Anyone any ideas how to get rid of concrete release agent (powder) out of lawn?
The bloody stuff has got everywhere and it's driving me mad

What is concrete release agent? Do you mean cement? (OPC)

“A release agent is a liquid or powder used to prevent the adhesion of concrete to its formwork”

As @TwoLeftSocksWithHoles said.
It's hydrophobic so hose/jetwash just moves it around 😖

Would a lawnmower pick it up?
(Not a hover mower, that would just spread it further.)

@TwoLeftSocksWithHoles no we've tried. And we've tried a lawn hoover but the dust just went straight through the bag and blown everywhere again

Rather than trying to 'hoover it up' could you use a leaf blower or jet wash to 'blast' to another, less important area?

Although that might just make matters worse.

Or a vacuum that uses a 'paper bag' like a 'Henry'
