When it comes to the upkeep of your home, driveway and walkway cleaning may not be something you’ve spent a lot of time thinking about. But walkway cleaning is a valuable way to protect your investment in your residential property and improve your home’s curb appeal.
Benefits of Walkway Cleaning
Over time, mold, mildew, moss, and algae may start to grow on your walkways, creating a slippery, unattractive, and unhealthy environment. But even if you don’t see such obvious signs that walkway cleaning is needed, regular upkeep is important for keeping your walkways in good condition, protecting your investment in your home, and preventing the need for more serious repairs.
Walkway Cleaning Methods
While regularly sweeping off debris is a good start, you should plan on performing a deeper cleaning on your walkways once or twice per year. The method for cleaning your walkways will depend on the walkway material, as durable concrete sidewalks can be pressure washed, but more delicate materials like brick can be chipped or damaged by the highly pressurized stream of water. For these walkways, a gentler walkway cleaning via soft washing is a better choice.
Instead of using an intense jet of water for your walkway cleaning, soft washing combines water at a lower pressure with an eco-friendly cleaning solution, thoroughly cleaning your walkways and preventing the re-growth of mold and algae.
