Concrete Cleaning Process
That’s when our signature whisper wash, 3-step process saves the day:
- First, we apply a detergent blend that kills mildew, lichen, and other microorganisms clinging to your concrete and breaks the bond of the dirt.
- Next, we use a 600 – 1000 psi (several times less pressure than traditional pressure washing) spinning surface cleaner to gently lift the dirt from the pores in the concrete.
- Finally, we rinse the surface, inspect the slab to ensure a complete cleaning, and topically treat any small areas that are especially tough.

Concrete Cleaning FAQs
How often should I have my concrete cleaned?
Over time, concrete surfaces accumulate dirt, oil stains, algae, mold, and mildew, making them look unsightly and potentially causing damage. Professional cleaning helps maintain the structural integrity of the concrete while enhancing curb appeal. Additionally, it prevents slipping hazards by removing moss and algae, which can make surfaces dangerously slippery.
Can concrete cleaning remove oil stains?
Yes, professional concrete cleaning can remove most oil stains. We use specialized cleaning solutions that break down oil and grease, along with pressure washing to lift the stains from the surface. However, older or deeply embedded stains may require multiple treatments for complete removal.
Is pressure washing safe for my concrete?
Yes, pressure washing is safe for concrete when done correctly by trained professionals. However, using too much pressure or incorrect techniques can cause surface damage, such as etching or cracking.

Yes, sealing your concrete after cleaning provides an extra layer of protection against stains, moisture, and dirt buildup. A quality sealant helps repel water, oil, and other contaminants, making future cleanings easier and extending the life of your concrete surface.
What is the best method for cleaning concrete?
The best method depends on the type of dirt and stains on the concrete. Soft washing is effective for mold and algae, while pressure washing is ideal for heavy grime and oil stains. We use eco-friendly cleaning solutions combined with the appropriate pressure to restore your concrete surfaces.
