Q: How do you prep a surface for pressure washing?

• <div><p>It depends on the type of surface, but if you&rsquo;re preparing to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-pressure-wash-driveway.htm">pressure wash a driveway</a>, you&rsquo;ll start by using a broom or leaf blower to get rid of dirt, leaves, and other debris. Then, move any nearby items (like outdoor furniture and potted plants) and cover in-ground plants with a tarp or plastic sheet. After that, you can apply degreaser spray or another pretreatment solution to any stains and scrub them with a stiff brush before pressure washing.</p></div>

Q: What is a good or recommended PSI for a pressure washer?

• <div><p>The ideal PSI (pounds per square inch) for a pressure washer depends on the surface you are cleaning. For general home use, a pressure washer with a range of 2,000 to 3,000 PSI is recommended and powerful enough for most residential projects.</p><p>The specific PSI you should use varies by task:</p><ul><li><p><b>High-Pressure Tasks (2,500-3,000 PSI):</b> Tough materials like concrete, stone, masonry, and brick can handle higher pressures. This is suitable for removing stubborn stains from driveways or cleaning graffiti.</p></li><li><p><b>Low-Pressure Tasks (around 600-1,300 PSI):</b> Softer surfaces require a gentler touch to avoid damage. Use a low PSI setting for cleaning wood decks (especially softwoods like pine and cedar), vinyl siding, outdoor furniture, and stucco.</p></li></ul><p>For best results, choose the right nozzle for your surface, such as a 15-degree nozzle for siding or a surface cleaner attachment for driveways. Using an extendable wand can also make the work easier and more ergonomic.</p></div>

Q: Is it safe to pressure wash inside?

• <div><p>It&lsquo;s risky to pressure wash indoors, and we wouldn&rsquo;t recommend it, but following all safety guidelines can prevent the worst outcomes. Always make sure to use an electric-powered machine over one that&rsquo;s gas-powered, remove obstacles that could cause tripping or falling, and keep appliances like hair dryers and toothbrushes unplugged and out of the way to prevent electrical hazards. </p></div>

Q: Do I need to clean my deck before staining, and what happens if I don't?

• <div><p>Yes, you must thoroughly clean your deck before staining. If you don't, dirt, debris, grease, and mildew can get trapped between the wood and the new stain. This not only looks unsightly but also prevents the stain from penetrating the wood properly, reducing its ability to protect the deck from weather and UV rays. As a result, the stain won't last as long or look as good. Any existing mold or mildew left untreated can continue to grow beneath the new stain, potentially leading to wood rot and structural damage. Always wait at least 48 hours after cleaning for the wood to dry completely before applying stain.</p></div>

Q: How long does professional power washing take?

• <div><p>Generally 1-2 hours, depending on the area and level of dirt accumulation.</p></div>
