FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Can I pressure wash a patio?
You can pressure wash some patios, but only if you proceed with caution. If you use the wrong nozzle or set the pressure too high, visible damage can be caused. From pitting to lines to degrading the surface, many are surprised to see how damaging pressure washes can be on a patio. Plus, if your patio is made up of paving stones held together with mortar, a pressure wash can completely disperse the joint sand and the mortar altogether.
Should I pressure wash my patio?
You should only pressure wash a patio if you have a firm understanding of how your equipment works and how your patio should be maintained. If you use the wrong nozzle or set the pressure too high, visible damage can be caused. From pitting to lines to degrading the surface, many are surprised to see how damaging pressure washes can be on a patio. Plus, if your patio is made up of paving stones held together with mortar, a pressure wash can completely disperse the joint sand and the mortar altogether.
What is the difference between soft washing and power washing?
Power washing refers to the highly-pressured system of spraying water from a pressure washer. This method of cleaning can damage the surfaces of your fencing, decks, patio, & more. Soft washing is the gentler and more sanitary process of cleaning surfaces. Soft washing solution is sprayed at a much lighter psi than traditional pressure washes, and the cleaning solution used instead of plain water allows for a more dynamic cleansing experience that rids surfaces of bacteria that causes discoloration.
How frequently do you need to clean a patio?
To keep your patio looking its best, it should be cleaned at least once a year. You may want to consider additional cleanings if your patio gets a lot of foot traffic, is located near/underneath trees, or sustains weather-related damage (dirt, mold). If you choose to work with a maintenance provider for this task, be sure that they use a soft washing technique. Frequent pressure washes can damage some patios, and soft washing targets the bacteria and mold that causes the most noticeable issues of discoloration and dirt.

Why should you hire a professional to clean a patio?
Professionals understand all of the different aspects of your patio. An expert will craft a cleaning strategy based on the appearance of your patio (color, texture), the presence of grout or mortar, and any joint sand between paving stones. These factors will dictate the recommended Psi for the pressure wash, the temperature of the water, and the need for a soft wash solution. This can all go over some DIYers heads. Plus, some homeowners prefer to get all of their outdoor cleanings out of the way – like fence, deck, and siding, so having a professional take care of it a no-brainer!
