PROFESSIONAL PRESSURE CLEANING AND SEALING IN SYDNEY NSW

Pressure cleaning or pressure washing is a highly effective method for cleaning exterior surfaces, using a high-pressure water spray to remove dirt, grime, mold, and other types of buildup. It's commonly used to clean patios, decks, fences, driveways, and other outdoor surfaces. 

However, it's essential to adjust the pressure of your pressure washing machine and even combine it with a soft wash solution to match the surface being cleaned. Failure to do so can result in damage or premature wear to the surface, which can be costly to repair or replace. For example, a high-pressure setting may be appropriate for concrete or other hard surfaces, but too much pressure can damage wood or delicate materials.

In some cases, a soft wash solution may also be necessary to remove particularly stubborn stains or buildup. Soft washing involves the use of a low-pressure spray combined with a specialized cleaning solution, which can be gentler on certain surfaces while still effectively removing dirt and grime.

Therefore, it's crucial to consult with a professional pressure cleaning service like First Choice Exterior Solutions to ensure that the proper pressure settings and cleaning solutions are used for each specific surface being cleaned.

At First Choice Exterior Solutions, we offer a variety of sealing options to protect and preserve surfaces after pressure cleaning. There are several different types of sealers available, including penetrating sealers, and water or solvent-based acrylic sealers.

Penetrating sealers are designed to soak into the surface of the material, providing protection from within. This type of sealer is often used on porous surfaces, such as concrete or natural stone. Once applied, the sealer penetrates the material and creates a barrier that helps to repel water, oil, and other contaminants. Penetrating sealers are a great option for surfaces that require long-lasting protection.

Water-based acrylic sealers are a popular option for protecting concrete surfaces from damage caused by weather, UV rays, and general wear and tear. This type of sealer is easy to apply, dries quickly, and provides a clear protective coating. Water-based acrylic sealers are eco-friendly and low in VOCs, making them a safe option for both indoor and outdoor use.

Solvent-based acrylic sealers are similar to water-based acrylic sealers, but they use a solvent instead of water as the main ingredient. This type of sealer is more durable than water-based acrylic sealers and provides a glossy finish that enhances the color of the surface. Solvent-based acrylic sealers are ideal for high-traffic areas that require a strong and long-lasting protective coating.

When choosing a sealer for your pressure cleaning project, it's important to consider the type of surface being sealed, as well as the desired level of protection and finish. First Choice Exterior Solutions, a professional sealing service, will help you determine which type of sealer is best for your specific needs.

Soft washing is a gentler method of cleaning exterior surfaces using a low-pressure water spray and specialized cleaning solutions to remove dirt, grime, and other types of buildup that may be impacting the appearance of your outdoor space. This approach is safe for most of the exterior materials including wood, concrete, terracotta, colorbond and more, and ensures that your surfaces are not damaged during the cleaning process. It's commonly used to clean more delicate surfaces such as roofs, stucco, and painted surfaces. 

At First Choice Exterior Solutions, we are soft washing experts.

While pressure washing is generally safe for most outdoor surfaces, some materials may be too delicate for high-pressure water. For example, pressure washing can damage vinyl siding or paint if not done properly. It's always best to consult with a professional before pressure washing any surfaces.  

The frequency of pressure washing will depend on several factors, including the type of surface, the amount of foot traffic, and the climate in your area. As a general rule, most exterior surfaces should be pressure washed at least once a year to remove dirt and buildup, but this must be done by a professional company to ensure your surfaces are not damaged. 

It is important to note that pressure cleaning brick driveways can have negative consequences as the sand between the bricks is integral to their stability. Therefore, the use of high-pressure water can displace the sand, leading to costly repairs in the future. 

Yes, pressure washing can be effective at removing stains and discoloration from outdoor surfaces. However, the effectiveness will depend on the type of stain and the surface being cleaned. For example, pressure washing may not be effective at removing deep-set oil stains from a concrete driveway.
