But the same salty air that makes a beachside walk so refreshing is quietly working against your home's exterior.

Power Washing Painted Surfaces: When to Avoid High Pressure

Pressure washing can make a tired exterior look noticeably cleaner, but painted surfaces need a different approach from bare concrete. The force that removes grime from a driveway can also strip paint, damage timber and push water behind cladding.

Salt deposits, windblown san
