Is it safe to pressure wash a deck?

• <div><p>Most deck lumber is softwood that you can easily damage with the spray from a power washer. Most power washers, though, have a lower pressure setting that’s relatively safe for deck materials if you’re careful to hold the nozzle at least a foot from the surface and continue moving without hovering in one area. </p></div>

Q: Do services include eco-friendly cleaning options?

• <div><p>Yes, many professionals use biodegradable detergents and water-efficient cleaning techniques to minimize environmental impact.</p></div>

Q: Can you pressure wash a deck to remove the paint?

• <div><p>Yes, you can use a pressure washer to help with deck paint removal. One of the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pressure-washing-benefits.htm">benefits of pressure washing</a> is its speed. However, a pressure washer is best used with a paint stripper. A paint stripper helps the paint lift from the wood, and then you can use the pressure washer to remove the paint effectively. To increase the longevity of the wood, you want to avoid using more than 1000 PSI on your pressure washer, as too much moisture will penetrate the wood and may cause mildew or rot. </p></div>

Q: How often do you need to pressure wash?

• <div><p>How often you should pressure wash your house is mainly dependent on where you live and how dirty the area gets. For example, you may want to clean the exterior of your house two or more times a year if you live in an area with a lot of rain and snow. On the flip side, you may only need to pressure wash your outdoor patio furniture every few years as it starts to lose its luster (or if you forget to cover it before a big storm).</p></div>

Q: Can you power wash asbestos siding?

• <div><p>Power washing asbestos siding can be hazardous and isn't recommended. The power washer's high pressure can disturb the siding and release harmful asbestos fibers into the air. Rather than attempting to DIY it, hire a professional trained in asbestos handling to tackle any exterior cleaning.</p></div>

we had just bought our house and found the front load washer had a lot of mold and mildew on the door seal/bellows. I had called John's appliance and the owner Mike had to order the seal. After a couple of weeks he arrived with the seal and did a great job installing and cleaning up afterwards.
