With the amount of traffic the driveway sees, it's easy for their appearance to look less than gleaming. Motor oil, antifreeze/coolant, and dirt from foot traffic all contribute to a dirty driveway, bringing down the curb appeal of a home and, in some cases, can even be an eye sore to neighbors or potential buyers.

3 Simple Tips For a Clean Driveway

Let's go over some ways for driveway cleaning you can follow all year to maximize your curb appeal, especially if you're living in Canada!

Don't Ignore stains - Sometimes we don't pay much attention to small stains on our driveway, but they can be an enormous hassle if you don't take care of them early. Clean up spills immediately, and make sure you tackle them before they can set in.

Remove Salt In Winter - In countries like Canada, salt is often used to melt ice on driveways. Over time, this can lead to a build-up of salt, which can be challenging to remove. Mix one part vinegar and four parts water to get rid of salt. Spray the solution on your driveway and let it sit for 15 minutes before scrubbing with a brush. Rinse with clean water and let the surface dry completely.

Pressure Wash Every 3-4 years - Pressure washing is one of the most effective ways to clean a driveway. Using high-powered water can remove built-up dirt, grime, and stains that regular cleaning can't remove. You can pressure wash once every 3–4 years to keep your driveway looking its best.

But should you pressure wash your driveway yourself? It's not recommended. No matter how solid the surface appears, concrete can be permamently scored and disfigured from homeowners using too much pressure when trying to clean their driveway. The flip side of that occurs when homeowners use too little pressure to remove the algae and grime build, this leads to a temporary clean appearance that simply doesn't last.
