As a homeowner, choosing concrete for your entryways, walkways, and driveway is an additional cost and investment. People choose concrete because it is highly durable, but that does not make it completely maintenance-free. The best way to protect your concrete from cracking and staining is by using a good mix of concrete pressure and concrete soft washing techniques and solvents to make it shine like new. Regular pressure washing will help to remove weed formation that can eventually lead to cracks, and it will also reduce staining. The longer you leave grease and grime sitting on the surface of your concrete, the harder it will be to get clean!
