In this video I go over how to Pressure Wash a Driveway using Chemicals and a Surface Cleaner to Clean Concrete Driveways. A couple of things I forgot to mention were to try and use the least amount of high pressure hose possible so you don't reduce your flow from your power washer and that going side to side rather than up and down with the surface cleaner will reduce the visibility of any line overlaps that are left visible in the driveway.

Ray, the part about 4" per 1 gallon per minute for your machine is a myth, I run two 28" Big Guys on a 8 gpm machine all the time with no issue at all, yes we go just a little bit slower but in my opinion it cleans better. But I do run 100ft of 1/2" line per hose reel with 200ft of 3/8" hose after the 1/2". That way we can reach out 300ft per side of the trailer and get it done! Great information you are putting out, keep it up!

@RaymondNotario 3 жыл бұрын

The builder got oil on the driveway while working on the property, I told her I would do the walk way free of charge and she asked me specifically not to do any thing other than the driveway. She was upset that they had to come out of pocket over a small oil stain. It's hard for me to morally not do what the person paying me for the job asks. It did get my ocd going to leave it though LOL

Hey Ray, I've got a 40yr old concrete slab driveway, 2000 sq ft in Massachusetts, dirty but no oil stains. Some local pressure washing companies say they only use water when pressure washing concrete driveways (or heated water), others use chemicals, such as F9 Groundskeeper. Should I steer clear of the ones only planning on using water? Thanks!

With the chipping parts of the concrete did you still pretreat those areas, and/or does it cause more chipping when adding those pretreaters? Also does using the surface cleaner over the chipping areas chip the concrete more ?

@Chris72401 2 жыл бұрын

Sodium hypochlorite does not affect concrete as it is not an acid. It is alkaline and will not etch. You always have a risk of damage, but setting the pressure at an acceptable setting for the type of concrete is key. Pressure sprays, but volume cleans. If that makes any sense.

Great video content Ray. Just staring out. I noticed you went side to side from the bottomnup that driveway with the surface cleaner. Any reason not to do long passes? Thank you

@RaymondNotario 3 жыл бұрын

So when you make passes with the surface cleaner it is very hard not to go overlap a couple inches over a spot that has already been cleaned. This causes "lines" sometimes. The side to side method makes this much less noticeable
