When it comes to driveway cleaning, seasoned professionals will follow certain steps that will help them remove even age old stains, oil, grime and grease, mould, and moss from the driveway and make it as clean and appealing as a newly laid driveway.
On this page, let us discuss the steps that the experts would take to clean the driveway.
Removing the grease spots
The process that the professionals follow to clean the driveway will depend on the material that the driveway is made of. Driveways can be made up of a wide range of materials, and that’s why there is no one-method-fits-all dictum when it comes to cleaning driveways.
For concrete driveways, dishwashing liquid is the most effective cleaning solution. The experts who are into driveway cleaning in Bristol will first pour the solution on the stain and leave it for a few hours. Scrubbing the stains will then, surprisingly, remove them. There is a word of warning, though. They would never use pressure washing when removing grease stains. That’s because the intense pressure that the hose creates will force the grease stain to go even deeper into the driveway surface.
The most common cleaning solutions that are used by professionals include baking soda, bleach, or trisodium phosphate for driveways made up of asphalt. The professionals will apply the cleaning compound to the stain and scrub it thoroughly, which will remove the stain from the surface.
Removing the debris and dirts
When things come down to removing the dirt and debris, pressure washing is the most effective means, and seasoned professionals who are into driveway cleaning in Bath will do exactly that to get rid of them. The materials that the experts would need to remove dirt and debris include:
- Pressure washer
- Broom
- A brush with wire broom
- Detergent meant for pressure washers
- Degreaser and a garden hose
They will clean all the debris, loose dirt by using a broom from the driveway first.
Then they will degrease the surface by using the appropriate degreaser depending on the material the driveway is made of.
Finally, they will prepare the pressure washer by attaching the adequate nozzle, connecting the garden hose to the pressure washer, and turning the water on.
Then the professionals will hold the detergent tube in the tank. After the pressure washing device is powered on, the detergent will mix with the water.
They will then apply the detergent to the driveway and pressure wash it. Once the washing is done, they will use a waterproof sealer to seal the driveway. Driveway sealing will save the driveway’s surface from any potential damage in the future.
So you see, there are specific ways of pressure cleaning the driveway. Pressure washing can turn out to be dangerous, if it is conducted by an untrained professional. That is why it is imperative that you put your trust in a qualified pressure washer who is seasoned and properly trained.
