Flat Work Cleaning – with Concrete Cleaner and Rust Remover
One great upsell when you are cleaning a customer’s home, gutters, or roof, besides decks and their other wood accents is to clean their home’s concrete areas as well. Areas such as sidewalks, driveways, curbs, flower or garden trim edgings as well as pool decks and patios.
The best way to clean these flat surfaces is with a specialty circular cleaning machine. Although many contractors use water alone with this kind of equipment, the application of even a small amount of specific concrete cleaner will make the job come out that much nicer in less time. Our “Concrete Cleaner” contains an organic solvent designed to dissolve and remove grease, oil, black tire marks, and embedded dirt. And of course, with all pressure washing using hot water will improve the cleaning and shorten the amount of time as well. Hotter water allows the surfactants and other components in the cleaners to work their best.
Expanding your cleaning services to include concrete areas like sidewalks, driveways, and pool decks can significantly enhance customer satisfaction. Using specialized equipment such as circular cleaning machines ensures thorough and efficient cleaning, especially when paired with a targeted concrete cleaner. At best alpine carpet cleaners, we understand the importance of using hot water in pressure washing to maximize the effectiveness of our cleaning solutions. This approach not only removes tough stains like grease, oil, and tire marks but also revitalizes the appearance of concrete surfaces, leaving them looking pristine in less time.
But even if you do not have rotary equipment you can get good results with a regular pressure washer. Just be sure to use the correct size nozzle, and proper concentration of cleaner, all with the lowest setting possible for your machine to remove the dirt, and follow your local ordinances in regards to the water runoff or need for reclamation equipment.
Expanding your cleaning services to include commercial properties can significantly boost your business’s reputation and customer base.

Another problem that may come up when cleaning concrete, brick, or rock surfaces is red rust deposits from hard water in areas where iron is in high concentrations. This red coloration can be a headache and many companies actually etch the top of a surface off to remove this color which in time can cause major damage. We have another solution. You can use our “Wood Brightener” also called “Rust Remover” to remove those rust stains from white decorative gravel in flower beds and patios.
“Wood Brightener” contains a mild Oxalic Acid which when used at the proper mixture of 2 pounds of cleaner per 5 gallons of water will remove the rust color safely from the rocks in and around flower beds. You can spray on with a hand pump and allow it to sit for about 5 minutes and then rinse well with water. Repeated applications may be needed if the buildup is severe and has been on the rock surfaces for a long time. Repeating the application is safer for plantings rather than increasing the solution strength or dwell time or using high concentrations of bleach. Have patio furniture that left rust marks, no problem, just take a look at these before and after photos, no bleach was used, just “Wood Brightener”.
Nothing improves the curb appeal of a home more than having a clean bright appearance.
