What to know about cleaning stamped concrete
Stamped and colored concrete is usually protected by a sealer. Washing it well is the first step before resealing, and the color and pattern look much better after both.
Avoid: High pressure that strips sealer unevenly or wears off color release on the surface.
How often: Wash yearly; reseal every 2-3 years.
