How to seal and protect your concrete driveway or patio so it lasts!

What happens here

Attach a coarse brush to an extendable paint stick. Manually scrub any visible debris or imperfections, such as bird droppings or stuck-on dirt, from the concrete surface. For particularly stubborn spots, a small amount of Dawn dish detergent can be applied to aid in cleaning. Once any stuck-on debris is removed, use a powerful leaf blower, specifically a Husqvarna Leaf Blaster, to blow off all loose dirt, dust, and small particles from the entire concrete pad, ensuring it is completely clean and dry before applying the sealer.

Goal: Remove all surface debris and dust to prepare concrete for sealing.
