Cleaning a concrete driveway or walkway can be rewarding if done right. The before and after pictures gallery below shows exactly what I am talking about. In Florida, we recommend our professional concrete cleaning service at least once per year for all your exterior hardscapes. Our climate has the perfect conditions for mold, mildew, algae, and lichens to flourish. Cold water high-pressure cleaning of your concrete will only remove surface stains and will result in a temporary fix. Without the use of chemicals wand marks and surface cleaner swirls will reappear in just a few months.
I highlighted the following before and after pictures concrete cleaning images below as they are a couple of my favorites. This was from a rental property that had substantial tree cover directly over the sidewalk leading to the front door. When I first arrived I thought it was bare earth, but quickly realized I was walking on concrete. Based on my experience the concrete had to be going on 5 years (probably 10 years) without a cleaning to get to this level of dirty.
No amount of high-pressure water alone was going to bring this sidewalk back to life. We had to pre-treat and post-treat this after running our machines over the sidewalk. The mold growth quickly led to algae and then the decaying leaves provided the perfect nutrient base for lichens to flourish. It was unsafe to walk on as the damp areas felt like slimy river rocks. We had to clean this sidewalk before starting the house wash for safety reasons. We did not complain because these types of jobs are our favorite. The dirtier the better in my book. I did not have a chance to talk to the actual homeowner once we were done cleaning, but I could only imagine the look on their faces after seeing these before and after pictures.
