Ortho Weed B Gon and others work. If you buy the concentrate, add some
liquid dish detergent to the mixture. Clover, and other waxy weeds, will
bead up and shed the liquid immediately, unless you add a surfactant
(one of which is detergent), which will allow the liquid to stick to the
leaves.
It is also beneficial to mow the lawn beforehand so that the weed killer
can get into the plant faster through the cut weed veins and stems.
