3 Surfaces To Pressure Wash

Pressure washing is a great way to keep your residential and commercial properties clean and maintained. However, not all outdoor surfaces can stand up to the high powered water spray used in pressure washing. The experts at Excellent Exteriors Pressure Washing and SoftWash explain the 3 surface materials that you can pressure wash so you know what to look for during your outdoor cleaning projects.

1. Concrete

Concrete is one of the most common materials used by building contractors because of its tensile strength. Luckily, concrete holds up well to pressure washing because of this.


Another great reason to use pressure washing is that concrete is a very porous material. This means that there are thousands of tiny pores making up each concrete surface. The water used in pressure washing is one of the only ways to get into these pores to clean out dirt, mold, mildew, and other bacteria. Not only is pressure washing uniquely suited to the larger surfaces concrete usually makes up, but it also gets into those tiny pores that make up the concrete to ensure your surfaces are clean and clear.

2. Brick

Brick is another common building material found on residential and commercial properties. While brick holds up really well against the high powered water spray used in pressure washing, it's important before the pressure washing process to ensure that the mortar holding your bricks in place is still solid.


If there are breaks or damages to the mortar, you should invest in fixing these areas before hiring a professional pressure washing contractor.

3. Hardwood

Hardwood is often used in construction for decks, porches, and patios. If you're looking for a professional patio cleaning, pool deck washing, or porch washing, pressure washing contractors can help. Hardwood is wood that is taken from oak, ash, or beech trees. In general, hardwoods come from deciduous trees that lose their leaves annually. These woods hold up well to the high powered water spray used in pressure washing, which means you don't have to worry about your pressure washing project.


If you aren't sure what materials your surfaces are made of, that's alright! Our experts provide individual assessments for each cleaning project we work on, so we can help figure out what kind of wood is used on your surfaces.
