Yes, you should wash concrete before painting it to ensure proper adhesion and a smooth finish. Cleaning removes dirt, grease, and any existing contaminants that could interfere with the paint's bonding. Using a pressure washer or a scrub brush with a concrete cleaner can effectively prepare the surface. Allow the concrete to dry completely before applying paint for the best results.
