Why this matters for Melbourne properties
This Driveway Cleaning article is written for Melbourne owners and managers who need more than a quick blast. Driveway Cleaning jobs in our city require a surface diagnosis before any cleaning starts.
In Melbourne, everything from growth corridor new-build mortar smear to inner-suburb heritage brick has its own cleaning risk profile. The right method, chemistry and pressure keep the surface safe and the result lasting.
Poultice = absorption
A paste of inert clay + solvent sits on the stain, drying as it pulls oil up out of the pores.
Time + heat help
12–24 hour dwell gives best results. Dark concrete in summer accelerates drawing.
Repeat for old stains
Stains older than a year often need 2–3 poultice cycles to lift fully.
