Doing cleaning projects yourself has become an internet sensation. Many blogs and companies tote the DIY project as a great way to save money. However, some projects require a specified knowledge to ensure the project is done the right way. Pool deck cleaning is one of these projects.
Pool deck cleaning may not seem like a particularly technical job. Most people maintain their pool decks by brushing away built-up leaves and dirt with a broom or doing a light wash of their deck with a hose. However, deep cleaning your pool deck is important, and it isn't as easy as brushing away debris.
How Often Should You Engage in Pool Deck Cleaning?
A deep clean for your pool deck doesn't just keep your pool deck looking great. It's important for safety reasons as well. The buildup of chemicals and algae on the surface of your pool deck can be dangerous, and it's important to routinely clean away any algae, mildew, or bacteria that finds itself on your deck.
To keep your pool deck in the best shape possible and as safe as possible, professionals recommend engaging in a pool deck cleaning at least once a year.
What is the Best Way to Clean Your Pool Deck?
Pool decks, particularly concrete pool decks, aren't as solid as you might think. Concrete is a porous material and is very prone to chipping and breakage. Most traditional cleaning methods won't get these areas clean. Patio tiles and pavers also tend to be covered in small nooks and crannies that aren't easy to clean.
DIY cleaning methods don't tend to get into these areas. The best option for keeping your pool deck clean is a professional pressure washing service.
Pressure washing utilizes high powered water spray and cleaners to break down dirt, debris, algae, and other contaminants that wind up on the surface of your pool deck. Because pressure washing uses water spray as a primary cleaner, this option gets in to all the small nooks and crannies on your pool deck to clean out any contaminants that have found their way in.
No matter how long it's been since your last pool deck cleaning appointment, pressure washing is the best option for you.
Why Not DIY Pressure Washing?
There are hundreds of resources online that suggest DIY-ing your pressure washing project. However, most of these resources don't mention the dangers of pressure washing.
Pressure washing, while a great cleaning option, is a highly dangerous endeavor. Most DIY-ers don't have a working knowledge of just how dangerous a pressure washer can be. Without training and previous experience with pressure washing, you can injure yourself and others while attempting a cleaning project.
Professional pressure washing contractors train their employees to ensure they're able to handle a pressure washer and assess each individual project to ensure you're getting the best results possible. Pressure washing experts also have a wide array of experience to ensure their work is done safely and efficiently.
Another major con to DIY pressure washing is that, in the long run, it isn't actually cheaper. Not only do you have to add up the cost of renting/buying a machine, but you also have detergent costs, water costs, and even damage repair costs. If you pressure wash without a clear knowledge of pressure washing and the damage pressure washing can do, you can do a lot of damage to your home and outdoor surfaces that can lead to costly repairs. This is why it's better to leave your pressure washing project to the professionals if you aren't a pressure washing technician yourself.
A great benefit of hiring a reputable company is that they will have insurance for any injury or damages and make sure to have the right chemicals on hand to deal with the mold or mildew on your home or surfaces.
