How we clean it

Caring for stamped concrete
Stamped and colored concrete is usually protected by a sealer. Washing it well is the first step before resealing, and the color and pattern look much better after both.
Avoid: High pressure that strips sealer unevenly or wears off color release on the surface.
How often: Wash yearly; reseal every 2-3 years.

Patio Cleaning for Stamped Concrete in Hilton Head Island, SC
Shaded driveways, walkways and pool decks in South Carolina grow black mildew and algae quickly and can become slippery. Pre-treating the growth before washing, and post-treating after, keeps them clean longer than pressure alone.
Spring pollen season in South Carolina coats houses, cars, screens and patios in a yellow-green film, and pollen gives mildew something to feed on. Many homeowners book their wash after pollen season ends so the house stays clean longer.
Red clay soil is common in parts of South Carolina. Rain splashes it onto the bottom of the siding, walls and walkways, and its iron-rich color can stain light surfaces. It usually needs a dedicated clay or rust cleaner rather than pressure alone.
