The right way to clean concrete
A bare wand vs.
a pro surface cleaner
A Bare Wand
What it does to flatwork
- Leaves stripes, clean lines next to dirty ones, across the slab
- Can scar and etch the concrete where the tip lingers
- Rinses the green off the top without killing it, so it comes back fast
- Will not move the oil, rust, or tannin, which need their own treatment
Bub's method
Surface Cleaner
How we do it
- Even pressure across every slab, so all the flatwork finishes one color
- Organic green killed in the surface, so it holds longer
- Oil, rust, and tannin treated separately and read honestly
- Runoff steered off your beds, the joints and edges rinsed clean

The questions Irmo homeowners
actually ask
That is the goal. We run a surface cleaner across all the flatwork at even pressure, so the walks, the porch, and the patio come back to one consistent tone instead of one clean slab next to a dingy one. Where a slab is a different age or finish, we tell you what to expect.
Those are inorganic, so pressure and the green solution will not lift them. Oil takes a degreaser, rust takes a rust remover, and the orange pine tannin has its own treatment. We fade what we can and are straight about what may not come all the way out.
Yes. A surface cleaner spreads the pressure out instead of driving it into one line, which is easier on older slabs and decorative finishes than a bare wand. We ease off on any cracked, flaking, or coated spots, so we are not chipping at concrete that is already worn.
No. We soak them first, rinse them after, and steer the runoff away from them while we work. The pre-treatment dilutes and breaks down once rinsed, so the plantings along the flatwork come through fine.
Once rinsed and dry, yes. We flush the slabs and edges until nothing sits on top, then it just needs to dry before the family is back on it.
Yes, both, veteran-owned and fully insured, handled before we set foot on the property. The crew is the owner and his own people.

Irmo questions, answered
That is organic, algae and mildew, grown by the shade and damp. Under the Dutch Fork canopy the slabs that sit in tree shade go darkest, especially the north side of a patio or a walk under the eaves. It settles into the surface, so a hose will not move it, but a pre-treatment plus a surface cleaner pulls it out.
Those are inorganic and need their own treatment, a degreaser for oil, a rust remover for rust, the orange pine tannin its own product. Pressure alone will not lift them. We fade most of it and are honest up front about what may not come all the way out.
We run even pressure across all of it so the walks, porch, and patio match instead of one clean slab beside a dingy one. Where a slab is a different age, finish, or has its own staining, we tell you what to expect before we start.
Slower, because we kill it in the surface instead of rinsing the top. How fast depends on shade and moisture, so a slab that stays shaded under the canopy greens up before one in the open.
A about every year-and-a-half to two years rhythm keeps most flatwork looking right. Slabs under heavy tree cover catch more straw, tannin, and pollen, so the ones in the trees film up before the ones in the open.
We do, all over Irmo, from the flatwork around Friarsgate and Seven Oaks to Ballentine and the rest of the Dutch Fork. No trip fee to come to you. On the edge of the area, just ask.

Concrete Cleaning in Irmo, the Dutch Fork
Concrete Cleaning done right in Irmo
There are really two kinds of dirty on concrete, and they get cleaned two different ways. The first is organic, the green and black algae and mildew that the shade and damp grow on a slab. Out here under the Dutch Fork canopy that is most of what you see. The walks, the porch, and the north side of the patio go dark where the trees keep the sun off. That kind we pre-treat to kill it, then pull it out of the surface with a surface cleaner running even pressure. The second kind is inorganic, oil from the carport, rust from a planter or a grill, the orange tannin off the pine straw, and pressure alone will not touch those. They need their own targeted products. We sort out which is which on your concrete, clean the organic green to one even color, and treat the stains honestly, telling you up front what lifts all the way and what may not.
Irmo sits northwest of Columbia in the Dutch Fork, the old German-settled stretch of country between the Broad and Saluda rivers. The town took its name from two railroad men, Iredell and Moseley, and grew up around the Harbison corridor and Saint Andrews Road into a settled suburban place. The bones of it are the established 1970s and 1980s subdivisions, Friarsgate and Seven Oaks among them, sitting under a thick canopy of pine and hardwood, with newer growth still going up around the edges. The Okra Strut festival fills Irmo Community Park every fall, Harbison State Forest runs eighteen miles of trail down toward the Broad River, and out on the Ballentine side the town runs right up to Lake Murray. Dutch Fork schools anchor the place. Most of the homes are vinyl and brick on mature, tree-shaded lots, so the north-facing walls, the roofs tucked under the canopy, and the older concrete out front all green up fast in the Midlands humidity. The town straddles two counties, Lexington and Richland.
In Forest Ridge, Ballentine Estates, and Colony Ridge, or anywhere else around Irmo, we come to you for concrete cleaning, no trip fee.
While we're at your Irmo place, we can knock out your driveway cleaning, pool deck cleaning, and deck washing too, all on the same trip with no second trip fee.
Veteran-owned, and we treat your home like it's ours.

Our process, step by step
How we clean Irmo concrete, start to finish
Here is the full job on the flatwork around a Dutch Fork home. The aim is plain: every slab back to one even color, the green killed in the surface, and the oil and rust handled straight.
We walk the flatwork and read it first, the green algae and mildew that the canopy shade grows, and the inorganic marks like oil, rust, and pine tannin. They clean two different ways, so knowing which is which up front is half the job.
We lay the solution over the organic growth to kill it down in the surface, not just wet the top. That is what keeps the slab from greening back up a few weeks after a plain rinse.
A surface cleaner rides across the walks, porch, and patio under even pressure, bringing all the flatwork to one tone with none of the stripes a bare wand leaves.
We hit the oil, rust, and tannin with their own targeted products, fade what will fade, and say straight what may not. Then we rinse the grime off the slab and steer the runoff away from your beds.
