Concrete can start to look dull and dirty over time, due to the contaminants that can build up on it. To keep it looking its best, it needs to be cleaned periodically and this is where professional concrete cleaning comes in. Read on for more.

Concrete needs to be periodically cleaned for a variety of reasons – ready for resealing, to remove dirt, to remove moss and algae, to remove stains such as grease and oil, and so on. You can clean brand new concrete or you have your existing concrete cleaned. An example of cleaning new concrete would be acid washing it in order to remove excess concrete, such as in the case of exposed aggregate concrete.

There are different methods of cleaning concrete. You can have the concrete scrubbed using the appropriate detergents in order to remove dirt and staining. This is often used in concrete with pressure cleaning, or with steam cleaning. Water washing is another way of cleaning concrete.

No matter what method you choose, you should have a professional cleaning company clean your concrete. These people are able to get out even the most stubborn of stains, and they know the exact way to clean the concrete without damaging the surface. Ensure your cleaner is qualified, experienced and holds any necessary licenses. They should provide their own equipment and have the facilities to recycle water where possible.
