When Should I Wash My Concrete?
Concrete should be cleaned on a regular basis as part of your normal maintenance, yearly is recommended. This ensures your concrete remains free of any dirt build up and the removal of contaminants that can lead to deterioration of the surface. It is important to consider properly cleaning your concrete before applying sealers, paints, epoxy, and other resurfacing agents to ensure maximum adhesion. Washing should be done during above freezing temperatures to prevent damage and cracking from water freeze.
Why Should I Wash My Concrete?
Exposure to the elements will wear down a concrete surface over time. Dirt and other
debris will open the door to plant life. Once plant life takes hold, the roots will begin to work their way through the concrete leading to cracking and further deterioration of the slab. Salt and other contaminants, when left unwashed, will lead to flaking and pitting as your concrete ages, resulting in a crumbling mess over time. Cleaning your concrete regularly will help to extend the life.
