My mum got some stuff from betterware that was really good! Not sure if everybody has betterware but it is like the avon for cleaning stuff!

Just dilute it and pour on drive and sweep and hose it off and it was clean

concrete cleaner - pour it on leave for 2 mins and rinse off,

just make sure you don't rinse it off into the flower bed or they will all die

Remember i got the drive covered in oil once, we used a brush, and a pressure washer, good scrub and it cleans up nice.
