You should avoid pressure washing newly poured concrete until it has fully cured, which typically takes a minimum of twenty-eight to thirty days. Fresh concrete has not reached its maximum compressive strength and remains relatively soft; subjecting it to high-pressure water streams can pit, etch, erode the surface cream, and cause permanent structural damage. Always allow fresh concrete adequate curing time before applying any high-pressure washing or heavy chemical treatments.
