How To Maintain And Clean Your Resin Driveway

Here is a simple comparison between resin and tarmac.

Sweeping Your Driveway

Regular sweeping is an important part of keeping your resin-bound driveway clean and making it last longer. By sweeping the area often, you can keep dirt, leaves, and other things from building up and hurting or staining the resin. Use a stiff broom or a leaf blower to get rid of any loose dirt or dust on the surface. Watch out for the edges and corners, where things tend to gather. Regularly sweeping your resin driveway should be part of your maintenance plan to keep it looking good.

Pressure Washing

From time to time, it's a good idea to use a gentle pressure washer to clean your resin driveway more thoroughly. This method helps get rid of stubborn dirt, grime, and other impurities that may have built up over time. When you use a pressure washer, it's important to use a wide-angle nozzle and lower the pressure. In this way, the surface is kept clean without hurting the resin. From one end of the driveway to the other, stay as far away from the ground as possible. Try not to focus the pressure washer on one area for too long at a time. A light pressure wash every couple of months or as needed will keep your resin driveway looking great. ← click here to read our blog post about the longevity of resin driveways

Mild Detergent For Stains

To get rid of tougher marks or oil spills on your resin driveway, use a mild detergent and warm water. Technically, resin doesn't stain, so you shouldn't need to use much. This solution can help dissolve and lift off tough marks without hurting the resin surface. After putting the detergent mixture on the spot, use a soft-bristled brush to gently scrub it. Do not use harsh chemicals or cleaning products on the resin; they could damage it. After cleaning, make sure to rinse the area well with clean water to get rid of any leftover dirt. This method can get rid of oil stains and other tough stains that regular sweeping or pressure washing might not be able to get rid of completely. Use a light detergent to keep the look of your resin driveway clean and free of stains.

To sum up, resin driveways don't need much upkeep; they don't stain, grow weeds or moss, and don't need to be sealed regularly. A quick sweep, a power wash, and maybe some mild detergent will be all you need to keep your drive looking stunning, and good as new!
