Rejuvenate Your Property with Steamatic Pavement Cleaning Tips
If you feel your concrete and pavement is not quite dirty enough to justify a professional pavement cleaning, or you are simply looking for some insights to affirm Steamatic’s authority before making your choice, then read on to learn some simple pavement cleaning tips you can use to rejuvenate your property!
Remove any moss or weeds.
If you are treating backyard or patio paving, the first step in your home clean should be to remove any moss or weeds. This can be done with a hand trowel or even screwdriver, though you should exercise caution to not scrape up your tiles or bricks.
Brush away any debris with a stiff brush.
Once you are done your weeding work, brush away the evidence with a good stiff-bristled broom. This will not produce the same results as Steamatic’s mechanical scrubbers, brooms, and dry ice blasting, but will do plenty of good for your property for very little effort.
Scrub in a patio cleaner to lift away dirt.
Opt for an environmentally-friendly commercial patio cleaner, and scrub it into your patio tiles to wash away any ingrained dirt on the slabs. Brush vigorously with a stiff-bristled brush, and leave it sitting for as long as the manufacturer’s instructions dictate.
Rinse away the cleaning solution.
Rinse away with a hose or pressure washer, being sure to mind all local chemical disposal guidelines so as not to douse your lawn, garden, or street with harmful chemicals.
Seal your pavement.
After this thorough clean has been completed, seal your patio with a commercial sealer to keep dirt and grime from accumulating in the future. These products will form a clear membrane capable of repelling all kinds of dirt, oil, weathering, and spills, and will drastically increase the lifespan of your paved surfaces while also discouraging moss and lichen from growing.
These simple DIY steps will leave you with a rejuvenating pavement patio or concrete surface. Making the effort, or the investment in a professional clean, can add serious appeal to your home.
