Jet Set Pro provides comprehensive driveway and patio cleaning services throughout the Gold Coast, Tweed, and South Brisbane.
Our driveway pressure cleaning service is simple and effective. We use a combination of hot / cold water and our own dedicated surface cleaning unit, as well as a high-quality, environmentally friendly biocide / microbial solution that deters any future regrowth long after your Gold Coast driveway cleaning and patio washing service has been completed.
The Jet Set Pro Experience
Tough surfaces require a tough approach. Our Driveway / Patio Cleaning Service provides an exemplary finish on exposed aggregate concrete, liquid limestone, stencilcrete, patterned concrete, plain concrete finishes, brick pavers or tiles.
The Jet Set Pro Gold Coast driveway cleaning service involves a 6-step process that ensures 100% customer satisfaction.
Step one involves a site assessment, applying a pre-soak to vegetation/grass and surrounding areas so that they are not harmed during the application of our solutions. We also remove any plant pots and heavy debris before undertaking a deep clean of the driveway / patio using our Surface Cleaning Unit. This provides the initial clean from which we can move on to the removal of tough stains and organic matter.
Step two is the treatment stage, where we use a powerful biocide to kill unwanted organic growth including algae, lichens, and black spots/streaks. The biocide treatment not only kills existing organic growth, it delays future regrowth as well – meaning your Driveway / Patio stays cleaner for longer.
Step three is to do a second clean of the driveway, including cleaning the edges of the driveway with our turbo lance. This creates a neat, clean perimeter for your driveway whilst also removing any stubborn stains.
Step four is to do a final rinse down. This step washes away the treatments and cleaners so that your driveway is clear of all solutions applied, as well as removing all the dirt and materials that have been loosened or killed by the initial steps.
Step five is almost a bonus step, where our team cleans your home windows/walls surrounding the driveway to remove any splashes of dirt or chemicals, that may have occurred during the cleaning process.
The final stage is for paved patio’s/driveways only and is to be conducted once the entire area is completely dry – usually a day or so later.
Step six involves re-sanding the joints of the driveway with either gravel or kiln dried sand, whichever is most appropriate for your driveway. The re-sanding not only completes the look of your driveway, but it also prevents the growth of organic matter and deterioration of the drive’s integrity.
Driveway Pressure Cleaning: What not to do
It can be tempting to try and DIY your paved or concrete driveway cleaning, or to opt for an ultra-budget company, in the mistaken belief that it will get the job done just as well. Unfortunately, unless done correctly by a professional pressure washing company, using the correct tools and techniques, driveway cleaning could end up either ineffective or causing irreversible damage to the driveway. The following are some common driveway cleaning pitfalls:
Failing to pressure wash the driveway before and after treating it. Pressure washing a driveway is an essential step in removing inorganic dirt from the driveway and will leave dead organic matter on the driveway.
Not using the right cleaners and solutions. For example, failing to use a flat surface cleaner increases the chance your driveway will have an uneven finish. When used correctly, our specially designed surface cleaner ensures an even finish across the entire driveway / patio, not matter the size. Equally, if you do not use a biocide / microbial treatment, the organic growth will not be killed off and removed properly so will still be there when the cleaning is complete. Meaning, the organic matter that has been removed will be able to grow back quickly.
Improper sanding. There are all kinds of mistakes that can be made when sanding a driveway after it has been cleaned. Some people fail to sand a driveway with kiln dried sand, resulting in the blocks shifting about and the driveway eventually falling apart. Others use kiln dried sand where it is not appropriate, such as where a driveway has permeable blocks when gravel is more suitable, and kiln dried sand counteracts the drainage of the driveway.
Finally, possibly the most common mistake, re-sanding the driveway before it has sufficiently dried. This mistake ends up with the sand clumping together and not correctly filling the joints with the driveway. This means that after a few days, the sand will fall down the joints and disappear, leaving an unsanded look to the driveway, causing the pavers to shift and crack over time.
With so many potential mistakes when it comes to pressure cleaning a driveway, using a professional team with years of experience is the best way to ensure the care and maintenance of your driveway /patio.
