No matter how careful you are around your concrete, it will get dirty occasionally. The good news is that with multiple surface cleansers, water, and some elbow grease, your concrete can look its best again.
Things you’ll need:
- Water
- Broom
- Brush with stiff bristles or push broom
- Multiple surface cleaner
- Bucket
Now that you know what you need to do the job, here are the steps that you can use to clean your floor or patio.
- Sweep the area, so it’s free of dirt and clutter.
- Fill a bucket with warm water and dilute around ¼ cup of your multiple surface cleanser for every gallon.
- Dip a push broom or stiff brush into the mixture to scrub things thoroughly. If your concrete is light or colored, test out a small area before you proceed.
- Scrub down any particularly tough and persistent areas with some insulated cleanser.
- Hose your clean concrete down using your pressure washer or a bucketful of clean water and allow it to dry.
Keep in mind that the best way to keep your patio, floor, or driveway looking its best is to clean up spills as soon as they happen. Keep it swept, and don’t let dirt linger or seep into the concrete. Otherwise, you may find that you are having more problems and need to have it replaced due to cracks. Taking the steps above will help your concrete keep looking its best throughout the year and help it have a long life.
