In this video we’ll cover the four primary types of cleaners on the market:
1. pH neutral
2. Acidic
3. Alkaline
4. Enzymatic or bacterial

And we’ll give some unorthodox advice…don’t pressure wash!...unless you have no other choice. Watch to learn why! If you must pressure wash, keep the pressure as low as possible.

If you have any tough stains like latex paint or wood stain, try a paint stripper, gel preferred, on the paint. For oil based wood stains or paints, first rinse with water to saturate the concrete. After it’s mostly soaked it, pour some mineral spirits on the stain and scrub away. Rinse liberally to wash away the mineral spirits.
