Driveway Cleaning Sydney | Oil, Rust and Leaf Stain Removal

A driveway is usually the largest single surface at the front of a property, so it sets the impression before anyone reaches the door. It also collects the hardest stains to shift — engine oil, rust from garden furniture and downpipes, tannin from leaf litter, and the black algae that makes a shaded driveway slippery after rain.

Different stains, different treatments

Oil has to be broken down with a degreaser before any pressure is applied, or it spreads rather than lifts. Rust needs an acid-based treatment and will not respond to pressure at all. Leaf tannin sits in the pores of the concrete and needs dwell time. Algae is biological and comes back fast unless it is treated rather than blasted. A single pass with a pressure washer handles none of these properly, which is why driveways often look patchy after a DIY clean.

Surfaces we work on

Plain and coloured concrete, exposed aggregate, brick and concrete pavers, sandstone flagging, stencilled and stamped concrete, and tiled driveways. Each takes a different pressure and a different tool — a surface cleaner for broad flat runs, detail work along edges and joints so you do not get the striped finish left by a wand alone.

Sealing

Resealing coloured or stamped concrete after cleaning restores the colour and protects against reabsorption. On plain concrete it is usually unnecessary, and we will say so.
