What happens if I don't pressure wash my deck before staining?

• <div><p>If you don’t thoroughly clean your deck surface before staining, debris, grease, and mildew can get trapped on top of the wood. As well as looking unsightly, the stain won’t effectively penetrate the wood surface. You won’t have such a well-protected deck, and you’ll likely have to restain sooner. Beyond just the appearance and adhesion issues, any existing mold or mildew left untreated can continue to grow beneath the new stain, potentially leading to wood rot and structural damage over time, ultimately shortening the lifespan of your deck and requiring costly repairs.</p></div>

Q: What happens if I don't pressure wash my deck before staining?

• <div><p>If you don&rsquo;t thoroughly clean your deck surface before staining, debris, grease, and mildew can get trapped on top of the wood. As well as looking unsightly, the stain won&rsquo;t effectively penetrate the wood surface. You won&rsquo;t have such a well-protected deck, and you&rsquo;ll likely have to restain sooner. Beyond just the appearance and adhesion issues, any existing mold or mildew left untreated can continue to grow beneath the new stain, potentially leading to wood rot and structural damage over time, ultimately shortening the lifespan of your deck and requiring costly repairs.</p></div>

Q: What shouldn’t I use a pressure washer on?

• <div><p>Once you see how well your pressure washer cleans, it&rsquo;s easy to get carried away and want to blast everything. But some surfaces handle pressure washing better than others. Avoid pressure washing anything electrical, painted (unless you want to strip the paint), or delicate, like glass. And even though you can pressure wash wood or other porous surfaces, select a lower-powered pressure washer and wide-angled nozzle to prevent damage.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to pressure wash a house?

• <div><p>It takes about 15 minutes per each side of an exterior house to apply detergent and 15 minutes to remove it, so you&rsquo;ll need roughly two hours for the whole job. However, that length of time may decrease or increase depending on the size of your home, so always budget a little more than expected to ensure you don&rsquo;t end up rushing to get it done.</p></div>

Q: What size pressure washer should I rent for home use?

• <div><p>A pressure washer&rsquo;s size or power is measured in pounds per square inch (PSI). The amount of pressure you need will depend on your project and the material you&rsquo;re washing, but consumer pressure washers range from 500 to 2,400 PSI. Porous materials like brick and stucco should not be blasted with anything stronger than 1,000 PSI, while you can use a PSI of up to 2,400 to clean a vinyl fence. </p></div>

Q: What tools do professionals use for cleaning?

• <div><p>Professionals use high-pressure steam cleaners, brushes, and specialized cleaning solutions for effective results.</p></div>

They know what they are doing. They have got a very well experienced crew. They do the oil change and check everything. Then they vacuum and wash the car. It is all for the same price, $30.
