Pressure cleaning uses pressurized water to strip algae, mold and built-up dirt off outdoor surfaces like lanais, pool decks, driveways, walkways and the screens and frames of pool cages. In Southwest Florida's heat and humidity that growth comes back, so most homes need it done again over time.
Why outdoor surfaces turn green and black
The green film on pool cage screens and the black patches on lanai pavers and driveways are algae and mold. Shade, humidity and sprinkler water let them spread.
Growth on a walking surface is more than looks. A green, damp lanai or walkway can get slippery.
What gets cleaned
Lanai and patio floors, concrete and pavers alike.
Pool cages and screen enclosures, screens and frames, so the green film comes off and the view through the screen clears up.
Driveways and walkways, including paver and cobblestone driveways.
The outside of the house.
Keeping it clean longer
Sweep leaves and debris off lanais and walkways. Wet leaves feed mold.
Point sprinklers away from screens, walls and pavers where you can.
Cleaned pavers can be sealed to protect them. The paver sealing guide explains how.
