Crepe Myrtle Tannin

[Scott]

Hello Everybody,

What will remove the tannin left on concrete from the berries of Crepe Myrtles? I have tries degreasers and brighteners.

Thanks,
Scott

Bleach will take it right out. I carry a 1 gal sprayer with a 50/50 mix of bleach and water. I used it today, as a matter of fact, for some crepe myrtle stains.

Thanks John,

I will try that.

I have had the same problem...Haven't tried bleach, but also haven't found anything else that will touch those stains...hot water does nothing. I'll try bleach the next time I run into them...Lots of crepe myrtles around here.

Thanks, John!
