How to Clean an Asphalt Driveway

Asphalt driveways need a different approach from concrete because the surface is softer and oil-based.

Lower pressure

Too much pressure can loosen the surface aggregate on asphalt.

Oil and fuel

Petroleum stains soften asphalt itself; clean them promptly and don't scrub aggressively.

Sealcoating

Asphalt sealcoating is a separate trade from concrete sealing. Clean first, then follow the sealcoat maker's guidance.

What to avoid

  • Concrete degreasers that can soften asphalt
  • Narrow high-pressure tips

What customers say

★★★★★

"I used First Class Pressure Cleaning to seal my aggregate driveway and they did a fantastic job. It was in rough shape as we had never sealed it before. Lots of salt damage as well from trying to de-ice the last winter storm. It looks so much better now. They even came back the next day for touch-ups on some areas where the winter salts had worn through to the concrete. Very happy with this company and the work they’ve done!"

"I completed a quote sheet online for an estimate to pressure wash my house. First- Clean Pressure Washing responded quickly. Chris called me to discussed what service I need. He looked at my house on the Internet so he was able to see clearly the size of the house. I also added my driveway to the cleaning process. I was given a quote, verbally and written, which I signed on a DocuSign. They communicated with me via text and were right on time based on the schedule provided. They had a truck that had the solution in it for cleaning my house, which I was really happy about because they didn’t use my water. My driveway was really messy and they did a very good job on my house and driveway. I felt the quote was fair and competitive. They got all of the mildew off the house. It looks great so I shouldn’t have any problem with my HOA for a couple years. Thanks so much, Chris. I really appreciate the service you provided!!!"
