A fresh sealant not only gives your driveway a polished appearance, but also protects it from weathering, cracks, and stains. To keep your driveway looking good all summer, you’ll need to take a couple steps:
- Clean It Regularly: Regular cleaning helps to prevent debris from building up which can cause wear and tear. Sweeping your driveway can help to remove debris that traps moisture. If moisture is trapped over time, it may weaken the sealant over time.
- Practice Smart Parking: Sharp objects like bike stands and furniture legs can dent or pierce your driveway’s sealed surface. When parking or storing items, use protective pads to distribute weight more evenly.
- Protect Against Oil Stains: Oil and grease stains can affect the protective layer of your driveway. Placing drip pans under vehicles that might leak oil can help to prevent oil from getting on your driveway. If a spill happens to occur on your driveway, it’s important that you clean it up as soon as possible.
