How often should I have my patio professionally cleaned?

For most homeowners in the Asheville area, once a year is the practical minimum. Western North Carolina's humidity means organic growth returns faster than in drier climates. Patios in shaded spots or under tree canopy may need cleaning every six to eight months. A quick visual check each spring tells you what you need.

Will pressure washing damage my patio surface?

It depends on the PSI used and who is operating the equipment. Concrete handles higher pressure without issue. Natural stone, older pavers, and mortared joints require a lower-pressure soft-wash approach. A technician who uses the same pressure setting on every surface will eventually cause damage. All Clean assesses the surface before selecting any pressure setting.

How long does a patio cleaning job typically take?

Most residential patios in the Asheville area take between one and three hours from setup to final inspection. Larger patios, heavily stained surfaces, or those with intricate paver patterns take longer. The homeowner gets a realistic time estimate during the free on-site quote, not after the crew arrives.

What is the difference between pressure washing and soft washing for patios?

Pressure washing uses high-force water to remove surface grime and organic growth. Soft washing uses lower water pressure combined with a biodegradable cleaning solution that does the heavy work chemically rather than mechanically. Soft washing is the right method for delicate surfaces and is better at killing mold and algae at the root rather than just blasting the surface.

Do I need to do anything to prepare my patio before the crew arrives?

Move any furniture, potted plants, or loose items off the patio surface before the appointment. The crew will handle the rest. If items are too heavy to move alone, let David know during the quote conversation. Cleared surfaces allow the technician to work without interruption and produce a cleaner, more consistent result.
