You’re working with certified professionals who’ve seen every type of stain and surface challenge that Virginia’s climate throws at concrete patios.

Patio Pressure Washing Process Dayton

Here's Exactly What Happens During Your Service
First, we inspect your patio to identify the specific types of stains and determine the right pressure settings and cleaning solutions. Different stains require different approaches—what works for oil won’t work for algae. Next comes the preparation. Furniture gets moved, surrounding plants are protected, and the area is cleared for safe, efficient cleaning. This prevents damage to your landscaping and ensures thorough access to every corner. The cleaning itself uses commercial-grade equipment that operates at up to 4000 PSI with specialized surface cleaners. These rotating heads ensure even cleaning without the streaking that comes from handheld wands. Hot water and appropriate cleaning solutions lift embedded stains that cold water alone can’t touch. Finally, everything gets a thorough rinse and inspection. You’ll see the difference immediately—concrete that looked permanently stained now looks years younger.

What's Included in Professional Patio Cleaning
Your service covers complete cleaning of concrete patios, walkways, and connecting surfaces. This includes removal of organic growth like algae and moss, oil and grease stains, dirt and grime buildup, and those stubborn black streaks that seem permanent. In Dayton’s climate, patios face unique challenges. The humid conditions and tree coverage create perfect conditions for mold and algae growth. Heavy spring rains wash debris onto surfaces, and Virginia’s clay soil creates stubborn staining when it gets tracked around. We use specialized equipment designed for these local conditions—surface cleaners that prevent streaking, hot water systems that break down organic stains, and eco-friendly solutions that won’t harm your landscaping. You also get protection for surrounding plants and proper disposal of all wastewater according to environmental regulations.

How often should I have my concrete patio professionally cleaned?

Most Dayton area homeowners benefit from professional patio cleaning every 12-18 months, though this varies based on your specific conditions. If your patio is heavily shaded by trees or gets significant organic debris, annual cleaning prevents stains from becoming permanent. Properties with more sun exposure and less organic matter might stretch it to every two years. The key is addressing stains before they penetrate deep into the concrete’s porous surface, where they become much harder to remove. You’ll know it’s time when you start noticing dark streaks, slippery areas from algae growth, or stains that regular hosing won’t remove. Waiting too long means more aggressive cleaning methods and potentially higher costs.
Professional pressure washing, when done correctly, won’t damage properly installed concrete. The key is using the right pressure settings, proper technique, and appropriate cleaning solutions for your specific surface and stain types. Inexperienced operators or rental equipment users often cause damage by using too much pressure, staying in one spot too long, or using the wrong nozzle types. We know how to adjust pressure based on the concrete’s age, condition, and the types of stains being removed. For plant protection, we pre-wet vegetation, use eco-friendly solutions, and ensure proper runoff management. Your landscaping is protected throughout the process, and any cleaning solutions we use are safe for the environment when properly applied and rinsed.
Most oil, grease, and organic stains can be successfully removed with professional equipment and techniques. Oil stains that have penetrated into concrete require hot water, specialized degreasers, and sometimes pre-treatment to break down the oils before pressure washing. The success rate depends on how long the stains have been there and what type of concrete you have. Fresh stains come out easily, while years-old stains may require multiple treatments or specialized techniques. Some very old, deeply penetrated stains may lighten significantly but not disappear completely. Rust stains, paint, and other specific contaminants each require different approaches. During the initial inspection, we can assess your specific stains and give you realistic expectations about what level of improvement you can expect.
Most residential patio cleaning jobs in Dayton take 2-4 hours, depending on the size of the area, severity of staining, and complexity of the layout. A standard 200-300 square foot patio with moderate staining typically takes about 2.5 hours from start to finish. This includes setup time, moving furniture, the actual cleaning process, and final inspection. Heavily stained patios or those with multiple types of stains may require additional time for pre-treatment and multiple cleaning passes. The concrete is usually dry enough to walk on within 1-2 hours after cleaning, depending on weather conditions. You can typically replace furniture and resume normal use the same day, though it’s best to wait until surfaces are completely dry to avoid new stains from furniture legs or other items.
Yes, we stand behind our work with a satisfaction guarantee. If you’re not completely satisfied with the results, we’ll return to address any areas that didn’t meet expectations at no additional charge. This guarantee covers the cleaning results, not the permanent removal of every stain—some very old or deeply penetrated stains may not be completely removable even with professional equipment. However, you should see dramatic improvement in your patio’s appearance and cleanliness. We’ll discuss realistic expectations during the initial assessment so you know what to expect. Our 15+ years of experience means we can usually predict how different stains will respond to professional cleaning and we’ll be upfront about any limitations before starting the work.
The main preparation is clearing the patio of furniture, grills, planters, and other moveable items. If you have heavy items that are difficult to move, let us know in advance and we can help with relocation as part of the service. Make sure there’s access to water and electricity near the cleaning area. We bring our own equipment, but we’ll need to connect to your water supply and may need electrical access for certain equipment. It’s also helpful to point out any specific problem areas or stains you’re concerned about when we arrive. This helps us plan the best approach and ensures those trouble spots get the attention they need for optimal results.
