Pressure washing a wood, brick or concrete patio is not as simple as most homeowners think. Standard garden hoses can’t adequately wash away silt, dirt and mud that falls into the cracks and pores of typical patio materials. Cleaning a home’s patio with a pressure washer can also result in 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 Asheville.
Our soft wash patio cleaning process starts with the application of a strong but safe solvent that eliminates embedded dirt and debris. Your patio, can then be gently rinsed, with low water pressure and without harming your lawn or landscaping or creating a mess on your property.
For wood patio cleaning in Asheville, we use the same equipment to power wash patios that we use on a home exterior, but we use a different process. “Softwashing” is a lot like power washing except the pressure is kept much lower. This is necessary to preserve the paint, stains and finishes on the wood. Soft washing also keep the wood from splintering which will cause structural issues. We have the knowledge and experience to determine the exact pressure needed for the patio. If the patio has considerable damage then we will use the lowest water pressure necessary to get the job done right.
Brick patios are usually more difficult to clean than wood or concrete. Brick patio stones have raised, textured areas along their surface. These sections make brick patio cleaning challenging, even if using a professional pressure washer.
Our Asheville brick patio cleaning process starts with specialty solvents that can easily reach those deep areas of dirt and dust, dissolving the toughest mud and ground-in debris. These solvents will dissolve moss, mold and algae that might be growing in cracks and crevices! We then use our special brushes for cleaning brick patios, to push away all the thick and unsightly grit and grime.
Pressure cleaning a concrete patio does more than make the patio look better. Organic dirt, dust, silt and other such debris that gets trapped in the cracks and crevices of concrete might get blown into the lawn and ruin its appearance. Cleaning a concrete patio can also remove moss and mildew, mold and algae. When this debris gets damp or wet, it becomes slick and slippery, creating a hazard for anyone that is walking around the patio!
Don’t count on a garden hose or DIY videos that attempt to show you how to clean a patio, but instead leave this work to the professionals. Asheville Pressure Washing has several years of experience in patio cleaning in Asheville and the neighboring areas, and our professional soft wash systems and specialty brushes guarantee all areas of your patio are immaculately clean and are ready for you to enjoy!
