Snappy's Multi-Step Approach to Concrete Cleaning
Beneath The Surface of Our Flatwork
At Snappy's, we believe a sparkling clean exterior goes beyond just the house itself. That's why we offer professional concrete cleaning services. While the process may seem straightforward, achieving a safe and effective clean is a bit nuanced and requires an eye for detail.
Here's a breakdown of our concrete cleaning method:
Step 1: Clearing the Stage
Just like any good performance, a clean begins with a clear stage. We start by removing any rocks, leaves, or debris that could clog our cleaning equipment or disrupt the water flow during pressure washing. This ensures a uniform and efficient cleaning process.
Step 2: Cooling Down the Canvas
Concrete absorbs heat readily, and blasting it with high-pressure water at high temperatures can etch its surface. To prevent this, we thoroughly wet the concrete before pressure washing. This cools the surface and creates a more even cleaning experience.
Step 3: Power Washing - Choosing the Right Tool for the Job
Now comes the main event: pressure washing! We use professional equipment with various nozzle options to tackle different cleaning needs.
Surface cleaning nozzles: Ideal for broad areas, providing a consistent clean across the entire concrete surface.
Turbo nozzles: Offer a more aggressive cleaning power for tougher dirt and grime build-up.
J-Rod nozzles: Designed for focused cleaning in tight spaces or around delicate landscaping features.
Step 4: Post-Clean Treatment - The Finishing Touch
Even after power washing, some organic matter and deep-seated green stains might remain. To address these, we apply a post-treatment solution specifically tailored to your concrete's needs. This solution, often containing diluted sodium hypochlorite at a safe concentration (between 1% and 3.5%), effectively removes these lingering residues, leaving your concrete looking fresh and renewed. It also acts as a brightening agent and leaves behind a much cleaner looking finish than before.
