Pressure cleaning a patio is not as easy as a lot of homeowners think. Low-pressure garden hoses can’t effectively 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 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 Fort Lauderdale.
Our soft wash patio cleaning service starts with the application of a strong but safe solvent that eliminates deep dirt and debris. Your brick, concrete or wood patio, can then be rinsed gently, with low water pressure and without damage to your landscaping or lawn or creating a mess.
For wood patio cleaning in Fort Lauderdale, we use the same professional equipment to power wash patios that we use on a home, but we use a different technique. “Softwashing” is like power washing except 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 helps to keep the wood from splintering which can cause structural problems. We have the knowledge and experience to utilize the exact pressure needed for the patio. 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 stones have raised, textured areas along their surface. These areas make effective brick patio cleaning challenging, even if using a pressure washer.
Our Fort Lauderdale brick patio cleaning service starts with specialty solvents that can easily reach those deep areas of dirt and grime, dissolving even the toughest mud and ground-in debris. These detergents will dissolve moss, mold and algae that might be growing in cracks and crevices! We then use 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, grime and other debris that gets stuck 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, mold and algae. When this debris becomes damp, it becomes slick and very slippery, and creates a hazard for anyone that is walking around the patio!
Don’t count on a garden hose or DIY videos that promise to show homeowners how to clean a patio, but instead leave this job to the professionals. Fort Lauderdale Pressure Washing has years of hands-on experience in patio cleaning in Fort Lauderdale and the surrounding areas, and our soft wash techniques and brushes guarantee all areas of your patio are spotlessly clean and ready for you and your family to enjoy!
