Driveway & Concrete Cleaning: What a Pressure Wash Really Removes

A clean driveway is one of the fastest ways to lift the look of your whole property. Here is what a proper concrete pressure wash actually removes, and what to expect.

What pressure washing gets off concrete

  • Black mould and mildew
  • Green algae and moss
  • Lichen (those stubborn grey-green spots)
  • Red-dirt and clay staining
  • Oil and tyre marks (with the right pre-treatment)
  • General grime and weathering

Surface cleaning vs a hand wand

For driveways and paths we use a flat surface cleaner rather than just a wand. It cleans evenly in straight passes, avoids the stripy look a wand leaves behind, and gets the job done faster.

Will the stains come back?

Mould and algae will slowly return in our climate, but a proper clean buys you a long time. Sealing concrete afterwards can help it stay cleaner and is worth asking about.
