Most homeowners assume a stained driveway is stained forever. The truth: most stains lift out significantly with the right pretreatment and equipment.
Pretreatment Is The Difference
A professional visit starts with targeted pretreatment on stains — oil, rust, organic growth — before any pressure is applied. Skipping this step is why DIY attempts underwhelm.
Surface Cleaners Do The Heavy Lifting
Rotary surface cleaners deliver even pressure across the pour, avoiding the striping that consumer wands cause. Combined with pretreatment, the result is a driveway that looks decades younger.
Helpful Tips
Quick takeaways
- Fresh oil stains are always easier to remove than aged ones.
- Ask about sealing after cleaning if you want longer-lasting results.
