Driveway Cleaning when is it needed

Clean vs dirty
Your clean driveway

The timing for your driveway cleaning depends on various factors, including the type of driveway surface, the climate in your area, and the amount of dirt, grime, or stains that have accumulated. Here are some indicators that it may be time to give your driveway a cleaning:

  1. Visible dirt and grime: If your driveway has accumulated noticeable dirt, grime, or stains, it's a good sign that it's time for cleaning. If it's dirty than it is time. :-)

  2. Discoloration or fading: If your driveway surface has started to look dull, faded, or discoloured, it may be an indication that it's time for  cleaning. This can happen due to exposure to the elements, UV rays, or other environmental factors that can make your driveway lose its original color and shine. A professional surface cleaner will remove this.

  3. Algae or moss growth: If you notice algae or moss growth on your driveway surface, it's a sign that it's time for  cleaning. Algae and moss can thrive in moist and shaded areas, and they can make your driveway slippery and unsafe to walk or drive on. This is a big WHS issue with units etc.

  4. Changing seasons: Depending on the climate in your area, different seasons may require different levels of cleaning for your driveway. For example, in the winter, your driveway may accumulate more leaves and debris. Spring and summer may bring pollen, sap, or other types of stains. Keeping an eye on the changing seasons and the impact on your driveway can help you determine when it's time for  cleaning.

  5. Regular maintenance schedule: If you have a regular maintenance schedule for your driveway, such as an annual or bi-annual cleaning, it's important to stick to it. Regular cleaning can help prevent the build-up of dirt, grime, stains, and other debris, and keep your driveway in good condition. Using a blower to remove leaves etc is a good idea.

  6. Special events or occasions: If you're hosting a special event or occasion at your home, such as a party, wedding, or gathering, it's a good idea to give your driveway a thorough clean and make a good impression on your guests.
