Overview
Concrete driveways in Pflugerville accumulate contamination from multiple sources simultaneously: oil and fluid drips from vehicles, tire marks, algae and mold growth in shaded areas, pollen deposits that feed biological growth, and general atmospheric dirt that embeds in the porous concrete surface over time. The result is a driveway that looks permanently stained even after rain.
Professional driveway cleaning in Pflugerville uses a rotary surface cleaner — a spinning pressure washing attachment that cleans the full surface width evenly, without the streaking pattern that a standard pressure washing wand creates. We pre-treat oil stains with a commercial degreaser, clean the full surface, and apply a post-treatment algae inhibitor that extends the clean period to 12–18 months. The difference between a professional clean and a DIY rinse is visible immediately and lasts significantly longer.
How It Works
A rotary surface cleaner is the key tool for professional driveway cleaning. It's a pressure washing attachment with two or more rotating nozzles inside a shroud that captures the spray. The rotating nozzles clean the full surface width evenly at consistent pressure — eliminating the stripe pattern that a standard wand creates when moving across a driveway. The shroud also contains the spray, preventing the dirty water from splashing onto the house or landscaping.
Oil stain treatment is a separate step from surface cleaning. Fresh oil stains can be treated with degreaser and removed completely. Old, set oil stains (years of dripping in the same spot) can be significantly lightened but may not be fully removable — the oil has penetrated deep into the concrete pores. We assess oil stain age and depth during the site visit and set realistic expectations before starting.
Compare Your Options
| Surface Type | Pressure | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Standard concrete | 2,500–3,500 PSI | Rotary surface cleaner |
| Exposed aggregate | 1,500–2,500 PSI | Lower pressure to protect aggregate |
| Stamped concrete | 1,000–2,000 PSI | Avoid high pressure on sealer |
| Brick pavers | 1,000–2,000 PSI | Low pressure, avoid joint sand displacement |
| Asphalt | 1,500–2,500 PSI | Avoid high pressure on aged asphalt |
