Pressure washing a patio isn’t as simple as a lot of homeowners assume. Residential garden hoses can’t adequately wash away silt, dirt and mud that falls into the cracks and pores of patio materials. Cleaning a patio with a pressure washer can also result in chipped patio paint, a damaged lawn and dirty water splattered onto your home’s exterior! Patio cleaning is best suited for a professional home exterior cleaning service in Charleston.
Our patio cleaning process begins with the application of a powerful but gentle detergent that dissolves ground-in dirt and debris. Your patio, can then be rinsed gently, with low water pressure and without damage to your landscaping or lawn or creating a mess on your property.
For wood patio cleaning in Charleston, we use the exact same equipment to power wash patios that we use home exterior, but we use a different technique. “Softwashing” is like power washing but the water pressure is kept much lower. This is necessary to preserve the paint, stains and finishes. Soft washing a patio also keep the wood from splintering which will cause structural issues. We have the knowledge and experience to utilize the exact pressure needed. If the patio has noticeable damage then we will use the lowest pressure needed to get the job done right.
Brick patios are typically more difficult to pressure clean than wood or concrete. Brick patio tiles all have raised, textured areas along the top of their surface. These sections make effective brick patio cleaning challenging, even if using a pressure washer.
Our Charleston brick patio cleaning process begins with solvents that can easily reach unseen areas of dirt and dust, dissolving even the toughest mud and ground-in debris. These solvents will remove moss, mold and algae that might be growing in cracks and crevices! We then use special brushes for cleaning brick patios, to wash off all the thick and unsightly grit and grime.
Pressure washing a concrete patio does more than make the space look better. Dirt, dust, grime and other such debris that gets trapped in the cracks and crevices of concrete will eventually get blown into the lawn and will then ruin its appearance. Cleaning a concrete patio can also remove moss and mildew, mold and algae. When this debris becomes damp, it becomes very slick and slippery, and creates a hazard for anyone walking on the patio!
