Pressure washing a wood, brick or concrete patio isn’t as simple as most homeowners assume. Residential garden hoses do not effectively wash away silt, dirt and mud that settles into the cracks and pores of patio materials. Cleaning a home’s patio with a pressure washer can also result in chipped patio paint, a damaged lawn or garden and muddy water splattered onto your home’s exterior! Patio cleaning is better left for a professional home exterior cleaning company in Pasadena.
Our patio cleaning process starts with the application of a strong but safe detergent that removes deep dirt and grime. Your patio, can then be gently rinsed, with low water pressure and without damage to your lawn or landscaping or creating a mess on your property.
For wood patio cleaning in Pasadena, we use the same equipment to power wash patios that we use on a home, but we use a different system. “Softwashing” is a lot like standard power washing but the pressure is 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 issues. We have knowledge and experience to determine the exact pressure needed for the patio. If the patio has visible damage then we will use the absolute lowest pressure necessary to get the job done right.
Brick patios are often more difficult to clean than wood or concrete. Brick patio stones all have raised, textured areas along the top of their surface. These sections make successful brick patio cleaning challenging, even if using a pressure washer.
Our Pasadena brick patio cleaning service begins with solvents that easily reach those deep areas of dirt and grime, dissolving even the toughest mud and ground-in debris. These solvents will remove moss, mold and algae that is growing in those cracks and crevices! We then use our special brushes for deep cleaning brick patios, to wash off all the thick and unsightly dirt and grime.
Pressure washing a concrete patio does much more than make the space look nicer. 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 as well. Cleaning a concrete patio can also remove moss and mildew, mold and algae. When this type of debris becomes damp or wet, it becomes very slick and very slippery, and creates a hazard for anyone walking on the patio!
Do not count on a garden hose or DIY videos that promise to show you how to clean a patio, but leave this job to the professionals. Pasadena Pressure Washing has several years of hands-on experience in patio cleaning in Pasadena and the neighboring communities, and our soft wash techniques and brushes ensure all areas of your home’s patio are spotlessly clean and ready for you and your family to enjoy!
