No DIY Nozzle Can Handle The Pressure
Prepare to be underwhelmed. The "power" of a standard hose and the pressure from your outdoor water source might seem like they are enough to perform effective pressure washing. In the end, you likely won't get the results you desire. Here's why:
If it's time to clean your patio, the following likely will transpire: You grab the traditional garden hose, set the nozzle on the "jet" mode, and fire away. Suddenly, that spot that was once a foot in diameter is now spread out and covers a much larger area, though it appears there is less dirt.
Not so. All you've done is spread the mess around, and nothing is clean. In fact, the grime now covers a bigger area. So you keep spraying, and eventually, you think the problem is solved. Unfortunately, it's not. The wet area eventually dries, leaving a mark where the dirt settles, and you, who had such high hopes just minutes before, feel a little dejected; the patio still isn't clean.
It IS An Exact Science!
Pressure washing a paved surface involves more than just using a hose and nozzle to wash away unwanted blemishes. There is a system and procedure that includes the following:
- Water pressure and temperature.
- Condition of the material being treated.
- Degree of contaminants on the surface.
- Overall desired result.
Homeowners and business owners alike would think patio washing and deck cleaning are simple tasks. Just point the hose and blast away. This actually can cause damage if the pressure is too high or result in the aforementioned spreading of dirt and grime.
A Tip For Chatsworth Property Owners
We live in a hot, humid area with temperature fluctuations and sometimes unpredictable weather conditions. It might be clear and beautiful in the morning, but by mid-afternoon in the summer, those Georgia thunderstorms roll in and often pound away at your roof and property.
Your exterior surfaces bear the brunt of the impacts of the weather and classic southern moisture. So, scheduling deck and fence cleaning at least twice a year will ensure the mold, mildew, grime, and other hard-to-spot contaminants are washed away using proper pressure and temperature and, if necessary, an environmentally sound antibacterial detergent.
