Complete Guide to Pressure Washing Brick

Pressure washing brick is a great way to remove built-up dirt, grime, and stains from bricks. You’ll need to use the right settings on your pressure washer to avoid damaging your brick, and you’ll also need to take care when cleaning around windows and doors. Follow these tips and you’ll have your brick looking like new in no time!

  1. Choose the right pressure washer settings. 

The key to safely cleaning brick with a pressure washer is to use the right settings. Avoid using a high pressure setting, as this can damage the brick. Instead, opt for a lower pressure setting and hold the nozzle about 12 inches from the surface of the brick. The pressure washer settings you use will depend on the type of brick you have. If you’re not sure, start with the lowest setting and work your way up.

  1. Take care when cleaning around windows and doors.   

When pressure washing brick, be careful not to spray directly at windows and doors. The high pressure of the water can damage the glass or sealant around these areas. Instead, hold the nozzle at an angle so that the water hits the brick next to the window or door. The high-pressure stream of water can damage these surfaces. Instead, clean around them by angling the nozzle away from these areas.

  1. Let the pressure washer do the work.   

Don’t try to scrub the brick with the pressure washer nozzle. Let the water do the work for you. The high-pressure stream of water will do a good job of cleaning the brick on its own. Just hold the nozzle in one spot and let the water work its magic.

  1. Rinse the brick with clean water.    

Once you’ve let the pressure washer do its job, it’s time to rinse off the brick with clean water. This will remove any soap residue and debris that the pressure washer may have missed. Use a gentle setting on your pressure washer for this step.

  1. Allow the brick to dry completely.      

It’s important to allow the brick to dry completely after pressure washing it. If you don’t, you could end up with water stains on your brick. Allow the brick to air dry or use a towel to dry it off. This will help prevent any staining or damage to the brick.

  1. Inspect the brick for any damage.       

After pressure washing, take a close look at the brick. If you see any cracks or chips, you’ll want to repair them before proceeding. Pressure washing can cause existing damage to become worse, so it’s best to fix any problems before continuing.
