in concrete dust ,i`ve bought some brick cleaner from b&q but this does not 
seemed to have cleaned them, any idea`s? apart from not getting them covered 
in dust in the first place

Re: cleaning patio slabs   
Pressure washer.

I also found that whilst filling the gaps between the slabs with builders' 
sand, brushing the dry sand over the slabs repeatedly seemed to scour them 
clean (or cleaner at least)

Good luck.
