Even though you tend to your garden by keeping the borders looking lovely and leaves off your grass there's always a place outside which you can never control.
It doesn't seem to make much difference whether you wash, hose or sweep every week there are some exterior places around your home that you find very difficult to deal with.
They are of course the areas of covered with concrete.
How are you going to keep these paved spots like your driveway and patio clean then? Frequent hosing is more likely to cause mold, moss and mildew to grow than to make those surfaces look really great.
For a more thorough clean you could get down on your hands and knees and wash the whole area but that would involve a large amount of time and physical effort.
Fortunately for all of us there is a much simpler and a more effective means of getting these surfaces really clean.
You can pressure wash your driveway and other paved areas, leaving them as clean as can be.
The procedure is easy and gives great results.
In order to pressure wash your concrete surfaces you first need to get your hands on a pressure washer.
You want to get one that's as powerful as possible and unfortunately a lot of the home versions are just not powerful enough.
Find one that forces the water out at a speed of 2500 psi at least.
This will lift all the grime and muck at this kind of pressure.
If you car drips oil the only way to get it off your driveway is to use a hot water washer with a high psi rating.
Some of your unsightly stains might be so awful that you will need to use a cleaner to pre-treat them.
You can also use a cleaning solution for the whole surface if it is very dirty or you want to get it spotless.
Be sure that you cover the entire surface as you pressure wash your driveway.
Any little spot that you miss may not be noticeable while you are working but can be very evident once the area has dried out.
For a very dirty surface you may want to go over it more than once.
The first wash will lift up most of the dirt and the second wash will remove it completely.
Once you have finished pressure washing you should be very happy with the outcome.
However, remember that from the moment you finish getting it clean it will start collecting dirt and grime again.
To make washes easier in the future.
