I guess I could maybe imagine paying for that once every other year. But I think people underestimate how damaging pressure washers can be. Lots of folks have torn up their decks thinking they’ve “cleaned” them. People spray pressure washers UP at their house’s siding despite the fact that it is specifically lapped to repel water that is falling DOWN. And while concrete can stand up to a pressure washing, it will begin to develop any cracks you have if you do it frequently.
Yeah pressure washing is a blunt instrument. I pressure washed my deck and it got all splintery. Any sort of surface imperfections will be made worse by pressure washing.
I had a chemistry teacher who would put a chemical formula on the chalkboard and say things like:
“This’ll clean your teeth really well. Once.”
Or
“This’ll make your car go really fast. Once.”
That’s how I think about pressure washing a deck. It looks amazingly clean at first but the damage is there. Maybe sanding after would help. But you can only do that so many times.
