Q: What do you spray on a wood deck before pressure washing?

• <div><p>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.</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: 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 necessary to power wash your house?

• <div><p>It may be necessary to power wash your house, depending on the siding material. Vinyl, composite, or metal siding can hold up to the heat and pressure of occasional power washing, but materials like brick, stucco, wood, and painted materials may get damaged from the high-pressure water. For sensitive materials, consider a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/soft-wash-better-regular-pressure-washing.htm">soft wash instead of a pressure wash</a>. </p></div>

Q: What can be pressure washed?

• <div><p>These <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-parts-house-can-you-pressure-wash.htm">parts of the house are okay to pressure wash</a>:</p><ul><li><p>Natural wood decking that is not stained or painted</p></li><li><p>Siding made of vinyl, aluminum, and cement</p></li><li><p>Concrete</p></li><li><p>Most children&rsquo;s toys</p></li><li><p>Outdoor furniture</p></li><li><p>Trash cans and recycle bins</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

"Jason is absolutely amazing! I got several quotes, but his enthusiasm and personality, alone, won me over. He worked very quickly, told me the prices & giving me the receipts for anything that changed along the way, he is honest (which is SOOOO refreshing in this type of business), and is such a great person to bounce ideas off of for jobs that are not your typical pressure washing jobs. I wasn't sure what I wanted at first and he was genuinely excited to help me *exactly* what I wanted. And I got it! The curb appeal of my house is so much higher now. JoG is THE highest recommended person to have ever done any projects for me, hands-down... and that's quite a few. An absolutely wonderful person who does absolutely wonderful work."
