Pressure washing a patio isn’t as simple as many homeowners assume. Standard garden hoses can’t adequately wash away grime, dirt and mud that falls into the cracks and pores of patio materials. Cleaning a home’s patio with a pressure washer can also cause chipped paint, a damaged lawn or garden and muddy water splashed onto your home’s exterior! Patio cleaning is best suited for a professional home exterior cleaning company in San Leandro.
Our soft wash patio cleaning process begins with the application of a strong but safe solvent that breaks down ground-in dirt and grime. Your brick, concrete or wood patio, can then be rinsed gently, with low water pressure and without harming your lawn or landscaping or creating a mess on your property.
For wood patio cleaning in San Leandro, we use the exact same professional equipment to power wash patios that we use on a home, but we use a different process. “Softwashing” is like standard power washing except the pressure is considerably lower. This is important to preserve the paint, stains and finishes. Soft washing also helps to keep the wood from splintering which will lead to structural issues. We have the knowledge and years of experience to determine the exact pressure needed. If the patio has noticeable damage then we will use the lowest pressure necessary to get the job done right.
Brick patios are usually much harder to clean than wood or concrete. Brick patio tiles have raised, textured areas along their surface. These areas make effective brick patio cleaning challenging, even if using a professional pressure washer.
Our San Leandro brick patio cleaning process begins with specialty solvents that can easily reach deep areas of dirt and dust, dissolving the thickest mud and ground-in debris. These solvents will remove moss, mold and algae that is growing in between those cracks and crevices! We then use special brushes for cleaning brick patios, to wash off all the heavy and unsightly dirt and grime.
Pressure cleaning a concrete patio does more than make the patio look nicer. Dirt, dust, grime and other debris that gets stuck in the cracks and crevices of concrete will get blown into the lawn and ruin its appearance. Cleaning a concrete patio can also remove moss, mold and algae. When this type of debris gets damp, it becomes very slick and very slippery, and creates a hazard for anyone walking on the concrete patio!
Don’t 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. San Leandro Pressure Washing has years of experience in patio cleaning in San Leandro and the neighboring communities, and our soft wash systems and brushes ensure all areas of your home’s patio are spotlessly clean and are ready for you and your family to enjoy!
