How to Jet Wash Your Property: DIY Tips and the Benefits of Professional Jet Washing

Jet washing, also known as pressure washing, is a powerful cleaning method that removes dirt, grime, mold, algae, and stains from various surfaces. Whether you’re looking to refresh your driveway, patio, or even the exterior of your home, jet washing can make a dramatic difference in appearance. In this guide, we’ll cover the basics of jet washing yourself and explain why Mr Clever Clean’s professional jet washing service is the best way to achieve a pristine, long-lasting clean.

Why Use Jet Washing?

Jet washing is ideal for tackling tough stains and built-up dirt that regular cleaning can’t handle. Here are some of the benefits of using jet washing:

Enhanced Curb Appeal: Jet washing removes stains, mold, and algae, leaving surfaces looking fresh and well-maintained.
Increased Safety: By removing slippery substances like moss and algae, jet washing helps improve the safety of walkways and driveways.
Extended Surface Lifespan: Regular jet washing prevents damage from dirt, mold, and contaminants, helping to preserve surfaces for years to come.
Versatility: Jet washing is effective on a variety of surfaces, including concrete, brick, wood, stone, and more.

DIY Jet Washing: Step-by-Step Guide

If you’re interested in jet washing your property yourself, follow these steps for effective cleaning. Keep in mind that using a pressure washer requires caution to avoid damaging surfaces.

1. Gather Your Equipment

Pressure washer with appropriate nozzles
Safety gear, including goggles, gloves, and sturdy footwear
Cleaning solution (if needed, based on the surface)
Broom for sweeping away loose debris

2. Choose the Right Nozzle and Pressure

Select a nozzle that suits the surface you’re cleaning. A wider nozzle is gentler and suitable for softer surfaces, while a narrow nozzle provides more force for tougher surfaces like concrete.
Adjust the pressure settings according to the surface; high pressure is great for driveways but can damage delicate surfaces like wood.

3. Prepare the Area

Remove any outdoor furniture, plants, or other objects from the area. Sweep the surface to clear away loose dirt, leaves, and debris.

4. Apply a Cleaning Solution (if needed)

For heavily soiled areas, applying a surface-specific cleaning solution can help break down dirt, oil, and mold. Allow it to sit for a few minutes before washing.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to avoid using solutions that could harm plants or surrounding areas.

5. Start Jet Washing

Begin at one end of the area and work methodically, moving in slow, even strokes. Maintain a consistent distance from the surface (typically 6–12 inches) to avoid uneven cleaning or damage.
For horizontal surfaces, work in a pattern from top to bottom to ensure a thorough, even clean.

6. Rinse and Inspect

Once finished, rinse the area with clean water to remove any remaining solution or residue. Inspect the area for missed spots and go over any remaining dirt as needed.
