Concrete driveways are like kitchen towels — one of the first things visitors notice about your home. Unlike our kitchen towels, driveways aren’t that easy to clean. And you certainly can’t just buy a new one or toss it in the wash right before company arrives! The good news? It’s not that difficult to clean a concrete driveway if you have the right tools and tricks of the trade. If you partner with professionals with power washing experience, you could get the job done in just a few hours or less!
It’s time to say goodbye to unsightly dirt around your concrete driveway. Let’s take a closer look at how to clean a driveway, including the tools you need, the steps you’ll take and the professionals you can lean on when the time is right.
Keeping your driveway clean and clear is a great way to boost curb appeal. Regular maintenance and a once-yearly clean are all you need to get that new-construction glow.
Here are five easy steps to get you started:
Concrete is a very forgiving material that can adapt to any cleaning product. Depending on your comfort and overall cleaning budget, you can do a lot with just a little.
You can always purchase over-the-counter driveway cleaners like:
Alternatively, you can make your DIY driveway cleaners with materials you have at home:
DIY driveway cleaners may not be as effective as chemical treatments. However, chemical treatments may expose you and your family to harmful toxins.
If you’re uncomfortable using OTC driveway cleaning products but don’t have time to make your own, you may want to consider the restorative effects of driveway-pressuring washing.
Pressure washing is the happy medium between OTC driveway products and DIY solutions. You won’t expose your lawn or garden to harmful materials, but you won’t spend hundreds of dollars on gallons of vinegar and baking soda.
Plus, if you partner with professionals, you can get the job done in a few hours or less.
You can clean your concrete driveway with a pressure washer by:
Pressure washing your driveway won’t be a complex process, but it’s certainly not a fast one. Depending on the size or length of your road, it might take several hours to cover the entire surface area. Tough stains that are deeply ingrained may take even longer. Final estimate? Three to four hours, not including setup or teardown.
Hiring a professional cleaning crew might be a great option if you like the idea of pressure washing but don’t have time to do it yourself. And if you partner with the crew at Jim’s Cleaning, you’re guaranteed a world class outcome!
Pressure washing is by far the easiest way to clean a concrete driveway. Not only is it convenient and chemical-free, but it’s incredibly affordable for the average Australian. And when you choose a professional to get the job done, you won’t have to do a bit of it yourself!
