Pressure cleaning, when done incorrectly, can potentially damage certain surfaces, but if done properly and with the right equipment, it’s a safe and effective way to clean various areas of your property. Damage typically occurs when too high a pressure setting is used on delicate materials or when the wrong nozzle is applied to sensitive surfaces.

For instance, wooden decks, vinyl siding, and shingles on roofs can be damaged by high pressure if not adjusted to the appropriate level. Wood may splinter, siding can crack, and shingles may be stripped off or loosened. Additionally, older concrete can be etched or damaged by overly aggressive pressure washing. It's essential to adjust the pressure and use the correct nozzle and technique for each surface type.

Professional pressure cleaners are trained to assess the surface before cleaning, ensuring the proper pressure setting and technique are used. If you're pressure cleaning on your own, it’s advisable to start with a lower pressure setting and gradually increase it to avoid any potential damage.

The best time for pressure cleaning largely depends on your local climate and the purpose of the cleaning. Generally, spring and early summer are ideal times to pressure clean outdoor surfaces. After the winter months, homes and properties often accumulate dirt, debris, mould, and mildew, especially in humid or wet environments. Pressure cleaning during spring helps remove this buildup and prepares your property for summer.

In areas with more temperate climates, pressure cleaning can be done year-round, but it's important to avoid cleaning during extremely hot or cold weather. In colder months, water can freeze and cause damage, while in very hot conditions, surfaces like concrete or asphalt may dry too quickly, leaving streaks or uneven results.

For homes located in humid climates, more frequent pressure cleaning might be necessary to manage mold and algae growth. Regular cleaning in these conditions keeps surfaces looking their best and prevents long-term damage.
