Pressure Washing questions, answered by experts

Generally 1-2 hours, depending on the area and level of dirt accumulation.

Experts agree that spring and fall are the best times to pressure wash a home's exterior due to the milder weather. Aim to schedule the project once a year during a warm, dry season, typically between March and November, depending on your local climate. Many prefer the spring to clean away dirt and grime that has gathered over the winter, preparing the house for the rest of the year. You can always perform touch-ups in the summer or fall as needed.

Yes, many professionals use biodegradable detergents and water-efficient cleaning techniques to minimize environmental impact.

The ideal PSI (pounds per square inch) for a pressure washer depends on the surface you are cleaning. For general home use, a pressure washer with a range of 2,000 to 3,000 PSI is recommended and powerful enough for most residential projects.

The specific PSI you should use varies by task:

  • High-Pressure Tasks (2,500-3,000 PSI): Tough materials like concrete, stone, masonry, and brick can handle higher pressures. This is suitable for removing stubborn stains from driveways or cleaning graffiti.

  • Low-Pressure Tasks (around 600-1,300 PSI): Softer surfaces require a gentler touch to avoid damage. Use a low PSI setting for cleaning wood decks (especially softwoods like pine and cedar), vinyl siding, outdoor furniture, and stucco.

For best results, choose the right nozzle for your surface, such as a 15-degree nozzle for siding or a surface cleaner attachment for driveways. Using an extendable wand can also make the work easier and more ergonomic.

This process doesn’t necessarily require soap or detergent, but it definitely helps. You can get by with just using water, but remember, brick requires a lower-than-average pressure level when compared to concrete, so forgoing detergent increases the time it takes to spot clean stains and debris once you finish with the pressure washer. Brick is especially porous, so the less water you use on it, the better.
