Outside of Purple Power, Simple Green, Whatever Orange (and I'll throw Shout laundry spot remover,
Grease Relief, or any good dish soap into the mix), do up a strong mixture in a bucket with hot
watetr and get your shop vac ready.  Liberally apply with a long bristled brush, work into a foam,
and suck dry with the shop vac.  Repeat about 10 times or until the foam stays white.  Then hose
the hell out of it and suck it dry with the shop vac again, and let the Sun take care of the final
drying.  BTDT, and it works.
