Pressure washing a patio isn’t as simple as most homeowners assume. Low-pressure garden hoses cannot adequately wash away grime, dirt and mud that falls into the pits and pores of typical patio materials. Cleaning a patio with a pressure washer can also lead to chipped patio paint, a damaged lawn and muddy water splashed onto your home’s exterior! Patio cleaning is best suited for a professional home exterior cleaning service in Kent.
Our patio cleaning process starts with the application of a powerful but safe solvent that breaks down deep dirt and grime. Your brick, concrete or wood patio, can then be gently rinsed, with low water pressure and without damage to your lawn or landscaping or creating a mess.
For wood patio cleaning in Kent, we use the exact same professional equipment to power wash patios that we use home exterior, but we use a different technique. “Softwashing” is a lot like regular power washing but the water pressure is kept considerably lower. This is vital to preserve the paint, stains and finishes on the wood. Soft washing also helps to keep the wood from splintering which will lead to structural problems. We have knowledge and experience to determine the exact pressure needed. If the patio has considerable damage then we will use the lowest pressure needed to get the job done safely.
Brick patios are usually more difficult to pressure clean than wood or concrete. Brick patio tiles all have raised, textured areas along their surface. These areas make successful brick patio cleaning challenging, even when using a pressure washer.
Our Kent brick patio cleaning service begins with specialty solvents that easily reach hidden areas of dirt and grime, dissolving the thickest mud and ground-in debris. These solvents will eliminate moss, mold and algae that might be growing in those cracks and crevices! We then use special brushes for deep cleaning brick patios, to push off all the heavy and unsightly dirt and debris.
Pressure cleaning a concrete patio does more than make the space look better. Organic dirt, dust, grime and other debris that gets caught in the cracks and crevices of concrete will 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 gets damp, it becomes very slick and slippery, creating a hazard for anyone walking on the concrete patio!
Do not rely on a garden hose or DIY online videos that try to show you how to safely clean a patio, but leave this work to the professionals. Kent Pressure Washing has years of hands-on experience in patio cleaning in Kent and the surrounding areas, and our soft wash systems and specialty brushes will guarantee all areas of your home’s patio are immaculately clean and are ready for you and your family to enjoy!
