Oh no! Tiger Stripes on Concrete!


Have you ever spotted driveway “Tiger Stripes”?

If you look closely, you may see these lines on your neighbor’s driveway after they either hired an inexperienced company or did the cleaning themselves. This is the sight of a poorly cleaned driveway and indicates the work was not done to standards.

What causes “Tiger Stripes”?

Most stripes are caused by a pressure washing surface cleaner not being moved at a proper pace. If used too fast, the cleaning is not consistent across the full surface area.

In other cases, it means the concrete was cleaned using a wand with an attached turbo nozzle which sprays in a circular pattern. These nozzles are typically included in electric residential pressure washing packages, such as those you would get from a big box store.

It also means the concrete likely didn’t receive a post treatment of chemicals to kill any remaining organics.
