Summer in Windsor-Essex is all about enjoying the outdoors—hosting barbecues, relaxing on the patio, and soaking in those long sunny evenings. But if your concrete surfaces are looking dull, stained, or slippery, they can drag down the whole vibe of your backyard.
The good news? You don’t need to break the bank to refresh your space. A professional concrete washing service can breathe new life into your patio, walkways, and driveway—making them safer, cleaner, and visually stunning just in time for BBQ season.
At Certified Softwash Solutions, we specialize in eco-friendly, low-pressure exterior cleaning that’s perfect for restoring concrete without damage. Here's what you need to know.
🍔 Why Clean Concrete Matters for Outdoor Living
Your backyard patio and walkways are often the first thing your guests see when they arrive for a cookout or summer party. But over time, these surfaces accumulate:
Dirt and dust
Grease and food stains
Algae and mildew
Rust and hard water stains
BBQ residue and soot
Not only do these stains look unsightly, but they can also become slippery and hazardous, especially when wet. Regular patio cleaning not only boosts your home’s curb appeal—it also helps prevent accidents and surface erosion.

💧 Pressure Washing vs. Soft Washing for Concrete
While most concrete can handle traditional pressure washing, not all jobs require full blast. That’s why Certified Softwash Solutions offers a tailored approach that uses the right pressure and cleaning solutions for your specific surfaces.
High-pressure washing is great for driveways and heavily stained areas.
Soft washing with specialized detergents is perfect for more delicate concrete and decorative stone.
We assess the area first and choose a method that gets results without damaging sealants, joints, or surrounding landscaping.
🧼 What’s Included in Our Concrete Washing Service?
Our concrete washing packages cover a wide range of outdoor spaces, including:
Patios and decks
Pool decks
Outdoor kitchens
Walkways and pathways
Driveways
Stamped or stained concrete
We use biodegradable, eco-safe cleaning agents to eliminate deep stains and kill organic growth like algae and mold. The result? A fresh, clean surface that’s ready for hosting and entertaining.
🔥 Get BBQ-Ready with These Cleaning Tips
Even if you’re not planning a major renovation, a deep clean can completely transform your backyard. Here’s how we help homeowners prep for patio season:
1. Remove Oil & Grease Stains
BBQ areas often collect food and cooking spills. Our targeted treatments break down grease without damaging your concrete.
2. Restore Concrete Color
Algae and grime can dull the color of your surfaces. Our washing process lifts stains and brightens the natural tones.
3. Prevent Slippery Surfaces
Algae and mildew build-up can be dangerous. Our methods kill spores at the root to reduce the risk of slips and falls.
4. Protect Plants and Landscaping
All of our methods are pet- and plant-safe, meaning your flowers and garden beds stay healthy and untouched.
🧽 How Often Should You Clean Your Concrete?
In Ontario’s humid climate, we recommend professional concrete cleaning at least once a year—especially for high-traffic areas or spaces near BBQs, pools, or landscaping.
The summer season is the ideal time, thanks to warmer temps, faster drying, and increased outdoor use.
