Pavement cleaning — how to do it right

Why clean pavement with a pressure washer

Over time, pavement accumulates moss, algae, dirt between joints and a grey film that makes the surface slippery and visually dated. A professional pavement cleaning service can cost €150–€400 depending on the area, whereas renting a pressure washer for €25 a day lets you clean a terrace, path or driveway for a fraction of that cost.

How to clean pavement correctly

• First clear away leaves, branches and coarse debris
• Use the rotary dirt-blaster nozzle for an even surface clean
• Work in sections, moving in one direction
• Keep an even distance from the surface to avoid streaking
• Use a narrower, more concentrated jet for dirt built up in the joints

When you need a surface-cleaning attachment

For a large, even area of pavement, a surface-cleaning attachment (a rotating disc with a built-in brush) gives a much more even result and protects against side splashing. It's available as an add-on in the booking form.

If you're also planning to clean a terrace or façade, consider a combined terrace-and-pavement cleaning session with the same machine.
