When One Clean Driveway Leads to Another: Sidewalk Cleaning in Stephens City, VA

At Pristine Window Cleaning, nothing makes us happier than when our work speaks for itself — literally! That’s what happened during this recent project in Stephens City, Virginia. While we were pressure washing a customer’s driveway, their neighbor noticed how incredible it looked and immediately asked if we could clean their concrete sidewalk as well.

The Challenge: Dirty, Stained, and Slippery Concrete

The sidewalk had built-up dirt, grime, and organic growth, which not only looked bad but also made the surface slick when wet. Like most concrete, it was porous and held onto stains tightly, meaning a quick rinse wasn’t enough — it needed a proper professional treatment.

Our Process: The Same Care, Every Time

Because sidewalks require the same attention to detail as driveways, we followed our proven five-step process:

Plant protection – Pre-rinsing surrounding grass and landscaping to prevent damage.

Algicide application – Applying a high-strength algicide with our soft wash system to break down stubborn dirt, mold, and mildew.

Dwell time – Letting the solution sit for 15 minutes so it could penetrate deep into the concrete’s pores.

Surface cleaning – Using our professional 20” surface cleaner, we carefully cleaned section by section for a perfectly even finish.

Final rinse – Giving the entire area a heavy rinse to flush away loosened dirt and ensure no residue was left behind.

The Result: A Neighbor’s Sidewalk Restored

By the time we finished, the concrete sidewalk looked bright, fresh, and safe to walk on. The neighbor was thrilled with the results and happy they didn’t have to deal with a slippery, stained walkway anymore.

This project was also a great reminder of why we do what we do — a clean home exterior doesn’t just improve curb appeal, it catches the eye of neighbors too! One project often leads to another because people see firsthand the difference professional cleaning makes.
