I have well water and the iron stains the sidewalks pretty bad. I was able to clean up a small slab with my pressure washer alone, but it took awhile. The whole sidewalk is several hundred feet and want to know what kind of cleaning agent I should use to make the cleaning go quicker and more effective, such as a general purpose cleaner formulated specifically for pressure washers.

Thanks.

I'd use somthine like CLR, but I'd probably apply without the pressure washer, scrub with a brush and then use the washer to clear it off when done.
