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>

Can I use a pressure washer to clean my gutter guards?

• <div><p>Whether or not you can use a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/clean-gutters-with-pressure-washer.htm">pressure washer to clean your gutter guards</a> depends on the type of gutter guard you have and the strength of the pressure washer. Most gutter guards can handle a low-pressure setting but check first. If you’re unsure if your gutter guard is designed for pressure washing, check your manufacturer’s instructions, ask a pro, or use a garden hose to clean the gutter guard instead. As gutter guards age, they become less resistant to the strong forces of a power washer, so treat older gutter guards with more care.</p></div>

Q: What time of the year should you pressure wash a patio?

• <div><p>No matter the material, the best times to pressure wash or power wash a patio are spring and summer during a string of dry days. As long as the temperature is above 40 degrees Fahrenheit, you won&rsquo;t encounter any cold-related issues. You need those dry days to ensure no algae or mold grows on the wet surface of the patio. </p></div>

Q: What cleanup do I need to do after soda blasting?

• <div><p>Sodium bicarbonate does not need to be cleaned up as thoroughly as many of its aggregate counterparts because it is not considered dangerous to the environment, nor to pets or people. While you will likely want to clean up the dust with a shop-vac and some water for aesthetic and comfort reasons, soda blasting cleanup is much simpler than for most sandblasting.</p></div>

They are fantastic. I have a big F-250, tough to wash in a drive thru carwash. But they told me they could get it clean and they sure did. I had just got home from a 3000 mile trip to Texas and Colorado and it was a mess. Bugs and grime everywhere. They pre-sprayed it, ran it thru the wash...
