How to clean your driveway when you don’t have a pressure washer

If you don’t have a pressure washer, you’ve probably been looking at your driveway or patio for the last few monnths, thinking about how long you can put off cleaning it before it becomes too unsightly. However, cleaning outdoor areas without a pressure washer doesn’t have to be back-breaking work. You can increase your curb appeal with special products that require not even so much as a scrub!

Why a pressure washer might not be the right tool for you

When you think about cleaning your driveway, a pressure washer might be the first tool that comes to mind to help you get the job done. However, it might not always be the best tool. Here’s why:

• They can be expensive – If you don’t already own a pressure washer, you may not want to invest in one if you’re only cleaning a small outdoor space, or if you’re only going to be using it a couple of times per year. A good pressure washer can be expensive, so you could save your money to spend on things that you actually want.
• They can damage fragile surfaces – If the surface you want to clean is very old or fragile, a pressure washer could damage it, causing you to shell out money on repairs.
• They use a lot of water – Trying to cut down on water usage for sustainability or financial reasons? A pressure washer might not be the best option – average pressure washers use around eight gallons of water per minute!

An alternative to a pressure washer

If you don’t have a pressure washer or you don’t want to use one, there are alternatives for cleaning your driveway or patio area. Try turning to eco-friendly, affordable, no scrub options such as Block Blitz!
