Pressure (or power) washing is the best way to clean deep down dirt and prepare the wood for a penetrating sealing or staining. We use a pressure washer, averaging 2500 PSI, with a fanned-tip lowering the overall direct pressure that is used. This is done in a slow systematic process to prevent any unsightly lines, gouges or damage to the wood.
Only water is used in pressure washing cleaning. We have found that the addition of any spray-on cleaners or bleaches will change the natural color of the wood and affect the final cosmetics of the penetrating sealer/stain application. Additionally, since we don’t use chemicals, there will be no harm or damage to your plants or gardens near the project.
We ask that all furniture be moved off prior to us starting your job. We can move around large/heavy pieces as needed.
