Our Patio and Deck Cleaning Process

1. We inspect your deck or patio to identify material types, problem areas, and specific stains requiring treatment.
2. Our technicians carefully prepare the work area, protecting surrounding landscaping, outdoor furniture, and sensitive plants from cleaning solution or runoff.
3. Using specialized soft wash equipment, we apply a biodegradable pre-treatment solution that begins breaking down organic matter, stains, and embedded dirt.
4. For wooden surfaces, we utilize cleaning formulations specifically designed to penetrate and lift deep stains without damaging wood fibres or stripping natural oils.
5. Stone, concrete, and paver surfaces receive cleaning solutions that dissolve buildup without etching or eroding the material.
6. Our technicians may use gentle agitation for stubborn stains or heavily soiled areas, always using appropriate tools for the specific surface material.
7. All surfaces receive a thorough, low-pressure rinse with filtered water that removes loosened debris and cleaning solutions without causing erosion or damage.
8. The entire area is inspected to ensure complete cleaning, and spot treatments are applied as needed for any remaining problem areas.
9. Before completing the service, we verify that all surrounding landscaping and property features are protected and returned to their original condition.

FAQs About Deck and Patio Cleaning

How Often Should Decks and Patios Be Cleaned in Chilliwack?

Most Chilliwack homes benefit from professional patio and deck cleaning once or twice per year. Spring cleaning helps remove winter buildup before the outdoor entertaining season, while fall cleaning prepares surfaces for the rainy season.

Can Regular Cleaning Extend the Life of My Deck or Patio?

Yes. Professional deck and patio cleaning removes harmful organic growth and contaminants that can break down surface materials over time. Regular cleaning prevents the deterioration of wood fibres, concrete erosion, and permanent staining, potentially adding years to the functional lifespan of your outdoor living spaces.

Why is Soft Washing Better Than Pressure Washing for Decks and Patios?

Soft washing provides superior results for deck and patio surfaces by eliminating contaminants without physical damage. Traditional pressure washing can splinter wood, erode mortar between pavers, remove sealants, and force water into materials that shouldn’t be saturated. Our soft wash approach kills organic growth at the root while gently removing stains, preserving the integrity of your deck or patio materials.

Will Your Cleaning Products Harm My Plants or Lawn?

No. Ocean Softwash uses environmentally friendly cleaning solutions that are biodegradable and safe for surrounding landscaping when applied properly. Our technicians take specific precautions to protect plants and grass around the work area, including pre-rinsing sensitive vegetation and covering certain plants when necessary.

Will Cleaning Remove the Colour from My Composite Decking?

No. Our soft wash approach is specifically formulated to clean composite decking materials without causing colour fading or surface damage.

How Long Does Professional Deck and Patio Cleaning Take?

A thorough cleaning for average-sized decks and patios typically takes 3-5 hours, depending on the size, material, condition, and accessibility of the surfaces. Heavily stained areas or those with significant organic growth may require additional time to ensure complete restoration. We schedule appropriate time blocks for each job to ensure thorough cleaning without rushing the process.

What Weather Conditions Are Best for Deck and Patio Cleaning?

Ideal conditions for patio and deck cleaning include dry weather with moderate temperatures. We typically avoid scheduling during freezing temperatures, heavy rain, or extremely hot days to ensure optimal results and safety.

Can You Remove Specific Stains Like Rust, Grease, or Plant Stains?

Yes. Ocean Softwash utilizes specialized cleaning solutions designed to target specific types of stains commonly found on outdoor surfaces, such as rust, grease, or organic stains, without damaging the underlying surface material.

How Should I Prepare My Property for Deck and Patio Cleaning?

Before your scheduled service, please remove furniture, planters, grills, and personal items from the areas to be cleaned. Secure pets indoors during the service, and inform us of any specific concerns like sensitive plants or areas requiring special attention.

Does Ocean Softwash Clean Commercial Patios and Decks?

Yes. Our teams are equipped to handle restaurant patios, hotel decks, multi-family housing common areas, and other commercial outdoor spaces with the same attention to detail and environmental responsibility as our residential services.
