When cleaning concrete, there are essential considerations to keep in mind. Concrete surfaces can often be heavily soiled and require deep restoration, but a light softwash treatment is can be just as effective and as high-pressure washing especially for Driveways that old and may have some degradation in there coatings or finish. It’s important to be cautious as incorrect cleaning methods can lead damage.
To ensure a safe and effective process, we conduct a thorough risk assessment. For flat, uncoated concrete surfaces, a simple light treatment can usually remove mildew or similar issues. However, coated surfaces might need additional preparatory work to avoid hindrance from chemical-resistant coatings during the cleaning process.
We also give special attention to internal and external borders, The specific nature of the concrete surface is also taken into account. Whether untreated, epoxy, cool deck, river rock, etc., each requires a slightly different approach with varying sensitivity to our surfactants and cleansing detergents, and prior rinsing might be necessary.
Not all concrete can be cleaned (well pressure washed)
Not all concrete surfaces can be cleaned. If the surface is less than two weeks old, it is best to wait a few additional weeks in order for it to cure fully so as not to cause any damage. Also if the area has lost its topcoating and has lots of loose elements, then it may not be the best solution to pressure clean the area, and maybe more pragmatic, too soft, wash it which is a chemical process rather than cause the area to degrade anymore..
Our comprehensive treatments include the following, as required:
- Surface cleanse and preparation, often involving a broom or blower.
- Manual brush wash to remove common and easily removable low-density deficiencies, such as occasional oil stains.
- pressure clean and or softwash and bleach
- Softwash solution treatment to eliminate rust marks*.
- rince and repet is required.
You can also choose to Seal and Juvenate concrete, Driveways, and also select a wide range of colours that can be applied to concrete driveways in order to give them a facelift, but we normally recommend just having a pressure clean, and if anything an additional bleaching or soft washing of the area to really brighten up the concrete and get it looking good. But all of these would incur additional costs.
