Which Cleaner to Use on Each Driveway Stain

The right cleaner for what’s actually on your driveway

Not every stain responds to the same solution. Oil and grease need a degreaser that breaks down the bond between the stain and the concrete. Algae and moss need a solution that kills growth at the root, not just rinses the surface. Rust from old patio furniture or sprinkler heads needs its own treatment entirely, since a standard degreaser won’t touch it.

We match the cleaning solution to what’s actually staining your driveway instead of running one all-purpose product over everything. Hot water alone lifts loose dirt and light grime. Add the right chemical and it also breaks down what’s worked into the surface.

What we use, and why

• Degreasers for oil, grease, and tire marks
• Algaecide treatments for algae, moss, and mildew
• Rust removers for metal stains from furniture and fixtures
• Eco-friendly formulas safe for grass, pets, and landscaping

Why the right chemistry matters

Using the wrong solution, or none at all, means either the stain doesn’t fully lift or the surface takes damage it didn’t need. Some products are too harsh for stamped or colored concrete and can dull the finish. We check the surface first, then pick a solution that gets the stain out without stripping color or sealant.
