Hotel Biz: Pressure Washing Vs. Regular Cleaning



After years on the drawing board, months in construction, and weeks in finishing up the last details, you finally have a nice outdoor area for guests staying at your hotel. A nice bricked path, a fountain in the middle, and all around it is a beautiful garden that could definitely catch the eyes of every passerby.

Fast forward a few months and you'll start to see stains on the concrete and brick, and your fountain isn't as scenic as it used to be because of all the moss and dirt around it. Luckily, there are professionals who can get rid of the grime and make your outdoors look fresh as it had been on day one.

Cleaning concrete, brick, and asphalt is pretty easy, but getting the stains off of them is not. Luckily, most of these materials are dyed through and through, so all you need is a steel brush, sand blaster, or a pressure washer to etch a bit of the concrete and make them look good as new. This would work well for stains that are hard to remove like paint, oil, or varnish.

While brushing away is also a possible solution, the brush isn't powerful enough at times, and getting the dirt out of porous materials can be difficult without a pressure washer. Just remember to dial the pressure down a bit, and wash away carefully.
