Resin driveway cleaning
Resin driveway cleaning removes dirt, moss, algae and organic staining from a resin bound surface using a rotary surface cleaner at a moderate pressure, followed where needed by a biocide treatment. The aim is to clean the pores without damaging the resin.

How resin driveway cleaning works
Resin bound is low maintenance, not no maintenance. Leaves, tree sap and shade let algae grow in the pores, which makes the surface darker and slippery and slows drainage.
Too much pressure, or a narrow lance held close, can loosen stones. A rotary cleaner spreads the pressure evenly, and a biocide slows regrowth on shaded areas.

Resin driveway cleaning: common questions
How often should a resin driveway be cleaned?
A sweep every few weeks and a wash once or twice a year is enough for most drives. Shaded drives under trees may need more.
