Patio Washing

A backyard patio is a great place to enjoy nature, soak up the sun, and spend time with family and friends. Keeping the patio clean will ensure the space is healthy and safe for all people and pets to enjoy. A Brilliant Solution offers residential patio cleaning so that you can extend the entertaining space of your home. Build-up can cause your patio to be slippery or unappealing, which will put a damper on the aesthetics of any patio material. Reach out to our professionals to brighten up your space with comprehensive and professional patio cleaning.

The Process Of Patio Cleaning

When you schedule a professional patio cleaning service, they will typically utilize pressure washing to remove debris. Before pressure washing can be completed, the patio will need to be swept to remove any floating debris. Anything that can be easily removed that is done before the service will shorten the time it takes to wash your patio.

After the space is prepped (furniture is moved and leaves are swept), cleaners can then use a pressure washing machine to blast away stains and stubborn debris. Professional cleaning will use around 1,500 to 2,000 psi in order to clean the surface without causing damage. Especially when it comes to wood or composite patios, lower psi will prevent divots and cracks that can come from high pressure.

After the initial pressure wash, the team will then rinse the patio thoroughly to remove any soap residue or dirt lifted during the washing process. This will leave your patio sparkling and restore the original color of the material.

Cleaning Different Patio Materials

Since patios can be made of many different materials, there are many different cleaning methods that can be used to protect the integrity of the patio material. Different materials can handle different pressures and chemicals, which means that the cleaning methods may need to be adjusted. Here is some information about how different materials are cleaned by professionals.

Concrete

Concrete patios are some of the easiest to clean, especially because they can be pressure washed. Pressure washing with a non-toxic cleaner is the most effective way to remove stains, rust, and oil from concrete patios.

Brick

Brick is more of a porous stone that is used for home projects. Using a mild detergent is best for removing stains from brick patios. If you are going to pressure wash, make sure to use a lower psi as the higher pressure can damage mortar and lead to weak points.

Wood

Wood is the softest material used for patios, which makes it susceptible to damage by a pressure washer. A professional will know how to adjust the pressure to prevent damage like lowering the psi and switching to a wide nozzle. Using vinegar can also help with mold and mildew on wood.

Composite

Composite is often cleaned with a commercial-grade deck cleaner. It is best to avoid using bleach, harsh chemicals, or any corrosive cleaner that can change the color. Soapy water and soft brushes are used for composite decks.
