What is the best to clean dirty concrete?

Have you ever wondered how to start a parking lot cleaning business? Have you considered parking lot striping?

Well before you do, you need to know this important subject.

New concrete is being poured on a daily basis in the Houston Texas market.  Not knowing how to properly clean a concrete parking lot that is recently poured is damaging to our industries.  Concrete requires several years of curing before it should be pressure washed with a high pressure (1000 or more PSI).  When you pressure wash brand new concrete with a surface cleaner, you will etch the concrete and make lines form from your spray pattern.  This is damaging the exterior of the concrete.  

 

On residential concrete you should let it sit for 3 to 5 years before you consider using a surface cleaner on this material.  On commercial concrete you should let it set for 2 to 3 years before using a surface cleaner.  Commercial concrete is more rigid, and has a more rigorous compliance requirement than residential concrete driveways do.  Because of this, the quality of the concrete is generally higher than in a residential neighborhood where there is limited quality compliance enforced.

 

You will ask how do you fix this problem when it occurs?  Apply NMD80 to correct this problem.  You can apply this with a downstream injector or pump spray 10:1 on the surface.

 

One way we have found safer to clean new concrete is by using a DN10 Ball Valve .  This has been found to be the fastest and safest way to clean jobs known as “post construction clean-up”.  We have commercial construction cleaning services in League City and surrounding areas and have been offering these services since 2014.
