How To Clean An Exposed Aggregate Driveway
Exposed aggregate concrete is a versatile, attractive choice for driveway material. Compared to regular concrete, it requires slightly more maintenance because dirt easily gets into the top layer. Keep reading to find out how to clean an exposed aggregate driveway.
- Sweep the area with a broom. That way, there won't be any loose rocks or dirt to fly around.
- Buy or rent a pressure washer. Choose the white nozzle. This is the 40-degree spray fan nozzle. It produces the lowest stream and is the right choice for exposed aggregate because there's less risk of chipping.
- Now it's time to set the pressure. Read the concrete manufacturer's instructions to make sure, but typically you'll use between 2,100 to 3,800 pounds per square inch (PSI).
- Put the cleaner on the surface. Follow the instructions and don't use more cleaner on stains, even though you may want to. One layer of cleaner should be enough for the whole driveway. Then let things sit for the required amount of time.
- Start pressure washing. Point the spray nozzle away from any edges. That way you'll lessen the chance of damaging the surface. Hold the nozzle about a foot away from the surface and make sweeping motions left to right. Then go up and down over the same area. This helps reduce the chance for streaks.
- When it's done, you'll have a gleaming driveway. If cleaning your exposed aggregate driveway sounds like a job you'd rather leave to the pros, call Dillenger Pressure Washing.
