Professional concrete cleaning across Melbourne
Dirty concrete isn’t just unappealing — it’s a safety issue. Dirt, grime and mould make a surface slippery and raise the risk of slips and falls, and moss and algae growth can weaken the concrete itself, leading to cracking and other damage over time.
We’ve cleaned concrete across Melbourne since 2015 — driveways, patios, warehouse floors and tilt panel walls. The aim is never just appearance: a properly cleaned surface is safer underfoot and lasts longer.
Concrete Surfaces We Clean
Concrete isn’t one surface. A stamped patio and a warehouse tilt panel need completely different handling.
Vertical tilt panel
Warehouse and industrial walls streak badly if cleaned with a wand. Large vertical spans need consistent pressure across the whole panel or the finish shows every pass.
Exposed aggregate
The texture traps grime in every gap between stones. Needs the right pressure and angle to clear it without dislodging the aggregate itself.
Stamped concrete
The pattern is a coating over concrete, and too much pressure lifts it. We treat rather than blast, so the stamp and its colour survive the clean.
Plain & brushed
The most common and the most forgiving — but also the surface where wand marks show most. Rotary cleaning gives an even finish with no stripes.
Coloured concrete
Oxide colour fades under aggressive cleaning, and once it’s patchy it stays patchy. Lower pressure and the right chemistry keep the colour intact.
Oil-stained concrete
Oil soaks in rather than sitting on top, which is why hosing does nothing. A degreaser left to work pulls it out of the pores.
Residential and Commercial Concrete
A patio through to a warehouse floor — same principle, different equipment.
Residential
Driveways, patios, paths, pool surrounds and garage floors — plain, brushed, exposed aggregate, stamped or coloured. We identify the finish before choosing pressure, so the clean doesn’t cost you the colour or the pattern. Fixed price confirmed before we start.
Commercial
Warehouse floors, tilt panel walls, car parks, loading bays and forecourts. Slippery concrete is a liability before it’s a presentation problem, so we work to a documented scope with SWMS, $20M public liability and a completion report. After-hours scheduling and multiple sites under one agreement.
Trusted By Leading Melbourne Businesses
We clean for schools, strata groups, retail chains and facilities managers right across Melbourne.
Why choose Exterior Clean Melbourne for concrete cleaning
Rotary cleaning — no zebra stripes
A pressure wand leaves overlapping arcs across flat concrete, and once they’re there they show forever. Our rotary surface cleaners cover the area evenly, so the finish is consistent end to end.
Oil and grease actually lifted out
Oil soaks into concrete rather than sitting on it, so pressure alone only takes the top layer. We apply a degreaser and give it time to work, pulling the stain out of the pores.
Safer underfoot, not just cleaner
Mould and algae make concrete genuinely slippery. Removing the growth rather than just the discolouration is what reduces the slip risk — and slows the cracking it causes.
Eco-friendly cleaning agents
Our chemicals are safe for your property and the environment, so nothing harmful ends up in the garden beds or the stormwater drains.
Insured and professionally trained
Exterior Clean Melbourne carries $20M public liability cover and our teams are police-checked and professionally trained. Documentation available on request.
200% satisfaction guarantee

Three Concrete Cleaning Methods
Most jobs use a combination. Which we lead with depends on the finish and what’s staining it.
Pressure washing
High-pressure water streams to remove dirt, grime, oil and other contaminants. Our machines reach the toughest stains, with pressure set to the concrete finish.
Chemical cleaning
Specialised chemicals that break down and remove stains, oil and contaminants. Eco-friendly agents that are safe for your property and the environment.
Rotary surface cleaning
Rotary cleaners with high-pressure jets and rotating brushes cover large areas like driveways and patios quickly — and evenly, which is what avoids wand marks.
How Our Concrete Cleaning Works
Match the method to the finish, treat the stain, work it evenly.
Assessment and fixed quote
We assess the concrete finish, area, condition and what’s staining it, then lock in a fixed price before we start.
Method matched to the finish
Plain and brushed concrete take rotary cleaning well. Stamped and coloured need lower pressure and more chemistry. We test an out-of-the-way patch first.
Pre-treatment where needed
Oil and grease get a degreaser, moss and algae get a targeted treatment, and both are left to work before the water goes on.
Rotary clean, worked evenly
Rotary surface cleaners cover the area in consistent overlapping passes, so there are no arc marks or missed patches left behind.
Final rinse and photos
We rinse surrounding paths and garden edges, then walk the job with you or send before-and-after photos.

Concrete Cleaning Pricing
Concrete cleaning is priced by area, so the size of the surface is the starting point — then the finish, condition and how heavily it’s stained adjust it from there.
A minimum charge of $350 applies. Prices are a guide only. Commercial sites are quoted individually after a site assessment.

Concrete cleaning FAQs
Can you remove oil stains from concrete?
Usually, yes. Oil soaks into concrete rather than sitting on it, so pressure alone only lifts the top layer. We apply a degreaser and give it time to work, which pulls the stain out of the pores. Very old or deeply set stains may lighten rather than disappear entirely — we’ll tell you honestly what to expect before we start.
Will pressure cleaning damage my concrete?
Not with the right approach. Plain and brushed concrete handle rotary cleaning well. Stamped and coloured concrete need lower pressure and more chemistry, because too much force lifts the coating or fades the oxide. We test an out-of-the-way patch before committing to the whole area.
What concrete finishes do you clean?
Plain and brushed, exposed aggregate, stamped, coloured concrete, and vertical tilt panel. If you’re unsure what you have, upload a photo in the quote tool and we’ll confirm.
Why does cleaned concrete sometimes look striped?
Because it was cleaned with a pressure wand rather than a rotary surface cleaner. A wand leaves overlapping arcs, and on flat concrete those marks are permanent until the whole surface is redone. We use rotary cleaners on flat areas so the finish is even.
Is dirty concrete really a safety issue?
Yes. Mould, moss and algae make a surface genuinely slippery, which is a real slip-and-fall risk — and a liability one on commercial sites. That growth also holds moisture against the concrete, which contributes to cracking over time.
How often should concrete be cleaned?
Annually suits most Melbourne properties. More often for shaded areas, high foot traffic, or anywhere exposed to oil — and regular cleaning costs less per visit than leaving years of build-up for one deep clean.
Do you use environmentally friendly products?
Yes. Our cleaning agents are safe for your property and the environment, so nothing harmful ends up in garden beds or stormwater drains.
Do I need to be on site?
Not if we have safe access and a water source. We’ll confirm access details when you book and send through before-and-after photos when we’re done.
Are you insured?
Yes — Exterior Clean Melbourne carries full public liability cover and our teams are police-checked and professionally trained. Documentation available on request.
Do you service multiple sites or ongoing contracts?
We do. We hold regular contracts with strata groups, facilities managers, and NDIS and aged care providers across Melbourne — scheduled maintenance rather than one-off cleans.
How do I get a quote?
Upload a few photos of your concrete through our instant quote tool and you’ll have a price in minutes. Or call us on (03) 7047 5789 and we’ll sort it out directly.
