Cleaning & Routine Maintenance

Simple habits that keep your concrete looking new.

Concrete is durable, but it still collects dirt, stains, and organic buildup. Regular cleaning prevents long-term discoloration and surface wear.

How Often Should You Clean Your Concrete

• Sweep or rinse weekly
• Deep clean every 3–6 months
• Clean stains as soon as possible

Safe Cleaning Methods

• Use a garden hose or low-pressure rinse
• Soft-bristle brushes are ideal
• Mild detergents are safe for most surfaces
• Avoid harsh acids or degreasers unless necessary

Pressure Washing Do’s & Don’ts

Do:

• Use low pressure under 2,500 PSI
• Keep the nozzle moving
• Maintain a safe distance

Don’t:

• Use high pressure on stamped or decorative concrete
• Hold the nozzle too close
• Use rotating turbo tips on finished surfaces

Removing Common Stains

• Oil: use degreaser or dish soap + scrub
• Rust: use a concrete-safe rust remover
• Leaf stains: mild detergent + scrub
• Fertilizer burns: rinse immediately; may require light acid wash

Preventing Surface Wear

• Avoid dragging heavy objects
• Use furniture pads on patios
• Keep gutters and downspouts clear
• Reseal regularly for added protection
