Stained concrete? Anything I can do?

[Andyc83]

So, a few weeks ago I posted about some small red circles at the bottom of my pool. I used some Lo N Slo in a sock and it cleaned them right up. Sometime in the last few weeks these spots (shown in picture below) are on my concrete. I'm assuming this came from when I was walking away with the sock some of the chemicals got on the concrete. I could be completely wrong but it seems like it was about that time that we noticed these. I've tried to wash it with a hose and it doesn't come off. I didn't know if there is anything I can do. This concrete is only 2 months old. I've attached some pictures.

Lo N Slo is acid so if it dripped on the deck it has permanently etched it. About the only thing you can do is acid wash the whole deck, and then it's probably not going to be perfect. You could try power washing it first to see if that helps it.

Darn! I was afraid of that. I guess, learn from your mistakes but this was a big one .

Looks likes it is time to stain the deck!

Sorry to see the spots on your deck. Good luck.

Do you have any interest in acrylic coating or stained concrete?

In a couple years it will be aged enough to disappear.

Can you feel a difference, or is it just the color?

You could try powerwashing the whole area. It won't fix the etching, but it might even out the color.

That deck is pretty dark looking; I bet those spots will darken up to match pretty quickly.
