Pressure Washing Garages and Outbuildings

Garages and outbuildings need exterior cleaning too. Here's what's involved in keeping them clean and well-maintained.

Garages and outbuildings are often overlooked in exterior cleaning schedules, yet they accumulate the same moss, algae, and grime as any other hard surface on the property. A clean garage or workshop sits well in a generally well-maintained property; a neglected one lets the overall appearance down even when everything else has been freshly cleaned.

Garage forecourts and aprons — the hard-standing area directly in front of the garage — typically take the brunt of oil and fuel drips from parked vehicles. These stains benefit from specialist degreaser treatment combined with pressure washing. The approach is similar to driveway cleaning, using the appropriate products for the surface material and degree of contamination.

Brick or rendered garage walls and outbuilding walls can also be cleaned using soft washing techniques to remove green algae and grime without damaging the surface finish. Gutters on garages and outbuildings also fill with debris and need occasional clearing just like house gutters. Including these structures in your annual exterior maintenance schedule prevents them from becoming an eyesore.
