Barrel Tile cleaning

[Rance]

I have been asked for a quote to clean this building including the side walks. Don't know when it was cleaned last if ever. I'm guessing if the tiles are cleaned that will prevent further staining of the building and side walks. Strong house wash mix do the job ? I've never cleaned barrel tiles but I know they are common in other areas of the country but not around here. Thanks for any and all input.

Bump!

Cleaning the tiles may help the concrete but not a whole lot. Depending on how dirty the tiles are, use a strong roof mix. Like 30-50%.. those look pretty clean so I'd start at 30% and then bump up if you have to.

Well... he's already 'bumped' it once and if he waits a few years Ron will bump it again. LOL (I couldn't resist)

So it's common to have discoloration on concrete from water run off of these types of roofs?

yes . you will also get some running off when you clean it

For cleaning barrel tiles and sidewalks, a strong house wash mix can work, but you should use a gentle cleaner on the tiles to avoid damage. Mix a mild detergent or oxygen bleach with water, and apply it with low pressure (1200-1500 PSI). For the sidewalks, a stronger mix with bleach or concrete cleaner is fine, but make sure to rinse thoroughly. If you're unsure or need professional help, ProCare Carpet & Tile Cleaning can handle the job with the right products and techniques. After cleaning, consider applying a sealer to protect the tiles and prevent future staining.

Use a soft wash with a strong house wash mix for the barrel tiles and a stronger cleaning method for the sidewalks. Avoid high-pressure washing on the tiles to prevent damage. Cleaning and sealing afterward will help prevent future staining.
