What is concrete acid washing?

Acid washing is a deep-cleaning process that removes surface contaminants, stains, and residues from concrete. It helps open the concrete’s pores, creating a clean, even surface for sealing or finishing. This process is ideal for:

  • New concrete that needs preparation before sealing or painting
  • Weathered or stained concrete that’s lost its original colour
  • Driveways, patios, and pathways with built-up grime or surface dust

Our team uses controlled, environmentally safe acid solutions and neutralisation techniques to achieve a clean, uniform finish without damaging the surface.

Why seal concrete after washing?

Sealing protects concrete from moisture, oil, UV exposure, and surface wear, keeping it looking new for years. Once washed, we apply a high-performance sealer designed to suit your concrete type and finish. Benefits of sealing include:

  • Stain resistance – Helps prevent oil, grease, and water marks
  • UV protection – Prevents colour fading and surface breakdown
  • Easier cleaning – Makes future maintenance simple and fast
  • Enhanced appearance – Brings out natural colour and texture
  • Extended lifespan – Reduces cracking and surface erosion

How do I maintain sealed concrete?

To keep sealed concrete looking its best, allow 24 hours before walking on it and 48 hours before driving or placing heavy items. Clean the surface with mild detergent and water, avoiding harsh chemicals or acidic cleaners. You can use a pressure washer on a low or medium setting. For long-term protection, plan to reseal every 2–4 years, and keep the surface clean by sweeping regularly and wiping spills promptly.
