High-Pressure Cleaning Methods Tile Maintenance Benefits

The core of high-pressure cleaning is to completely remove the dirt, grease, mold and algae embedded in the porous jointing agent and the surface of the brick body. With the right approach, the tiles look exactly the same as the new ones.

High pressure cleaning benefits

Tile maintenance is never just about looking good. I am very sure that a scientific high-pressure cleaning program can save you a lot of follow-up maintenance costs.

• Deep decontamination: The most powerful part of the high-pressure system is that it can completely “dig” out the stubborn dirt and mold that seeps into the jointing agent. That place is a nest of bacteria, and ordinary tools cannot reach it at all.
• Yan value promotion: When the tiles and jointing agent are restored to their original color at the factory, the overall appearance of the property will instantly improve several grades. The best part is that you don’t need to use those strong corrosive chemicals that hurt the tiles.
• Extend the service life: Many owners do not know, sand and moss is actually the surface of the tile “chronic killer”. These impurities will corrode the substrate, and regular cleaning can keep the structural strength of the ceramic tile and avoid the repair that will cost a lot of money in the later period.
• Health and Safety: There is moss growing in the yard that is a hotbed of slipping. High-pressure cleaning can completely eradicate these greasy hidden dangers, not only the environment is more hygienic, but also much more practical.
• Wide applicability: This routine can not only be used indoors, patios, driveway and even roof, but also can be basically handled as long as it is made of ceramic tiles.

High Pressure Cleaning Means

• Hot water high-pressure cleaning: I will definitely go directly to hot water when I encounter heavy oil stains, such as oil stains on the driveway. The effect of heat energy decomposing grease cannot be compared with cold water at all.
• Flat cleaning attachment: The kind of disc with a rotating nozzle. It can ensure that the pressure is evenly distributed, and it will not leave ugly “zebra stripes” on the ground”.
• Low pressure and large flow technology: when I encounter tiles with delicate glaze or thin moss, I will lower the pressure and increase the water flow. It can not only wash away the dirty things, but also not beat the brick surface because of excessive pressure.
• Pretreatment: Before starting the machine, spray a layer of targeted cleaning agent or mold removers. Give them a few minutes to “soak” the dirty things, and then rush them.

Key Points

Many owners want to do it themselves, some principles still need to be heard:

• Pressure regulation is the gate of life: There are many different types of tiles. If the pressure (PSI) is not set right, the destructive power is irreversible. Generally speaking, 1000-1200 PSI is enough for most daily applications, so don’t blindly increase the pressure.
• The importance of professional services: Although you can rent machines, the value of finding professionals is that we know what kind of material should be equipped with what kind of nozzle and medicine. The money for brick exchange is much more expensive than labor.
• Establish a maintenance plan: it doesn’t make much sense to think of washing once in a while. Like a car, making a regular maintenance schedule is the real secret to maintaining the color value and structural strength of the tiles.
