Why You Need To Clean All Concrete Areas

Concrete may seem like a durable, nearly indestructible material, but leaving it dirty and not completing regular concrete cleaning will only cause it to deteriorate quickly. You will need to clean some areas regularly to prevent the concrete from deteriorating before its time.

Concrete For Foot Traffic

One area where concrete is most vulnerable is when it's used for foot traffic. This can be seen in areas such as sidewalks and patios. These areas end up collecting a lot of contaminants due to the foot traffic they are designed to handle.

People and animals will track a lot of dirt and debris onto the surface of the concrete, which in turn traps water. There are also a variety of other contaminants in the air that will settle on the concrete surface, such as dirt that washes away with the rain from buildings and man-made contaminants.

Concrete For Vehicles

When the concrete is used for the use or parking of vehicles, there's an even bigger reason to keep them clean as the contaminants from vehicles can wear down even faster on the concrete. Additionally, the oils and grease that come from different cars can collect on the surface leading to the unsightly appearance of stains in the concrete, which is hard to remove.

With a hot pressure washing machine, we can get up even the toughest of these oils and stains, but it's best to get them removed as soon as they appear, especially if it's in a residential area like a driveway. You should always consider getting driveway washings regularly to remove these contaminants.

Deterioration of Concrete

When any number of contaminants settle into the surface of the concrete, it will, in turn, trap water. Water is the most destructive force and will gradually wear down the surface of the concrete and sap away different minerals from its composition. When this happens, it weakens the concrete, which, while not immediate, can happen right under your nose if you aren't paying attention. Once the concrete has been weakened to a certain extent, it makes it more likely that the concrete will chip, break, or crack, which only allows more water to collect and cause further deterioration.
