Any lawn weedkiller will do the job.

My lawn was covered in clover - a combination of lawn weed\feed and raking has gotten rid of most of it but its left big bare patches (and even there the clover is starting to regrow). Its notoriously difficult to get rid of - lawn weedkiller will get some of it but it grows back quickly.

Make sure you rake it before mowing the lawn - underneath the leaves there is a dense network of thick creeping stems. Raking breaks these up and lifts them so they get chopped by the lawnmower. The more you break it up, the better chance your grass has of growing through it, but you may need to re-seed the area afterwards.
