Well, this is a question that has many variables and there’s not one clear answer. If the roofing material on your house is concrete, then we recommend you do NOT pressure wash your roof. That said, if you’re trying to get rid of any algae or mold on your roof (which can’t be scraped off), then pressure washing may be an option for you…depending on the condition of the surface below.

If there are cracks, loose shingles/tar paper, stitches coming up out of the seams (especially along ridge-lines), water penetration through flashing joints or other openings on slab roofs make make it impossible to pressure spray without causing damage to the building itself -further inspection needed.

A power washer is a great option for cleaning your driveway and will do the job much better than any other method. One of the most beneficial aspects about nozzles is that they produce a high pressure, low volume amount of water which decreases the spray’s propensity to bounce off your surface and causes more force against it. Furthermore, unlike soap or dish-washing liquid that must be scrubbed in order to clean, when using hot water (140+ Fahrenheit) all you need to do is use a nozzle and run it at least five minutes.

When choosing how many gallons per minute you want in your machine, remember that higher amounts require more gas usage and also make for louder noise, but clean much faster.

Pressure washing pavers is a process that not only cleans them but can provide additional benefits such as an immediate, hands-on assessment of the overall condition of the pavement. The last thing you want to do is use coarse sandpaper or stone cleaner to clean and expose your high quality paver materials due to risk of damaging it even more.

It’s much better for you and your pavers if you seal them first with a commercial, all-inclusive paver sealer (like Armour Paver Sealer) before performing any pressure washing. This keep those expensive pavers looking fresh and long lasting by preventing scratches that lead into cracks in existing joints like asphalt paving sealing does.

Soft washing is a very effective way to clean your house exterior.

Soft wash works by spraying large volumes of water onto the surface to be cleaned, and then soaking it for a minute or two before using a cleaning solution mixed with fresh hot water to scrub away stains. The molecules of dirt become so tightly bonded with the surface after being soaked in warm soapy liquid that they can be easily removed without any heavy scrubbing from brushes. In this manner this type of cleaning will work even on surfaces like brick and concrete, which are not too accessible for normal cleaners and need an aggressive cleaning regimen like hand scraping and wire brushing before you can move on to wetting them down with solvents.

If your siding is vinyl, the best way to clean it is with a pressure washer using a low-pressure setting. The water can flow under the siding because of gravity and wash grass, dirt, mold, moss spores and other outdoor debris away from where they’re clinging. Plus, powerful spray guns will help loosen any grime that’s been caked on for years!

Roof washing is something you should consider every year or two. Roofs often age and dust accumulates on them, so water doesn’t flow as effectively, and the roof will gradually leak and cause more damage to your home. Choosing a roof cleaning company can be an overwhelming task, but one important consideration is that they use eco-friendly detergents that won’t harm the environment by flowing into the local rivers during rainstorms. It’s worth investing in some environmentally friendly window cleaners as well.

Power washing is the process of spraying hot water mixed with detergent onto a surface to clean it. Pressure washing uses high-pressure water that can cause damage if precautions are not taken, so most power washers advertise that they are not pressure washers. Generally, pressure washer will have settings for different levels of power and force. The heat generated by power washing does most of the cleaning, making for less physically demanding work than using a pressure cleaner to achieve results.
