. They put a huge load of red mulch on the driveway. The red mulch left a huge stain.
We have tried washing it with soap and water, with vinegar, and with a driveway stain remover. Although the stain has gotten lighter, it is still quite visible.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

When you say you washed it - did you power wash it? That might be the ticket!

If all else fails, try F9 BARC. I think we got it from Amazon. My husband washed our golf cart in our driveway when the house was new and the old owner of the cart had not properly maintained it, so battery acid went all over our driveway to the point that we thought we might have to have a concrete company come out and resurface our driveway. Battery acid is IMPOSSIBLE to remove. F9 BARC removed almost all of it after we had tried countless other methods. If it will remove rust and battery acid, it will surely work on mulch stains. |

My 8th grade art teacher drank Pepsi out of glass bottles way back when. She told us how she dropped the 8 pack and it hit the driveway. Took the oil stains off. Maybe Pepsi would work?

Googled "mulch stain on concrete" and one person said Simple Green and a power washer got it off. Another used pool chlorine and a power washer.

Thanks all!
It just made me sick to see the stain when we are trying to sell our house and make it look its best.
