Method and pressure

Moderate-pressure washCleaning method
Usually 1,500-2,500 PSI with a surface cleanerPressure

Cleaning solution: A concrete pre-treatment and degreaser as needed.

Caring for exposed aggregate

Exposed aggregate concrete has stones showing at the surface. Too much pressure can loosen stones at the edges, and the surface looks best when cleaned and resealed.

Avoid: High pressure at edges and cracks, which can pop out aggregate.

How often: Clean yearly; reseal every 2-3 years.
