Clover has lots of little hairs and a waxy coating. Best results require a
surfactant to help the heribcide to break through the clover's defences.

I use a small amount of dishwashing (not dishwasher) detergent in my
spray to help stick to clover,

Do you find adding dishwashing helps for other weeds also ?

Good day,
You will want to use a product such as Weed-B-Gon to remove clover. This
will kill off the clover, but you should use a surfactant
(sticker-spreader) for best results.

Clover is a symptom of a bigger problem. Clover does very well in poor,
hard soil. Clover obtains it's nitrogen from the air... not the soil. It's
telling you that your soil lacks nitrogen.

A plan of attack should include correcting the soil issues or the clover
will be back. Fertilizing 2 or 3 times a season combined with a higher
mowing hight(2.5-3 inches) will do wonders for your lawn.

Good luck,
Timothy
