The Winning Combination: Bleach and Mud May-Day
When it comes to driveway cleaning, two key ingredients can make all the difference: bleach and Mud May-Day. Let's break down why these two solutions are essential for achieving optimal results.
Bleach: A Powerful Algae Killer
First up, bleach. This household staple isn't just for laundry—it's a powerhouse when it comes to killing algae and spores on outdoor surfaces like driveways. Bleach effectively eliminates unsightly stains and restores the pristine appearance of concrete. But here's the kicker: not all bleach is created equal.
Professional pressure washing companies rely on industrial-grade bleach, typically boasting a strength of around 12.5%. This concentration packs double the punch of standard store-bought bleach, which maxes out at 6%. By using industrial-grade bleach, you ensure maximum efficacy in combating stubborn stains and organic growth on driveways.

-
Preparation: Dilute the bleach and Mud May-Day according to the manufacturer's instructions, ensuring the correct concentrations for your cleaning application.
-
Application: Apply the solutions evenly across the surface using a pressure washer or handheld sprayer, covering the affected areas thoroughly.
-
Agitation: For stubborn stains, use a brush or surface cleaner to agitate the detergents, enhancing their cleaning action.
-
Rinsing: Allow the solutions to dwell on the surface for a few minutes, then rinse thoroughly with clean water, using high-pressure jets to remove loosened dirt and debris.
