Pressure washing a wood, brick or concrete patio isn’t as simple as a lot of homeowners think. Residential garden hoses do not effectively wash away silt, dirt and mud that settles into the cracks and pores of typical patio materials. Cleaning a patio with a pressure washer can also cause chipped paint, a damaged lawn and dirty water splashed onto your home’s exterior! Patio cleaning is better left for a professional home exterior cleaning service in Garland.
Our soft wash patio cleaning process starts with the application of a powerful but gentle solvent that dissolves embedded dirt and grime. Your patio, can then be gently rinsed, with low water pressure and without harming your landscaping or lawn or creating a mess on your property.
For wood patio cleaning in Garland, we use the exact same professional equipment to power wash patios as we use on a home, but we use a different system. “Softwashing” is like power washing but the pressure is kept much lower. This is important to preserve the paint, stains and finishes on the wood. Soft washing a patio also helps to keep the wood from splintering which can cause structural issues. We have knowledge and years of experience to determine the exact pressure needed. If the patio has visible damage then we will use the absolute lowest pressure necessary to get the job done without further damage.
Brick patios are usually more difficult to clean than wood or concrete. Brick patio tiles have raised, textured areas along the top of their surface. These sections make effective brick patio cleaning challenging, even if using a professional pressure washer.
Our Garland brick patio cleaning procedure begins with specialty solvents that can easily reach hidden areas of dirt and grime, dissolving even the thickest mud and ground-in debris. These detergents will dissolve moss, mold and algae that is growing in between those cracks and crevices! We then use special brushes for deep cleaning brick patios, to push away all the heavy and unsightly grit and debris.
Pressure cleaning a concrete patio does more than make the patio look cleaner. Organic dirt, dust, silt and other such debris that gets trapped in the cracks and crevices of concrete can eventually get blown into the lawn and ruin its appearance. Cleaning a concrete patio can also remove moss, mold and algae. When this type of debris gets damp or wet, it becomes slick and very slippery, creating a hazard for anyone walking around the concrete patio!
Do not count on a garden hose or DIY online videos that attempt to show you how to safely clean a patio, but leave this work to the professionals. Garland Pressure Washing has several years of experience in patio cleaning in Garland and the neighboring areas, and our professional soft wash systems and brushes will guarantee all areas of your home’s patio are spotlessly clean and ready for you and your family to enjoy!
