Cleaning Mold Off Your Concrete Sidewalk

Mold growth on your concrete sidewalk not only makes it look unappealing and old, but also poses a threat of slipping to anyone who walks on it. Mold isn't a problem that goes away on its own, rather it needs to be manually removed if you want to get rid of it totally.

First, you'll need a bucket of water, some oxygen bleach, and a nylon scrub brush. Pour a cup of the oxygen bleach on the empty bucket, then add the water. Soften the molds by rinsing the concrete surface with water.

Then, pour the cleaning solution to the affected parts of the sidewalk, making sure that all areas with mold growth are completely saturated. Use the nylon brush to remove all the remaining molds which were not washed off by the solution. Brush thoroughly until all traces of mold are gone; repeat the rinse process.


You can also use a pressure washer together with the oxygen bleach solution. If you don't know how to operate a pressure washer, then don't take the risk. Call a professional cleaning contractor to thoroughly clean your driveway; you can also include all other areas in your house like your windows, sidings, and patio.
