How to clean a concrete driveway. Love, Dad

[Ahch.]

You're working unnecessarily twice as hard. Use pool grade bleach, water, laundry detergent, a pump up sprayer and let it dwell for 10-15 minutes. Then use the pressure washer and surface cleaner.

Scotty Killmer’s brother sure has useful home improvement tips

Pool shock works better. The chemical in it (sodium hypochlorite) eats all organic material away and it’s what professional pressure washing business use. Mix it to a 3-4 percent sodium hypochlorite ratio and spray it into the concrete. It will eat all of the organics up and then you can surface clean it. No scrubbing required!! Clean in straight lines across the driveway or concrete area. If you see lines left over treat with the pool shock again and boom a clean driveway the way the pros do it 👍👍

Use muratic acid slightly diluted, etches concrete. Literally makes it white with no pressure washing or scrubbing . Just spray and rinse

As an industrial power washer I prefer the yellow tip over a wider spray, more pressure per square inch

Pressure washing concrete unless you have really bad stains you don’t need soap!!

Wonderful job. Thanks for your heard work.

This does work. Super clean. I'm busting lines off my driveway right now y'all!!

It is that easy, although it does the job it doesn’t completely keep it clean the brush helps but it’s just extra work, it shouldn’t need any extra work and you should be moving the surface cleaner slower so it gets all the stains out of it

Is he the Scotty Kilmer of concrete cleaning? He sounds just like him.

[Stale_Kracker]

Holy shit as someone that does this for a living this was painful to watch😂. Thats called a surface cleaner and brushing that did nothing it works itself in

Wait until he discovers what SH is

Interesting method for sure! Much respect!

[matthewpritchard]

You use a surface cleaner in slightly overlapping straight passes, not a circular motion. Also, post treat with 4% SH through a pump sprayer. There is no need to use an industrial grade degreaser unless you are spot treating oil stains. You made this process more complicated than necessary.

What would these products do to the concrete sealants applied to prevent spalling in cold climates?

I like to clean underneath my grill the cement is really greasy, good job, it turn out beautifully, 😊

[SoTaSpEaK]

That’s really cool. I know to have that done, most companies charge a considerable amount.

I’m off to buy one of this whirly-jig-jobbies tomorrow!

Pro tip: thoroughly rinse the adjoining grass butting up to the concrete pads. If you don’t that filthy black water will KILL that bordering grass.

Mom advice...don't eat off it!🤣🤣🤣
