Concrete Sidewalk

---

THE PROJECT

A residential concrete sidewalk in Florida was experiencing constant organic growth and dark staining due to the region’s humidity and daily moisture exposure. The surface had never been sealed, making it more vulnerable to mold, mildew, and general dirt buildup. The homeowner needed a fast, effective, and plant-safe solution to clean and revive the appearance of the walkway. 

SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS

• Remove organic growth quickly and safely 
• Avoid harm to surrounding landscape and pets 
• Use a product that works without aggressive scrubbing or harsh chemicals 
• Restore the concrete’s natural look without discoloration 

THE STAIN-PROOF® SOLUTION 

Stain-Proof® by Dry-Treat Peroxide Cleaner was selected as the ideal solution. As a pH-balanced, oxygen-based cleaner, it lifts and breaks down organic stains safely—making it suitable around foliage, pets, and high-traffic areas. 
Cleaning Steps:

• Pre-wet the surface to help the cleaner spread evenly.
• Apply Peroxide Cleaner generously across the sidewalk.
• Allow dwell time — the active oxygen reaction begins breaking down organic matter.
• Agitate lightly if needed using a deck brush for stubborn spots.
• Rinse thoroughly with clean water to reveal a refreshed, brighter surface.
• After treatment, the sidewalk returned to a “good as new” appearance with minimal labor and no damage to surrounding landscaping.
