Muriatic Acid Runoff Stain

[deezpeez]

Hey guys,
Long time lurker here, but now I really need your help. I just muriatic acid etched my garage floor and made sure that I diluted the runoff and pre-wet the driveway. Unfortunately after it ran past my driveway, it just pooled without me noticing and now there's a bunch of white residue. It's a communal driveway so I need to get this cleaned up ASAP.

Any ideas of what I can use to get this off? I obviously don't want to etch the driveway, but would a really diluted solution of muriatic acid clean it? Or should I try something else? HELP PLEASE!

Thanks in advance!

Try a solution of 1 part vinegar to 3 parts warm water. Pour it on and scrub it with a deck brush. Let it sit for a few minutes without drying out and then rinse it off.

Did you hit it with the hose yet?

Thanks for the tip, Shea. I'll give it a shot and let you know how it goes.

Upon further review, not sure if the runoff was acid or just dried tsp. Either way, seems like the vinegar worked like a charm. Thanks, Shea!
