Stain SeverityMore severe stains require advanced techniques and chemicals
LocationAccessibility and height can add to labor and safety measures
Surface ConditionDamaged or porous surfaces may need additional prep or repairs

The cost of concrete cleaning typically ranges from $0.15 to $0.50 per square foot, depending on the factors outlined above. For a standard driveway of 600 square feet, expect to pay between $90 and $300. Additional services such as stain removal or sealing can add to the total expense, so a detailed quote based on site inspection is recommended.

Complex stains like oil or grease require specialized chemical treatments, which can increase costs by 20-50%. Regular maintenance cleaning, on the other hand, tends to be more affordable and can prolong the lifespan of your concrete surfaces. Proper preparation and choosing the right cleaning method ensure optimal results and cost efficiency.
