Get matched with top pressure washers in Kenmare, ND

When you deep clean your washing machine, using hot water is the best practice since it’s more effective than cold water at killing various types of bacteria and viruses. Plus, hot water tends to break down soap residue more efficiently.

Not pressure washing your driveway can lead to several consequences that affect both its appearance and its structural integrity over time:  

• Reduced Curb Appeal: A dirty driveway covered in grime, stains, and mildew detracts from your home's overall appearance.  

• Safety Hazards: The buildup of algae, moss, and mildew creates slippery surfaces. When wet, it increases the risk of slips and falls for you, your family, and visitors.  

• Structural Damage: Dirt, debris, and organic growth can trap moisture against the driveway's surface. In colder climates, this moisture can freeze and thaw, leading to cracks and deterioration of the concrete or asphalt.

A good PSI for a pressure washer will depend on the job you're doing. Pressure washer PSI ratings range from 1,300 to 4,200 PSI. Lower PSI is suitable for cleaning dirt and debris off of softer materials. Use a low PSI when pressure washing vinyl siding , wood, or stucco. A heavy-duty job like cleaning graffiti off of concrete or brick will require at least 2,000 PSI.

Concrete does well with a number of cleaning agents, as it’s a durable material. Choose from acidic cleaners, alkaline cleaners, and pH-neutral cleaners, in addition to antibacterial solutions. Your best bet is to simply read the fine print with your preferred detergent and make sure it mentions concrete as a viable surface.
