As a homeowner, you take pride in your property and want it to look its best. One way to enhance your home's curb appeal is by pressure washing your home's exterior, sidewalks, and driveway. Pressure washing can remove years of built-up dirt and grime, making your home look fresh and new again. In this blog post, The Johnson Team will guide you through the process of pressure washing and share tips on how to get the best results.
Step 1: Gather Your Supplies
Before you start pressure washing, you'll need to gather your supplies. You'll need a pressure washer, a garden hose, a stiff-bristled brush, and a cleaning solution. If you don't own a pressure washer, you can rent one from a local hardware store.
Step 2: Prep Your Surfaces
Before you start pressure washing, you'll need to prep your surfaces. This means removing any obstacles, such as patio furniture or potted plants, and sweeping away any loose dirt or debris. Cover any nearby plants or landscaping with plastic sheeting to protect them from the cleaning solution.
Step 3: Apply Cleaning Solution
Apply the cleaning solution to your surfaces using a garden sprayer or pressure washer. Allow the solution to sit for a few minutes, but don't let it dry on the surface. If necessary, use a stiff-bristled brush to scrub stubborn stains.
Step 4: Pressure Wash
Attach the pressure washer to your garden hose and turn on the water. Adjust the pressure and spray pattern according to the surface you're cleaning. For example, use a wider spray pattern for your driveway and a narrower pattern for your home's exterior.
Step 5: Rinse
After you've finished pressure washing, rinse your surfaces thoroughly with clean water. This will remove any remaining cleaning solution and leave your surfaces looking clean and fresh.
Pressure washing your home's exterior, sidewalks, and driveway can be a quick and easy way to enhance your home's curb appeal. By following these simple steps, you can achieve great results and keep your home looking its best. If you're planning to sell your home in the near future, pressure washing is a great way to increase its value and appeal to potential buyers.
