Resin Cleaning

A resin drive is a type of driveway that uses a mixture of natural aggregate or recycled materials and a clear resin binder to create a smooth and durable surface. Resin driveways have become increasingly popular in recent years due to their aesthetic appeal, durability, and low maintenance requirements. Here are some key features and benefits of resin driveways:

Aesthetics: Resin driveways are available in a wide range of colors and textures, allowing homeowners to create a customized look that complements their home's style.

Durability: Resin driveways are highly durable and can withstand heavy use, such as vehicle traffic, without cracking or deteriorating.

Low maintenance: Resin driveways require minimal maintenance, as they are easy to clean and are resistant to stains, weeds, and moss.

Safety: Resin driveways provide a slip-resistant surface, which can help to reduce the risk of accidents and injuries.

Sustainability: Resin driveways can be made from recycled materials, making them an environmentally friendly option.

Resale value: A well-maintained resin driveway can increase the resale value of a home, making it a smart investment for homeowners.

Overall, a resin drive is an attractive and practical option for homeowners looking to improve the curb appeal and functionality of their driveway. 

Resin drives are relatively low maintenance, but it's important to clean them regularly to maintain their appearance and prevent the buildup of dirt and debris. Here are some steps to follow when cleaning a resin drive:

Remove debris: Sweep or use a leaf blower to remove any loose debris, such as leaves, dirt, and dust.

Pre-treat stains: If there are any oil or grease stains on the driveway, pre-treat them with a degreaser or a mixture of baking soda and water. Allow the pre-treatment to sit for several minutes to penetrate the stain.

Wash the driveway: Use a pressure washer or a garden hose to wash the driveway with a cleaning solution. You can use a commercial resin driveway cleaner or make your own using a mixture of water and a cleaning agent, such as dish soap or vinegar. Work in small sections, starting at the top of the driveway and working your way down.

Rinse the driveway: Rinse the driveway thoroughly with a hose or a pressure washer. Be sure to remove all traces of the cleaning solution to prevent slippery spots on the driveway.

Dry the driveway: Allow the driveway to air dry, or use a wet/dry vacuum to remove excess water.

It's important to avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, such as wire brushes or steel wool, as they can damage the surface of the resin. Also, be careful when using a pressure washer, as excessive pressure can cause damage to the driveway.
