Concrete Cleaning and Sealing (Concrete Cleaning)

Brighten Your Concrete. Protect It From Damage. Make It Last Longer.

🧼 What Is Concrete Cleaning and Sealing?

Concrete Cleaning and Sealing is the process of:

• Deep-cleaning concrete

• Removing stains, algae, dirt, salt, and grime

• Then, applying a protective sealant

It keeps your driveway, patio, walkways, and slabs looking fresh — and more importantly, protects them from freeze-thaw cracks, salt damage, and long-term wear.

This service makes concrete brighter, stronger, and more durable, even in Cincinnati's winters.

💡 Why This Matters — Especially in Cincinnati

Cincinnati has:

• Salt-heavy winters

• Freeze–thaw cycles

• Humidity

• Rainy seasons

• Shaded yards that grow algae

All of this ruins concrete if it’s not maintained.

Concrete Cleaning and Sealing helps by:

• Removing algae + mildew (less slipping)

• Brightening stained/aged concrete

• Sealing pores so water doesn’t freeze inside the slab

• Reducing crack formation

• Slowing wear from cars, foot traffic, and weather

• Protecting your hardscape investment

Most concrete damage is preventable — sealing makes a huge difference.

❓ FAQ — Concrete Cleaning Edition

Q: How long before sealed concrete is ready to use?

A: Usually 24 hours for light use, 48+ hours for driveways.

Q: Does sealing make concrete shiny?

A: Only if you choose a glossy sealer — penetrating sealers are invisible.

A: Often yes — many stains can be significantly improved or eliminated with specialized cleaners.
