What to know about cleaning 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.

Is concrete sealing for stamped concrete safe for my plants and pets?
We pre-wet plants and lawns, keep cleaning solutions diluted to what the surface needs, and rinse landscaping again when we finish. Keep pets and children inside until surfaces are rinsed and dry.
How often should I schedule concrete sealing for stamped concrete?
Wash yearly; reseal every 2-3 years. Shade, nearby trees, humidity and heavy traffic mean more frequent cleaning; sunny, dry spots can go longer. Our free cleaning frequency tool gives a recommendation for your climate.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain doesn't stop most washing, but heavy rain, high wind, lightning and freezing temperatures do, and sealers and stains need dry weather to cure. If the weather isn't right, we reschedule at no charge. Our work is backed by a satisfaction guarantee.
