Question

Ummm .  so my kids used liquid “chalk pens” on the sidewalk and I don’t know why I didn’t think about it before that it wouldn’t be a good idea but it seems as though the pens they used are not coming off the driveway (whereas the regular chalk did come off with the rain last night).Ummm . so my kids used liquid “chalk pens” on the sidewalk and I don’t know why I didn’t think about it before that it wouldn’t be a good idea but it seems as though the pens they used are not coming off the driveway (whereas the regular chalk did come off with the rain last night). I googled it and can’t seem to find anything specific around removing it off a driveway.  Any ideas ?  

Answer 1

Time, in time it will wear off.  

Answer 2

Gosh, maybe pressure washer and concrete cleaner? My sister in law’s driveway was stained for 3 months before it finally started to come off. Some areas still have it a year later.  

Answer 3

Time likely but wondering if soap would help - if only it were nice out, could wash the car and let the soap run down the driveway.  

Answer 4

In time it will come off, it took a couple of good rains for mine to clear up

Answer 5

Spray it with the hose on the jet setting, worked for my fam  

Answer 6

My daughter used “chalk paint” and it took a few days of rain for it to come off completely, so maybe give it a few more rainy days. Hope it comes off!  

Answer 7

Power wash it

Answer 8

Thanks! My husband took a wet mop with some vinegar and water to try on a few sections and it seems like it may work but he needs like a bristle brush to get in the grooves of the driveway. Oy vey. thanks for all the advice above

Answer 9

Is this what you have? I have not try on cements but work well on windows as we did.  

Answer 10

I would try a dab of Dawn dish soap mixed with water. Take a broom to the area and rinse. (A little soap goes a LONG way! You don’t want suds for days. )
