How To Pressure Wash A Concrete Driveway

u still HAVE TO go back over your initial pass because it does NOT completely remove all in its path, so you are STILL doing double the work.... so by just using the wand and tip and doing it correctly/slowly the first time it is doing a better job even though it takes a bit more time...... good visual deception video though 🤠

Thought this was Jason Kidd

I disagree. I had the opposite results. It left streaks & I had to go back over it with just the wand. I spent twice as much time as I should have. I'm not using my attachment again.

Top Tip: I have that exact same surface attachment. I go over my surfaces in both directions so there’s no need to touch it up with the wand. I do have a 4000 psi Honda which is a beast of a PW.

How not to clean a concrete driveway. No pre/ post treatment and very visible lines after he’s done, really bad advice

One second use a circle service washer attachment. Wow

imho I am pro and I would use a presoak first. it cuts the time by half and does four times the cleaning.

I can’t believe something as mundane and simple as cleaning your pavement can lead to first a video then a mountain of comments.😂

How much would you have charged for that driveway though, you said 1800 sq ft?

Best way: Kids, go pressure wash the driveway. 😛

Pre soak the driveway before pressure wash! Only common sense to start at the highest point first ,duh??. Can’t believe you made a video on this. People are not stupid ?

Those streaks would drive me crazy.

Should I mix some sort of concrete cleaner product that sprays with water… in other words does the pressure washer have a reservoir to add cleaner? Or do I need to pretreat the surface first if there are stains? Thx.

To clean oil and bad stains on your concrete, pour Coca Cola on to the stain and let sit for five minutes then pressure wash.

The drum is far quicker for large surface areas, but i find it leaves a lot of streaks and lines as the point of cleaning is only on 2 single points

Dude, you may use biodegrable chemical EC920 and will make the surface sparkling clean.
Happy scrubbing!!

Still need to pretreat/post treat. Hire a pro.

Here is a tip. Hire a pro. Done.

i use chlorine via a watering can to bath the cement first. because mould grows from underneath the concrete and manafests itself on the surface which also means because cement is porous ? the chlorine solution leaches into the cement reducing the mould. less pressure is also required and a pressure machine virtually sweeps the concrete clean rather than pressure washes it .. just using a pressure cleaner roughs the cement up causing dirt to get trapped easier and rips the cement holding pebble crete to gether causing pebbles to become loose. there are more enviromently friendly products available than chlorine but its cheap and with all the water involved reduces to a reasonably acceptable saturation. a 50% water chlorine water can style bath every 5 months will keep a driveway clear of mould and save pressure cleaning

Before you blow your money on a surface cleaner, check that you pressure machine can support the surface cleaner. I have a Karcher M 360 pressure cleaners. It does not supply sufficient pressure and water volume. That is what Karcher told me. Be warned!

What about a tiled roof? Too wavy for a surface cleaner…

My drive has a bunch of old car tire shine on it. Any products out there that’ll help my pressure washer do the job?

Thank you👏👏👏😁

My electric washer came with an orbital tip. It still concentrates the stream into a single column, but this column rotates in a circle very quickly. You get a large area coverage and the concentrated blast at the same time.

Oxygenated bleach. Follow directions on jug. Works on both concrete and wood decks, etc. Available at home centers and hardware stores. It’ll save you a ton of work. It’s both inexpensive and safe for plant life. Have used it for years.

My Karcher takes FOREVER!

I try not to judge but if you need to be told to start washing from a higher elevation rather than a lower one so you don't have to wash twice, i will pray for you

Mildew grows on the surface of the concrete. Simply clean with bleach and water solution. Pressure washing is unnecessary and causes excessive wear
and invites more mildew

If you turn off the fuel line and let it run out of gas when you get done with the job, it will start way easier in future. Also less gunk in carbs.

Pressure washers damage concrete

Great guidelines. Does the surface cleaning attachment fit any pressure washer? I have a Ferrex electric pressure washer bought from Aldi (Australia), but the surface cleaning attachment that came with it is horrible. What should I be looking out for?

What chemical do you use for old stains week/month

Where on earth do you get these reviewers.....Has not got a clue.From his clothing to the finished result..Absolutely USELESS.Nobody with any brains could give a positive comment to this botched job!!!

They make a 3000 psi electric one imma pick up cause I need something I can stick in the trunk of a car infill I get a truck or van

Should the Driveway be sealed after pressure washing?

Awesome video. The beatdown of electric pressure washers is sometimes warranted (I've had a few crappy ones in my time) but not in all cases. I have a 3800 PSI electric with a 2.4 GPM which is higher than your gas-powered 3100 PSI-2.3 GPM. I just did my brick driveway and the concrete sidewalk and it did a freakishly outstanding job without any precleaning. There was no lag (ever) in the water flow or pressure. It's all in what you purchase.

do you use the customers water? how do you explain this situation?

And it’s also funny how you have to go back to the wand to do it correctly. And cleaning it with that round thing to begin with makes it harder for you to keep track of where you have been with your wand. So essentially you are doing it with that useless round tool and then going back and doing it with the tool you were telling us not to use. Your only hope is that you get people who don’t know anything about this to believe you.

Your zebra striped finished product looked terrible. I’m a paint contractor and I do this for a living. You’re weak little Pressure Washer does not do the job and you did not do it correctly and you have zebra stripes everywhere. Your pressure washer doesn’t have enough consistent pressure, your tip is wrong, and the best way to do it is to get the proper equipment, the proper tip, and take your time and do it right and overlap and not have stripes. That round unit that you used is useless. Yes it cleans it just a little bit but it looks terrible in the end. I don’t have a video of my product but if I could put it next to yours people would never watch another one of your videos. Quit misleading the people that watch videos. Thank you

What am I missing. I clicked on every thing on your site and never found the link to your Amazon store link.

I did a very small front patio and driveway just the wand and 15degree nozel. Wasn't too bad but I'm a bit sore

what if you have oil or rust on the driveway, will surface cleaner get it off without chemicals?

Post treatment

You know you’re truly an adult when you wacth a vid about pressure washing start to finish 🤣😂

This is the end times Repent for your sins Give your life to God Jesus is coming soon save yourself while you can its not too late

If you go north and south then east and west you won’t have those stripes left

Excellent video, thanks. I didn't know those type of cleaners existed, definitely buying one!

Pro tip, instead of having to squeeze the handle, squeeze it and slip a tennis ball into the handle. If you accidentally drop the wand, the tennis ball pops out easily.
