The secret to pool deck cleaning for stamped concrete is using the right method, not the most pressure. In Havre, MT, we match the cleaner and pressure to the surface so it comes out clean without damage. For stamped concrete, that means moderate-pressure wash.
The right method for the job
Cleaning solution: A sealer-safe cleaner; a degreaser for oil spots.
Caring for stamped concrete
Stamped and colored concrete is usually protected by a sealer. Washing it well is the first step before resealing, and the color and pattern look much better after both.
Avoid: High pressure that strips sealer unevenly or wears off color release on the surface.
How often: Wash yearly; reseal every 2-3 years.
