Concrete & Walkways at Purified Wash
Concrete & Walkways on Cleveland's west side
The flatwork around a house takes more abuse than the driveway does and gets cleaned a tenth as often. Public sidewalks collect road salt all winter. Front steps grow a slick green film on the shaded side. Pool decks pick up sunscreen, leaf tannin and algae.
All of it cleans up, and all of it needs the same thing the driveway needs: an even pass with a surface cleaner rather than someone waving a wand. We do the flatwork most companies treat as an afterthought.
Concrete cleaning is the catch all for driveway cleaning, sidewalk cleaning, patio cleaning and the steps and aprons in between. Same surface cleaner, same pre treatment for rust, salt and algae, and the same even finish whether it is one front walk or the whole property.
How we do it
- 01
Assess
We look at the age and condition of the slab first. Spalling or flaking concrete gets a lower pressure and we tell you what it will and will not do.
- 02
Pre treat
Organic growth, rust from downspouts and sprinkler heads, and salt haze all get treated before the water goes on.
- 03
Surface clean
Even overlapping passes across the open concrete, then wand detail along the edges and joints.
- 04
Rinse
The slurry gets pushed clear of the beds and the lawn instead of being left to dry on the slab in a ring.

FAQs
FAQs about concrete & walkways
The questions we actually get asked about this service.
01Is this different from your pressure washing service?
Same equipment and same method, different surfaces. We list it separately because homeowners often want the walk, the steps and the porch done without the whole driveway, and it is priced accordingly.
02My steps get slippery. Will cleaning fix that?
Usually yes. Most slick concrete in Northeast Ohio is a thin algae film growing on the shaded side, and it comes right off. Once it is clean, the slip risk drops immediately.
03Can you get rust off my sidewalk?
Most of the time. Rust from a sprinkler head, a downspout or a planter responds well to a rust specific treatment. Deep rust in old, porous concrete will lighten a great deal but may not disappear entirely.
04What about the salt stains from winter?
Salt haze is a white or gray film left behind after the melt, and it comes off with a pre treatment and an even pass. Spring is the busiest season for exactly this reason.
05Will you get the concrete near my landscaping wet?
Yes, and that is fine. We soak the beds first and rinse them after so the runoff is diluted well past the point of doing any harm to established plants.
06Do you seal concrete afterward?
Yes. Seal coating is its own service, and the best time for it is right after a cleaning, once the concrete has dried. One visit to clean, a follow up to seal. See the seal coating page for how it works.
