The time consuming process of cleaning your pool deck concrete

Over time, it is inevitable that dirt, debris, and other build-up will accumulate on your pool deck - just as it would on any other outdoor surface. Regular hosing down with a garden hose likely won't be sufficient to remove all of the build-up, due to the lack of water pressure. In contrast, using a power washer with higher water pressure will remove the build-up more effectively, and leave your deck looking clean and new again.

If you have a pool deck, then you know how important it is to keep it clean. Pressure washing is a great way to clean your deck and get rid of any dirt, grime, or other build-up that may have accumulated over time.

Pressure washing your pool deck is a relatively simple process. First, you will need to gather your supplies. You will need a pressure washer, a hose, and a detergent. Once you have your supplies, you will need to connect the pressure washer to a water source.

Once the pressure washer is connected to a water source, you will need to add detergent to the pressure washer. Once the detergent is added, you will need to turn on the pressure washer and start washing the deck. Start at the top of the deck and work your way down. Be sure to use a gentle back and forth motion when pressure washing. It is best to use a surface cleaner to get an even clean.

Once you have finished pressure washing the deck, you will need to rinse it off with clean water. You can do this by attaching the hose to the pressure washer and turning on the water. Allow the water to run over the deck for a few minutes to remove any residual detergent.

Once the deck is rinsed, you can turn off the pressure washer and disconnect it from the water source. You can then allow the deck to air dry.

How long does it take to clean a concrete pool deck?

With a pressure washer that is rated for 2.5 to 3.5 gallons per minute at 3500 PSI a typical pool deck will take a homeowner around 8 hours and you will use around 800 gallons of water. This can put a great deal of stress on your well. A low grade commercial pressure is not made to be ran for significant periods of time and letting of the trigger for more then one minute increases the chances of having your pump fail. A decent "commercial" grade pressure washer from a big box store will cost your around $800.
