How To Pressure Clean My Driveway

How can I clean my driveway? Pressure washing a driveway is a 3 step process that starts with preparation. Step1. Begin by clearing the driveway of any vehicles, furniture, or debris. Use a line trimmer to give the grass a haircut if it overlaps on to the driveway. Sweep away loose dirt and leaves. Hose down the whole area and and pre-treat any stubborn oil stains with a degreaser, letting it sit for 10–15 minutes.

TIP! Do not run down to Bunnings and buy an electric pressure washer thinking it will do the job. We have seen people make this mistake again and again. The small electric gurneys will only clean a small area at a time, about the size of a 50c piece. To do your whole driveway will take so many hours that it's not worthwhile. Do it properly with pro gear from JetClean!

The correct machine for the job is a 4000PSI petrol motor/pump. It is not worthwhile buying one of these if it will just sit in the shed. Its cheaper and easier to hire someone to bring the proper machine and surface cleaner to do the job while you sip a cup of tea.

Step 2. We will use a petrol motor and connect the pump to your garden tap. We typically use a surface cleaner, which is a specialised 16" circular device that cleans driveway effectively. For any leftover edges or walls we use a Turbo Nozzle on a Wand to finish off the smaller spots.

Step 3: We hose down all the cleaned surfaces
