Ready to spruce up curb appeal this spring? A great place to start is a thorough exterior cleaning. A property that sparkles in the sun can make a world of difference. But if you’re about to reach for a pressure washer, stop for a moment. Not all surfaces of your home can handle the intense spray of a pressure washer; some, like stone, can be damaged by the wrong tools. Unless you have the right tools for your home, it might be best to call EcoBridge. Here’s a quick guide to power washing.
What to Power Wash?
At EcoBridge, power washing in Vancouver is now a service you can add to landscaping or book as a one-off. Typically, after a service like mulching or planting, a power wash is a great way to make sure your home’s surfaces are sparkling clean. Power washing is usually best used on hardscape elements. Vinyl, wood, or hybrid materials are typically strong enough to withstand pressure washing. To reduce the risk of property damage, we always start with the lightest, gentlest cleaning method that is effective and work up from there.
Power Washing Safely
Before starting any pressure project, it’s best to make sure small children and pets are safely inside. A pressure washer is a power tool that must be treated with respect and common sense because it’s potentially dangerous. The spray from the power washer’s tip is so concentrated that it can slice through skin.
Power washing is incredibly effective for cleaning stubborn, stuck-on grime, oil stains, and mould from durable, hard surfaces like concrete, brick, and stone. It’s also great after the winter months when fallen leaves have stained concrete surfaces–power washing can effectively remove these stains. The combination of pressure and heated water also makes it ideal for pre-painting prep on a deck or fence, heavy-duty driveway and sidewalk cleaning, and mildew removal. However, when in doubt, we recommend opting for safety and working with a professional.
