pressure washing

Deep cleaning with pressure washing should occur twice yearly—spring and fall. Weekly dust mopping and monthly wet mopping with diluted ammonia or pH-neutral cleaners maintain appearance between deep cleans and prevent abrasive buildup that accelerates wear.

Pressure washing is safe when limited to 1,500-2,000 PSI with a 25-40 degree nozzle held at least 12-18 inches from the surface. Higher pressures or zero-degree tips can chip or peel the coating, especially along edges and previously damaged areas.

Key indicators include widespread gloss loss in traffic areas, persistent stains that resist cleaning, visible micro-scratching under direct light, and texture changes where the surface feels rougher. These typically appear after 3-5 years in moderate-use residential garages.

Professional assessment identifies subsurface issues invisible to homeowners, provides warranty-covered repair solutions, and ensures proper resealing techniques that maximize coating lifespan. Call (818) 355-3804 for expert spring floor evaluations tailored to Porter Ranch's climate conditions.
