Pressure washing a wood, brick or concrete patio isn’t as easy as a lot of homeowners think. Standard garden hoses can’t effectively wash away silt, dirt and mud that settles 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 or garden and dirty water splattered onto your home’s exterior! Patio cleaning is best suited for a professional home exterior cleaning service in Hawthorne.
Our patio cleaning service begins with the application of a powerful but safe solvent that eliminates embedded dirt and debris. Your patio, can then be rinsed gently, with low water pressure and without damage to your lawn or landscaping or creating a mess on your property.
For wood patio cleaning in Hawthorne, we use the same equipment to power wash patios as we use home exterior, we use a different process. “Softwashing” is like standard power washing but the water pressure is kept much lower. This is necessary to protect the paint, stains and finishes on the wood. Soft washing a patio also keep the wood from splintering which will cause structural problems. We have the knowledge and years of experience to determine the exact pressure needed for the patio. If the patio has noticeable damage then we will use the lowest water pressure necessary to get the job done without further damage.
Brick patios are usually more difficult to pressure clean than wood or concrete. Brick patio tiles all have raised, textured areas along the top of their surface. These areas make effective brick patio cleaning challenging, even when using a professional pressure washer.
Our Hawthorne brick patio cleaning process begins with specialty solvents that easily reach hidden areas of dirt and grime, dissolving the toughest mud and ground-in debris. These detergents will remove moss, mold and algae that might be growing in between those cracks and crevices! We then use special brushes for cleaning brick patios, to push off all the heavy and unsightly grit and debris.
Pressure cleaning a concrete patio does much more than make the space look better. Dirt, dust, grime and other such debris that gets caught in the cracks and crevices of concrete might get blown into the lawn and will then ruin its appearance too. Cleaning a concrete patio can also remove moss, mold and algae. When this debris becomes damp, it becomes slick and very slippery, and creates a hazard for anyone that is walking on the concrete patio!
