Cleaning A Tarmac Driveway

Or Call: (01332) 215216

Cleaning a tarmac driveway is a relatively easy process, and can be done with a simple garden hose. First, use a broom to sweep away any loose dirt or debris from the surface of the driveway. Next, spray the driveway down with water from the hose, making sure to get all the way to the edges. Finally, use a brush to scrub any stubborn dirt or grime, algae or moss that is present. Repeat this process if necessary to keep your driveway looking clean and new. A pressure wash can be used to clean the tarmac driveway, but caution has to be applied while using it.
