Pressure cleaning a wood, brick or concrete patio isn’t as simple as many homeowners think. Residential garden hoses do not effectively wash away grime, dirt and mud that settles into the pits and pores of typical patio materials. Cleaning a home’s patio with a pressure washer can also cause chipped paint, a damaged lawn or garden and dirty water splattered onto your home’s exterior! Patio cleaning is best suited for a professional home exterior cleaning service in Whittier.
Our patio cleaning process begins with the application of a strong but safe solvent that removes deep dirt and debris. Your brick, concrete or wood patio, can then be gently rinsed, with low water pressure and without harming your lawn or landscaping or creating a mess.
For wood patio cleaning in Whittier, we use the same professional equipment to power wash patios that we use home, but we use a different system. “Softwashing” is a lot like standard power washing but the water pressure is kept much lower. This is important to preserve the paint, stains and finishes on the wood. Soft washing a patio also keep the wood from splintering which can lead to structural problems. We have the knowledge and experience to determine the exact pressure needed. If the patio has considerable damage then we will utilize the lowest water pressure needed to get the job done safely.
Brick patios are typically 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 pressure washer.
Our Whittier brick patio cleaning procedure begins with solvents that can easily reach those unseen areas of dirt and grime, dissolving the thickest mud and ground-in debris. These solutions will dissolve moss, mold and algae that might be growing in cracks and crevices! We then use special brushes for deep cleaning brick patios, to wash off all the heavy and unsightly dirt and debris.
Pressure cleaning a concrete patio does more than make the space look nicer. Organic dirt, dust, grime and other debris that gets trapped in the cracks and crevices of concrete can get blown into the lawn and ruin its appearance too. Cleaning a concrete patio can also remove moss and mildew, mold and algae. When this debris becomes damp, it becomes slick and very slippery, creating a hazard for anyone that’s walking on the concrete patio!
Do not rely on a garden hose or DIY online videos that attempt to show you how to clean a patio, but instead leave this work to the professionals. Whittier Pressure Washing has several years of hands-on experience in patio cleaning in Whittier and the surrounding areas, and our professional soft wash systems and specialty brushes will ensure all areas of your patio are pristinely clean and ready for you to enjoy!
