Professional Garage Floor Cleaning in Lexington, KY
Garage floors take a beating in Lexington. Oil and tire marks come from the cars, and Lexington crews pretreat roads with salt brine, so brine and salt follow tires into garages all winter. The apron, the strip just outside the door, freezes and thaws the most.
- Typical cost: $250 to $600 for most residential concrete surfaces
- Method: pretreatment, hot water on heavy oil and grease, and a surface cleaner
- How often: every 12 to 18 months for most Lexington garages
- Guarantee: 30 days, and we re-clean the area free if buildup returns
Why Winter Is Hard on Garage Floors in Lexington
Salt makes freezing damage worse. A study in the National Institutes of Health library found that salt solution significantly worsened the damage freeze-thaw cycles do to concrete. Lexington’s January highs sit in the low 40s and the lows in the mid 20s, so most winter days cross the freezing line at least once.
The apron takes the worst of it because bare concrete soaks up brine and then freezes and thaws all winter. A late-winter or spring wash clears salt before it works deeper. Our freeze-thaw damage guide explains how that cycle cracks concrete.
Common Garage Floor Problems and How We Treat Them
Problem | How we treat it |
Oil and grease | We pretreat, then use hot water on heavy oil and grease. Older stains may need more than one pass. |
Tire marks | Pretreatment and a circular surface cleaner for an even finish. |
Road salt and brine film | Salt leaves a white film. A late-winter or spring wash clears it before it works into cracks. |
Rust from shelves, tools, or cans | See our guide on rust stain removal. |
Algae or moss on the apron | A cleaning solution breaks down the growth, then we rinse the concrete clean. |
Battery acid or chemical spills | Targeted treatment. Results depend on how long the spill has been sitting. |
How Do We Handle Oil in a Garage?
Fresh oil comes out of a garage floor far more easily than old oil. We pretreat the stain, use hot water on heavy oil and grease, and finish with a surface cleaner so the floor dries evenly. Oil that has soaked in for months or years goes deeper than a surface clean can always reach, so we tell you what to expect before we start. Our concrete staining guide explains why some stains lift and others don’t.
Our Garage Floor Cleaning Process
Floor Inspection
We start with a walk-around, checking the floor and apron for cracks, coatings, drains, and stains. Please pull your vehicles out and clear what you can from the floor.
Pretreatment
We pretreat oil, grease, and tire marks so the cleaning agents have time to break them down before the wash begins.
Hot Water and Surface Cleaning
Heavy oil and grease get hot water. A circular surface cleaner then cleans the floor and apron for an even, consistent finish.
Rinse & Walk-Through
We rinse the floor, direct the water away from storm drains where we can, and walk it with you to check the results.
