Crabapple Stains on New Concrete.

[Skiuseme]

The crabapple tree that WAS in my front lawn left one hell of a mess. Now I have stains all over my new concrete. Any ideas on how it get them up. I have tried my pressure washer and Muratic Acid. Those have help a little but, I want it gone. Any advise would be great.

Thanks,
Adam

Couldn't find anything specific, but did find this. If it works for blood, I wouild think crabapple would be similar.

To remove blood stains, for example, wet the stains with water and cover them with a layer of sodium peroxide powder; let stand for a few minutes, rinse with water and scrub vigorously. Follow with the application of a 5 percent solution of vinegar to neutralize any remaining sodium peroxide.
