ClearOut 41 Plus is a cheaper generic 'same
thing' product made of glysophate. Glysophate (active ingrediant in Roundup,
etc.) does a good job of killing most all green
plants. It is one of the safer chemicals, as it
breaks down rapidly on soil contact. You need
to use a bit heavy to control large grasses. It
will _not_ keep any residual action, So, the
next day new weeds will stsrt to sprout & grow. You can get products that stay active in the soil
for a longer time, & control these sprouting
weeds. You will need a combination, as some
chemicals control broadleaves, some control
grasses. However, if your kids & pets play on
the driveway, they will be in some contact with
these longer-lasting chemicals. You can use the driveway more, or
blade/grade it every once in a while. This also
controls the weeds. --->Paul
