A concrete patio is an
excellent choice for those who favor a sturdy and long lasting area
outside the house. However, like any surface, your patio will need
regular cleaning and maintenance to keep it in good form. Here are
some simple tips on caring for your concrete.
As much as possible,
never put off cleaning your concrete; do it as soon as possible
especially it you see grease, stains and molds. For regular cleaning,
use a stiff-bristled broom to sweep it of dirt like fallen leaves and
twigs. If you need to use water and soap to remove the dirt, use only
mild soap to keep the concrete from fading.
If you notice any cracks,
fill it with caulk. Sealing is a good way to protect concrete from
damage. Use a good quality sealant to ensure that all crevices are
covered, and that they do not easily come off. Otherwise, water will
seep in and you'll endanger your concrete patio.
Should you deem that it
needs a more thorough clean than you can do with a garden hose and a
bucket of cleaning solution, call a professional for help. There are
many contractors who offer pressure washing services and can
guarantee that they can deliver quality workmanship.
