How to deal with run-off "clean streaks" on tarmac?
A light power washing can sometimes help remedy the situation.
Another remedial approach, as a last resort, can be to treat the entire tarmac area with Lightning Cleanze at 10:1 and hope the colouring evens out and disguises the streaks.
Quick tip: Your customer may or may not like the change in colouring of their tarmac. So always treat a small test area and get their agreement that the effect is acceptable to them before continuing.
The ultimate solution is "prevention rather than cure".
- Protect the tarmac where it's likely to receive run-off by copiously pre, during and post drenching the tarmac with fresh water (same way you protect lawns and plants).
- And if run-off is likely to be very heavy, or your customer is particularly sensitive, cover the tarmac with a tarpaulin after pre-drenching. Then post drench after removing the tarpaulin.
We hope this information is helpful and sincerely wish you great success in your soft washing business,
