Another material that is well known in and around the house or office is concrete. Concrete is durable but permeable, meaning it absorbs all the outdoor dirt and grease. Visually after some time concrete driveways, patios, and garages start looking dull. During the rainy seasons in Vallejo CA, it could become slick and dangerous. Periodic power washing of concrete surfaces is important to maintain a clean and safe looking area.
Our team at Vallejo Power Washing recommends using equipment with a water heating element which is better suited for oily concrete surfaces. There are significant advantages with using hot water. First, surfaces that are cleaned with hot water dry faster due and can therefore be used quickly after cleaning. Hot water helps break down even solidified oil, which makes it much easier to wash away with no chemicals in most cases. In certain cases where the area is really soiled, for example a large oil leak from a car in the driveway, concrete detergent might be necessary. However, as I briefly mentioned there are regulations imposed by the EPA, Solano County, and Vallejo CA for disposing of waste water. Please make sure to read up on these laws before attempting to clean your driveway or sidewalk yourself, especially with any chemicals. We would be happy to provide some advice as well.
Concrete pressure washing is easier compared to most other surfaces since it is so durable, but it does take some research to do a proper job. Contact Vallejo Power Washing to see how we can help!
