1. Clean concrete surface immediately after a spill to minimize any discoloration or damage. This includes exterior: fertilizers, leaves, grass clippings, bark molds and tire marks. Clean with a 28-day biodegradable cleaner and rinse thoroughly. This should be done at least every month to keep the surface appearance at its best.
2. Re-coat the concrete every three to five years to protect the surface, more often if traffic warrants it.
3. Work with a concrete maintenance partner. A maintenance partner will help you make the most of your investment and provide protection and maintenance solutions designed to fit the specific needs of your concrete. Your maintenance partner should not only know concrete, but everything involved in preparing, protecting and maintaining your investment.
4. Another option that is fast and effective is power washing. Usually a machine with 3000 psi of pressure and a 4 gallons a minute flow rate work the best. It might be a good investment to buy a machine if needed for other projects. However, there are places that rent these machines when on a budget.
By keeping these points in mind when pouring, curing, cleaning and sealing concrete, your investment will enjoy a long, healthy life.
