Professional driveway cleaning across Melbourne
Your driveway is the first thing anyone sees, and the last thing anyone cleans. Oil drips soak into the surface rather than sitting on it, moss builds up in the shaded strip along the fence, and the whole thing greys off so gradually you stop seeing it — until a cleaned section sits next to an uncleaned one.
We’ve cleaned driveways on hundreds of Melbourne properties since 2015 — concrete, exposed aggregate, brick, asphalt, bluestone and granite. The method is matched to the surface: pressure, chemical treatment, steam or mechanical scrubbing, and usually a combination.
Driveway Surfaces We Clean
Every material takes a different approach. Getting that wrong is how driveways end up scarred, striped or stripped.
Concrete
The most common Melbourne driveway and the one that shows oil worst, because it soaks straight in. Responds well to pressure paired with a degreaser.
Exposed aggregate
The textured surface traps grime in every gap, so it needs the right pressure and angle to clear without dislodging stones.
Brick & pavers
Grime sits in the joints as much as on the surface. Too much pressure blows out the sand, so technique matters more than force here.
Asphalt
Softer than it looks and easily scarred by an aggressive wand. Chemical treatment does most of the work on asphalt, not pressure.
Bluestone
A Melbourne classic and porous, so stains sink in. Needs treating rather than blasting, or you lift the surface finish.
Granite & natural stone
Hard-wearing but the finish scars permanently if the pressure is wrong. We test an out-of-the-way patch first, every time.
Residential and Commercial Driveways
A single home driveway through to a full car park — same principle, different scale.
Residential
Driveways, crossovers, paths and the strip along the fence line where the moss always is. We match the method to your surface, treat oil stains rather than just rinsing them, and confirm a fixed price before we start.
Commercial
Car parks, forecourts, loading bays and shared strata driveways. Oil build-up and moss are slip hazards before they’re a presentation problem, so we work to a documented scope with SWMS, $20M public liability and a completion report. After-hours scheduling available, invoiced against purchase orders.

Why choose Exterior Clean Melbourne for driveway cleaning
Four methods, matched to your surface
Pressure washing, chemical cleaning, steam cleaning and mechanical scrubbing. Most driveways need a combination — and the right one depends on the material and what’s staining it.
Oil and grease actually lifted out
Oil soaks into the surface, 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 rather than fading it.
Environmentally friendly products
Our cleaning products deliver the result without harming your garden beds, lawn or the drains everything runs into.
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
Not happy with the result? We’ll come back and make it right. Still not satisfied? We’ll offer up to a full refund. That’s how confident we are in the work.
Local Melbourne team since 2015
Bluestone, exposed aggregate, old concrete — we know Melbourne’s driveway surfaces and how each one behaves. Local experience that shows in the result.
How our driveway cleaning works
Match the method, treat the stain, work it properly — on every surface.
Assessment and fixed quote
We assess the surface, size, condition and what’s staining it, then lock in a fixed price before we start. No surprises on the day.
Method selection
Pressure washing, chemical cleaning, steam or mechanical scrubbing — chosen for your material. We test an out-of-the-way patch before committing to the whole driveway.
Pre-treatment where needed
Oil and grease get a degreaser, organic growth gets a targeted treatment, and both are left to work before the water goes on. That’s what lifts a stain rather than fading it.
Clean, worked methodically
Overlapping passes at a controlled distance so the finish is even — no stripe marks, no missed patches where the wand moved too fast.
Final rinse and photos
We rinse surrounding paths and garden edges so nothing is left sitting where it shouldn’t be, then walk the job with you or send before-and-after photos.

Driveway Cleaning Pricing
Driveway cleaning is priced by area, so the size of the surface is the starting point — then material, condition and how heavily it’s stained adjust it from there.
A minimum charge of $350 applies. Prices are a guide only and depend on surface type, size and condition. Your exact price is confirmed via the instant quote.
Four Ways We Clean a Driveway
Most driveways need a combination rather than just one. Which we use depends on the material and what’s actually staining it — and choosing correctly is what separates a clean driveway from a damaged one.
Pressure washing
High-pressure water for stubborn stains, dirt and grime. Fast and immediate on hard surfaces like concrete and brick.
Chemical cleaning
Environmentally safe solutions that break down what pressure alone won’t shift — oil, grease and organic staining. Essential on asphalt and bluestone.
Steam cleaning
High-temperature steam lifts ground-in grime without the force, which suits surfaces that can’t take a high-pressure wand.
Mechanical scrubbing
For heavily soiled driveways, scrubbers agitate the surface directly. It’s the most effective option on years of build-up.

Driveway cleaning FAQs
Can you remove oil stains from my driveway?
Usually, yes. Oil soaks into the surface 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.
What driveway surfaces can you clean?
Concrete, exposed aggregate, brick and pavers, asphalt, bluestone, granite and most other common Melbourne driveway materials. Each one takes a different method. If you’re unsure, upload a photo in the quote tool and we’ll confirm.
Will pressure cleaning damage my driveway?
Not with the right approach. Blanket high pressure is what causes damage — it scars asphalt, blows sand out of paver joints and can lift the finish on bluestone. We match the pressure and method to the material and test an out-of-the-way patch before committing.
How often should I clean my driveway?
Annually suits most Melbourne driveways. More often if yours is shaded, under trees, or takes heavy vehicle traffic — and regular cleaning works out cheaper per visit than leaving years of build-up for one deep clean.
Do you use environmentally friendly products?
Yes. Our cleaning products deliver the result without harming your garden beds, lawn or the stormwater drains everything runs into.
Do I need to be home?
Not if we have safe access and a water source. We’ll confirm access details when you book, complete the work, 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. If you need documentation for insurance or strata purposes, just ask.
Do you provide SWMS and insurance documentation?
Yes. Every commercial job comes with a Safe Work Method Statement, and we can supply certificates of currency for our $20M public liability and WorkCover on request.
Can you work after hours or on weekends?
Yes. Car parks and commercial forecourts are usually best done outside trading hours, and we schedule around that regularly.
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?
