How To Upkeep Your Driveway In Between Pressure Washes
3rd July 2019
Sweep and general tidy
Our Driveway Cleaning Warrington team advise all of our customers to invest time in sweeping and keeping their driveway clear of debris and dirt, like leaves and moss. If left unchecked, leaves and natural debris can decompose and allow moss and weeds to thrive. This moist environment from the decomposing leaves can encourage contagens to thrive in the cracks in your pavement and eventually cause damage to your investment.
When regularly sweeping your driveway, you can use this time to inspect the condition of the surface. This will give you the opportunity to spot any chipping, cracking or sinking in the driveway, allowing you to take action before the problem escalates.
Tackle spills before they become deep-set stains
Spills are a normal part of daily life and your driveway can see a multitude of them in its lifetime. Unfortunately, the types of spills that your driveway encounters tend to be oil based. Motor oil or paints can cause deep set staining that can be difficult to remove. If you have invested in a regular pressure washing service and spill something on your driveway in the meantime, there are ways to combat the spill quickly and effectively.
Firstly, ensure that you have an absorbent substance on hand at all times. Sawdust or cat litter work well as they are readily available and highly absorbent As soon as you notice the spill, cover it in the absorbent material and leave to sit for between 12-24 hours. Our Driveway Cleaning Warrington team advise that you do this for all oil stains and it can help to prevent deep set staining that may ruin your driveway.
