If your Nashville Stamped Concrete was sealed then it was most likely done with multiple coats of a sealer containing a high percentage of solids, and is a UV resistant, penetrating solvent-based sealer. The sealer's main job is to help cure, seal, and dust proof your exterior concrete surface. It will repel dust, dirt, and other matters that encourage the growth of mold and mildew on concrete. Basic care is as shown below:

1. If you notice a white, splotchy patches on your Stamped Concrete Nashville, especially after it rains, the sealer is doing its job. This is the dirt and dust stated above. Rinsing your concrete with a water hose followed drying it with a leaf blower to remove excess water will fix this.

2. If a soft drink is spilled on your patio or something else you did not see right away, use a mild liquid soap in some warm water to loosen the material. Rinse with the water hose, then use the leaf blower and your surface will be clean again.

3. Plastic glides should be affixed to heavy patio furniture or those which will often be moved.

4. We suggest potted plants have a saucer under them to catch excess water; particularly if you use a good deal of fertilizer on your plants. In addition, we recommend that you do not use door mats with rubber backings, as the rubber tends to be absorbed by the sealer and will result in a 'stain' on your patio.

5. Your stamped concrete should be resealed from time-to-time. We recommend you reseal your patio 4 to 6 months after the initial seal. Then reseal every two or three years. How often your surface needs to be resealed depends on the amount of traffic, rain and sunlight it receives. If you notice that water does not bead up on or seems to absorb into the surface, it is time to reseal. If you wait to long, you may notice the color fade slightly. Even if the color does fade, resealing your stamped concrete will make your concrete look vibrant again.
