Cleaning Stamped Concrete

Cleaning
​Start with a garden hose, household soap, and a medium-bristle brush. Following the soap and water scrub, rinse and let the patio dry. If there are stains, additional cleaning or even stripping the sealer may be needed. We have found that solvents like xylene work well. If you do plan on treating a spot, test before you do the whole surface. This will ensure the cleaner works but does not create a bigger problem in the process. At this time, you can then make a determination if the surface really needs to be resealed. 
 
Resealing
If resealing is necessary, I recommend resealing with the stamped concrete, high-shine, sealant above. Always test a spot that is not easily visible to make sure the existing sealant and the new sealant are compatible. Stamped concrete should be resealed every 1-2 years.​
