Most of us will do regular maintenance on our driveways, often with a hosepipe. But sometimes some stains won’t shift as they are tougher than
home
equipment can handle. Some of the worst come from cars – oil is a prime example.
A professional cleaner will have specialised solutions for these problems that remove the stains but doesn’t harm the surface beneath.
pressure washing a concrete driveway runs from $130 to $190. Porous materials like concrete need a tremendous amount of pressure to remove any debris and dirt from the surface. The area is left to soak, and a cleaning agent is used to help remove dirt and grime. After pressure washing, a sealant is usually applied to lengthen the life of the driveway and keep it looking cleaner for longer.
If you're going to power wash your concrete yourself, make sure you know what you're getting into before you begin. Here are some important tips: plan for at least 2-4 hours for this project dress in long pants and sturdy shoes some people also wear gloves and safety glasses apply a degreaser or concrete cleaner before power washing start at the highest point and work your way down keep the nozzle about 12" from the surface, getting too close could cause damage use a steady, sweeping motion as you move back and forth across the concrete consider sealing the concrete after it has completely dried keep in mind that every concrete surface is different.
We use our commercial standard petrol jet wash to execute the clean, this will quite literally wipe the floor with any domestic pressure washer. Another feature our pressure washer has is its ‘flat surface cleaning attachment’ which is a disc that glides across the floor and has 2 jets underneath which spin and clean the surface a couple of inches above the ground, so our clean is also perfectly distributed. Another benefit of the flat surface cleaner is that it contains any splashback within the disk, so we can keep your walls and glass clean while we pressure wash your driveway.
