The Importance of Regular Cleaning
Your driveway, patio, and sidewalks endure a lot – from the harsh Toronto winters to heavy foot traffic, spills, and weather damage. Over time, dirt and contaminants can accumulate, making your surfaces not only unattractive but also unsafe. Here’s why regular cleaning matters:
Improved Safety
A slippery driveway or patio can cause accidents, especially when wet. Regular cleaning ensures your surfaces are safe for your family and visitors.
Longer Lifespan
Removing dirt, mold, and debris helps prevent erosion, cracking, and other long-term damage to your outdoor spaces.
Boosted Curb Appeal
Whether you’re hosting guests, selling your home, or just want to take pride in your property, clean walkways and patios make a huge difference.
We recommend cleaning your driveway, sidewalk, and patio every few years – or sooner if they start looking slippery or stained.

Frequently Asked Questions about Driveway, Sidewalk, and Patio Cleaning
How to clean a concrete patio?
Start by removing furniture, plants, and loose debris with a broom or blower. Rinse the surface with a garden hose or pressure washer to loosen dirt. Apply a concrete cleaner or a mix of dish soap and water for general cleaning. For stains like mold or grease, use a degreaser or vinegar solution. Scrub the surface with a stiff-bristle brush, let the cleaner sit for 10–15 minutes, then rinse thoroughly. For large patios, a surface cleaner attachment ensures even results. Regular cleaning keeps your patio safe, slip-resistant, and looking its best.
How to clean a concrete driveway without killing grass?
Use a biodegradable, non-toxic cleaner specifically labeled safe for plants and lawns. Start by sweeping the driveway and pre-wetting any nearby grass to dilute runoff. Apply the cleaner directly to the concrete and scrub with a stiff brush or use a pressure washer with care. Rinse thoroughly, directing water away from grassy areas when possible. Avoid bleach or harsh chemicals, as they can damage your lawn. At GPM, we use eco-friendly products and controlled washing methods to protect your landscaping while delivering a spotless clean.
How to clean a concrete driveway with bleach?
First, dilute the bleach – mix 1 part bleach with 10 parts water in a bucket or pump sprayer. Wet the concrete surface lightly with water to prevent the bleach from soaking in too fast. Apply the solution evenly across stained or moldy areas and let it sit for 5–10 minutes. Scrub with a stiff-bristle brush to loosen dirt and stains. Rinse thoroughly with a hose or pressure washer, keeping runoff away from grass and plants to avoid damage. Always wear gloves and eye protection, and never mix bleach with other cleaners. Use bleach only when necessary – eco-safe alternatives are better for long-term use.
How to remove leaf stains from concrete?
Start by sweeping away any remaining leaves and debris. Then apply a mixture of warm water and oxygen bleach (or a concrete-safe cleaner) to the stained areas. Let it sit for 10–15 minutes to break down the tannins that cause the stains. Scrub with a stiff-bristle brush, then rinse thoroughly with a hose or pressure washer. For stubborn stains, repeat the process or use a mild acid-based cleaner like diluted white vinegar. Regular cleaning and prompt leaf removal can help prevent future staining.
Will vinegar damage concrete?
Yes, over time, undiluted vinegar can damage concrete – especially if it’s unsealed. Vinegar is acidic, and repeated use can slowly erode the surface, weaken the cement paste, and dull the finish. If you use vinegar to clean concrete, always dilute it (typically 1 part vinegar to 4–10 parts water), limit contact time, and rinse thoroughly. For regular cleaning or stain removal, it’s safer to use pH-neutral or concrete-specific cleaners, especially on sealed or decorative surfaces.
Is hot water pressure washing safe for all types of driveway surfaces?
Hot water pressure washing is highly effective, but it’s not safe for all surfaces. It works best on concrete and heavy-duty asphalt where it removes oil, grease, and stains more efficiently than cold water. However, it may damage softer surfaces like decorative concrete, stamped finishes, or older, brittle asphalt by causing cracking or surface wear. At GPM, we assess the material and condition of your driveway before using hot water, and we adjust pressure and temperature settings to clean effectively without causing damage.
How effective is hot water pressure washing for removing stains like oil and algae?
Hot water pressure washing is very effective for removing tough stains like oil, algae, grease, and grime. The heat breaks down oils and loosens organic buildup much faster than cold water, while high pressure lifts the residue from porous surfaces like concrete or asphalt. It’s especially useful for deep cleaning driveways, parking lots, and loading docks where stains are embedded. At GPM, we combine hot water with commercial-grade degreasers for maximum cleaning power – fast, thorough, and surface-safe.
