Pressure washing is a great way to clean a variety of surfaces. From sidewalks and patios to the exterior of your home. Pressure washing is suitable in many situations and can maintain or restore the look of your home. In fact, many realtors will advise homeowners to pressure wash their home as a way to boost the curb appeal and listing price of their home. Pressure washing sidewalks is a quick, easy, and efficient way to remove dirt or salt deposits that cause sidewalk surfaces to deteriorate. Your stained deck will last longer if you choose to pressure wash it on a regular basis.
Why Pressure Wash Your House, Driveway & Property?
1. Pressure cleaning saves time. Pressure washing is far more superior than regular cleaning methods. When you invest in a professional pressure washing, you can eliminate the need to gather the materials you’ll need, prepare the correct cleaning solution, and then you’ll be spending a day or more scrubbing. You also don’t need to scale a ladder. All you need to do is point the nozzle to get to those hard-to-reach places.
2. Power washing keeps your family safe. Your home is a place for your family to live, but there are other contaminants that make your home their own, from dirt to harmful mold, pressure washing removes them all with ease. That means the air you and your family breathe is as pure as possible. Pressure washing also removes algae that can become a slipping hazard. Pressure washing treatments can also be part of preventative maintenance to keep your home safe and always looking great.
3. Exterior cleaning boosts curb appeal. Ask any realtor and they will tell you that increasing curb appeal is the best way to distinguish your home from countless other listings. Curb appeal will make your home stand out from all the others and bring more interested buyers to your home. You can get great curb appeal very quickly when you have your home pressure washed. It will also save you time and energy during what can be a stressful time.
4. Pressure washing is good for the environment. Many times, heavy-duty cleaning comes with the use of heavy chemicals. While they can be very effective, they can be harmful to the environment. Pressure washers work by blasting water at a high velocity, so you don’t need the use of harmful chemicals to remove stains and mildew. Pressure washers also use a lot less water than a garden hose to do the same job. Some estimates suggest as much as 75% of water can be saved using a pressure washer over a garden hose.
Dangers of DIY Pressure Washing
There are many tasks you can do yourself around your home, but pressure washing your home is something you should leave to the professionals. Pressure washing is not as easy as it looks. The psi required for different surfaces varies and if it’s not done correctly, you can damage surfaces if you apply too much pressure. Without the proper ratio of cleaning solution mixed in with the water, you will significantly reduce the effectiveness of the cleaning and waste your time. Most important of all, you can injure yourself or those around you.
