I thought this was a gardening discussion, not Home Depot! LOL Really it is pretty hard to get stains out of concrete. You might consider staining the stain. There are products at Home Depot, of course, that literally absorb into the concrete and therefore don't flake off and need to be repainted like real paint. We powerwashed the floor of our greenhouse retail shop and got it as clean as possible and then added 2 coats of a sandy colored stain with a roller and it looks damn good. I also stenciled a little rug onto the center section. Some of the stains are opaque and some are more solid, but they work very well, indoors or outdoors. GL Bernice. 7.

I wish I could come and lend a hand to you. It's really not that hard. Just remember that concrete is porous and absorbs anything that goes on it. You could probably create your own artwork by throwing colorful foods, salsas, fruits etc...Let them sit. Wash them away. A splash of this, a blotch of that. No one will notice the algea...it'll just blend in. Candle wax also leaves a remarkable print. LOL 7.

Also you could call someone thats puts in patios and ask them.I wonder if you let it dry out real good if that would help. 7.
