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.

Pressure washing your home or fence can make a major difference in the appearance and may even help extend the life of the structure you’re cleaning. Some of the most common areas that people pressure wash around their property include:

• Driveway: $100–$250

• Patio: $100–$200

• Fence: $150–$300

• Gutters: $50–$150

• Roof: $450–$700

• Siding: $150–$1,400

• One-story house: $150–$750

• Two-story house: $400–$1,400

• Three-story house: $700–$1,800

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).

The best pressure washer nozzle to clean a driveway is a surface cleaner with three wheels to ensure you get smooth, even coverage. The attachment allows you to deep clean a driveway’s large surface without much strain on your body, especially if you add two extender wands. Choose a pressure washer that offers 2500 to 3000 PSI and about 3 gallons of water per minute.
