CONCRETE MAINTENANCE
Tips to help you maintain your concrete
Would you like your concrete surface to serve you well for years to come? Although concrete is, of course, very durable, proper maintenance is key to making sure that your concrete stands the test of time while continuing to look great. Here, A Down II Earth Concrete Services is proud to present a few handy tips for keeping your concrete at its very best!
1) To keep it looking new - make sure you clean it on a regular basis
2) Do not use harsh chemicals on your concrete
3) Sealing your concrete will help prevent stains
Sealing and repairs
Sealing any concrete surface is a fantastic preventative maintenance measure. Sealants not only protect against water and dust, but they also guard against abrasion and the damage that can result from UV rays.
And while concrete can stand up to a lot of use, cracks can happen in even the most high-quality products. Should a crack develop, get it repaired right away — that will help protect the structural soundness of your concrete.
Cleaning concrete
It's important to thoroughly clean concrete — a deeper clean than your regular mopping up of spills — at least once per year.
And if you have decorative concrete, we recommend that you also check with your decorative product manufacturer or another expert in order to determine if there are any special cleaning instructions to follow.
