Patio Cleaning

Hi, I am not sure if this is the correct forum for this question (so apologies if its not) but I have recently had a patio put in my back garden (concrete slabs). It is quite a messy job as in there are still a lot of stains from concrete and footprints. We have had a fair bit of rain and they are still there 3 weeks later. It would be very grateful if anybody could advise me the best way to clean them. would a pressure washer do the job (or potentially ruin it, especially the pointing/rendering?) I have been told about an acid solution but again would this ruin it? Thank you all in advance

    If the builder left so much mess, worried about the pointing .
