Before pressure washing, you can spray your deck lightly with a deck cleaning solution made of equal parts oxalic acid and water. Oxalic acid has a brightening effect that will lighten mold stains and return the deck to its original freshly-sawn look. Allow the solution to sit for about 20 minutes before pressure washing so it has time to take effect.

When researching prospective pressure washing pros, consider asking them the following questions to ensure you hire the right professional for the job. 

• What factors determine your costs to pressure wash a deck?

• What are the different techniques you use for different deck materials, such as wood, composite, and metal? 

• How do you ensure that the pressure washer won’t damage the deck? 

• Are there any hidden costs I should prepare for, such as fees for deep stains or mold removal?

• Can you offer a discounted price if I want to bundle additional services, like sealing or staining?

• How long does it typically take you to pressure wash a deck like mine?

• What type of detergents and cleaning solutions do you use? Are they safe for the surrounding ecosystem?

• Do you recommend applying any treatments or coatings after pressure washing to preserve its appearance?

Once you see how well your pressure washer cleans, it’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.

Experts typically recommend pressure washing your driveway at least once per year to keep it looking great while preventing stains, cracks, and unwanted vegetation. However, if your driveway gets a lot of use, you might want to pressure wash it more often to keep it looking like new.
