If you power wash concrete then the chances are you'll make it more porous and end up having to do it more and more.sorry I haven't got a solution but in the uk you could buy path cleaner that wouldn't eat the concrete or slabs,here it's a different story,maybe some watered down bleach,scrubbing broom and some elbow grease and remember to rinse thoroughly.

You can buy a small pressure cleaner at many of the larger House hardware from about 2500 B, Homepro, Global, Tool Pro etc

Never seen any DIY rental shops here to be honest

I managed to find a powerful Black & Decker power washer at Global House, made a fantastic job of removing black mold from walls. As others have said, it can make some concrete more porous, however, I can live with that. Vinegar in the mix does assist. My car has never looked so clean, an added bonus.

Another bonus is you can eat your fish and chips off it. Just add salt!
