BTW my answer comes from working as a Chief Engineer for several hotels. The only thing is that some of the laundry detergents that were used at the hotels were probably a little more caustic than most consumer products.

I know one of the Home depot employee's that works in the electronics dept.
I worked with him at a computer repair job for working on school district computers, he's also been an electrical contractor and a HAM radio operator for many years, designed and built many radios and antenna's.
Of course there can be exectptions.

just get a $80 pressure washer...it works wonders and you don't need any cleaning agents (it will also make a huge difference)...with the pressure washer you can also wash your car, clean decks, houses, windows, etc. it's a wonderful item as i've used it to clean my house/driveway/deck/sidewalk as we were putting it up for sale...never even had to use any detergents or chemicals

OKey dokey, here's what you gotta do. Buy like 100 boxes of Crest White Striuips and carefully stick them down on the concrete, being careful not to leave any gaps between the strips. Leave them on for 45 minutes or so. Wait 3 hours and repeat the process. The results will be spectacular. :goodjob:
