Power-washing Concrete - A common mindset we come across with property owners is "I'll just power-wash the concrete every few month or once a year to keep it looking clean or mold free and clean".
What most people do not realize is that power-washing is super aggressive. It removes a fine layer of sediment with each blast and after 4-6 years, new concrete driveways and surfaces can become heavily worn and aged. Once the concrete is worn and damaged from power-washing it will either need an expensive restoration to repair or worse not be fixable at all.
The way the concrete is damaged is that after sediment is blasted off enough, the aggregate or stone will be unevenly exposed creating an unsightly appearance.
Stellar Surfaces advises property owners to clean their outdoor concrete surfaces with products like PROKLENR 'Concrete & Masonry Cleaner' - make up a bucket of the product using the concentrate, scrub the surface with a stiff broom and rinse of afterwards with a hose.
