What is your go-to pressure washing cleaner solution? I use an orbital surface cleaner. Last year I used Krud Kutter.

I tried my cheap old electric pressure washer with a 14" surface cleaner .Won't work with a 15" as it's not powerful enough.
Worked great and got rid of the gas one.
So for anyone wondering if they can use an electric one,yes you can,just use a 14".

Now onto your question,I always do a pre and after treatment of pool chlorine.
Dilution is 1 quart of chlorine per gallon of water.

No other cleaners required.
And no ugly stripes up and down the driveway.

Liquid chlorine, like you get for your pool or hot tub.

Ill be attempting this soon. Do you apply the water/chlorine mix with a pump sprayer then use the surface cleaner?

Yep.
Spray a section,then pressure wash .
When finished i spray again.
Not sure if that is overkill or if spraying before or after is best.
It works so I just stick with doing twice.


And throw down some water on the grass before spraying to protect from chemical burn

You are cleaning your concrete driveway. It is not a cement driveway. Cement is an ingredient in concrete. Your driveway is made of concrete. Sorry - can't help myself.

Our concrete driveway is in a heavily wooded lot. At least for us, pressure washing doesn't last or do as good a job compared to spraying Wet-N-Forget once a year. I spray Wet-N-Forget everywhere mildew, mold, algae, moss is a problem. It keeps the house, driveway, our deck, courtyard, lawn furniture, etc. looking new. It's expensive, but easy. I use a battery operated 2 gallon Scotts Professional sprayer to make it easy to apply. I'm not saying this is superior to pressure washing, but it's a good alternative that works well for us in a very shaded lot.
