Concrete and Patio Cleaning: Restore Your Outdoor Spaces

Your driveway, walkways, and patio are some of the most used areas around your home—and also the most exposed to dirt, oil stains, algae, and weather damage. Over time, concrete surfaces lose their clean appearance and can even become slippery hazards.

Professional concrete and patio cleaning not only restores the look of your outdoor spaces but also extends their lifespan and keeps your property safe.

The Benefits of Concrete and Patio Cleaning

1. Restores Curb Appeal

Oil stains, tire marks, algae, and dirt buildup can make your home’s exterior look neglected. A professional cleaning instantly brightens and refreshes your outdoor areas, giving your home a well-maintained appearance.

2. Prevents Slips and Falls

Moss, mildew, and algae can create dangerously slick surfaces. Concrete cleaning eliminates this buildup, keeping walkways and patios safe for your family and guests.

3. Extends the Life of Your Concrete

Dirt and grime don’t just look bad—they can break down concrete over time. Regular cleaning protects against erosion, cracks, and costly repairs.

4. Prepares Surfaces for Sealing or Staining

Planning to seal or stain your patio or driveway? A thorough cleaning ensures the surface is free of debris and ready to absorb the finish properly.

5. Increases Home Value

A clean, well-kept driveway and patio add to your home’s overall value. If you’re selling your home, clean outdoor spaces make a big difference in buyer impressions.

How Often Should You Clean Concrete and Patios?

Most homeowners benefit from annual cleaning for driveways, sidewalks, and patios.

However, you may need more frequent service if:

• You have lots of trees nearby (leaves, sap, pollen buildup).
• Your driveway sees heavy vehicle use.
• Your patio is a central space for entertaining.
• You notice mold, algae, or stubborn stains forming.

DIY vs. Professional Concrete Cleaning

While power washers are available for homeowners, DIY concrete cleaning often doesn’t deliver the same results—and can even cause damage if used incorrectly.

• DIY Cleaning: May remove surface dirt but struggles with deep stains or algae. Risk of damaging surfaces with too much pressure.
• Professional Cleaning: Uses commercial-grade equipment and safe techniques to remove stains, restore color, and protect surfaces.

With Total Wash and Stripe, your concrete and patio areas get the professional attention they need for long-lasting results.
