Towslee's Got Pressure

Driveway, Sidewalk & Patio Cleaning (and Sealing) in Duluth, MN

A season of road salt, tire rubber, oil drips and shade-side algae leaves Duluth-area concrete grey, streaky and slick. We surface-clean driveways, sidewalks, garage floors, patios and pavers with a surface cleaner, the flat rotary tool that leaves an even finish instead of pressure-wand stripes, then offer a penetrating sealer so it stays that way.

What a surface cleaner does that a wand can’t

A pressure-washer wand leaves overlapping zebra lines and can etch the surface. A surface cleaner spins two nozzles under a hood at a fixed height, so the whole slab gets the same pressure and comes out uniform. We pre-treat oil stains, rinse everything to the street or lawn, and clean up.

Why sealing is worth it here

Concrete is a sponge. Salt brine soaks in all winter, freezes, expands and spalls the surface. A penetrating siloxane sealer stops the absorption without changing the look, so salt, oil and algae sit on top and rinse off. Best applied after a cleaning, on a dry day above 50°F. Tinted and decorative sealers are available if you want a color change.

What we clean

Driveways, sidewalks and steps, patios (poured concrete, pavers, stamped), pool decks, garage floors, commercial walks and entries, dumpster pads.

What affects the price

Square footage, stain type (oil and rust need pre-treatment), whether you add sealing, and access.

Concrete Cleaning & Sealing questions

Can oil stains be removed from my driveway?
Most oil stains respond well to a degreaser pre-treatment followed by surface cleaning. Older stains that have penetrated deeply will lighten significantly but may not disappear entirely. We assess each stain and tell you what to expect before we begin.
Is surface cleaning safe for pavers?
Yes. We use lower pressure on paver surfaces to preserve the joint sand, and we can re-sand joints as part of the service if needed.
How soon can I use a sealed driveway?
Sealed surfaces are typically ready for foot traffic within a few hours and for vehicles after 24 hours, depending on temperature and humidity. We confirm the timing on the day of service.
Do you remove rust stains?
Yes. Rust requires a dedicated rust remover rather than a general cleaner. Please mention rust staining on the quote form so we can include it in the plan.
Why should I seal my concrete?
Salt brine soaks into unsealed concrete over the winter, then freezes and expands, causing surface spalling. A penetrating sealer stops absorption without changing the appearance, so salt, oil, and algae stay on the surface and rinse away.
