How do you clean a cement patio ?

Question

Grime,dog tracks,and soil.

Answer 1

Rent a portable power washer from your local tool rental center or home improvement center. These come in either electric- or gasoline-powered models that use a home garden hose as a water source and use a spray wand like a car wash to deliver a stream of pressurized water.

Step2 Wet the concrete to be cleaned, and then apply the cleaning product of your choice according to the directions. These chemical products help to strip off grease, oil and dirt, and some actually help to bleach and brighten the appearance of the concrete. A solution of 50% bleach and 50% water makes a pretty good, inexpensive cleaner.

Step3 Use a long-handled scrub brush to maximize cleaning potential as the cleaner is applied.

Step4 Rinse the concrete thoroughly with the power washer. Make sure to remove all the solution and any loose debris from the concrete.

Step5 Allow the slab to dry completely.

Sealing Concete

Step1 Find the total surface area you will be sealing by measuring its length and width and multiplying these figures. Take the numbers with you to the home improvement center, lumberyard or hardware store when you buy sealer.

Step2 Purchase concrete sealer premixed in one-gallon or larger containers. It is made to be rolled on with a roller assembly.

Step3 Apply thin, even coats of the sealer. It is better to put on two lighter coats that will dry evenly than one heavy, blotchy coat.

Step4 Allow the sealer to dry completely before using the treated area.
