Concrete Cleaning Tips For Your Home

Cleaning Concrete Stains

Mold and mildew can turn your beautiful concrete driveways and sidewalks black and unsightly. These unwelcome substances can also make your concrete surfaces slippery, creating an unstable and unsafe environment around your home. Mold and mildew growth happens most often in shaded areas of your property, where moisture takes longer to dry up. Unfortunately, these toxic growths will keep coming back even after you clean the concrete if you use the wrong cleaning methods and fail to take preventative measures like concrete sealing.

Take our professional advice, and don't use chemicals or bleach as your concrete cleaning method. Chemicals not only eat away at the limestone in the concrete, but they are also only a temporary fix. Instead, hire a professional concrete cleaning service that uses:

• Non-caustic, non-toxic, and non-acidic cleaning detergents
• Algaecide & fungicide application to kill & prevent mold, moss, and mildew
• Commercial-grade concrete cleaning and sealing products

Cleaning Moss Off Concrete

Getting moss off concrete is a little like trying to pull weeds directly out of stone. Sometimes we have to get down and dirty with a stiff brush to remove moss during a concrete cleaning service. The weeds growing in the sand between concrete slabs or paver joints will also need removing, or else they can cause shifting, creating more issues. After getting rid of the weeds, you can stop any regrowth if you seal your concrete regularly.

Sealing Concrete To Keep It Protected

You might not be aware that concrete sealing is an essential step in maintenance for your driveway and other concrete surfaces like sidewalks, and it will likely need it every few years. Leaving concrete unsealed and unprotected is the most common reason why it gets so dirty even after performing a thorough cleaning.

Professional pressure washing contractors like us most often use a commercial-quality concrete sealing product for the longest-lasting results, which is why it is crucial to rely on experts for this service. Cleaning your own concrete can be difficult and frustrating if you don't have the right tools, skills, or experience.
