Don't Destroy Your Wood

"Why high pressure is the enemy of wood."

Wood is soft. If you blast it with high pressure (like many amateurs do), you will cause "furring"—where the wood fibers tear and shred. This leaves you with a rough, splintery surface that ruins the wood forever.

At Martin's Pressure Washing, I use a Low-Pressure Restoration Process. I use specialized cleaners to lift the dirt and kill the mold, and then gently rinse it away.

The Secret Step: After cleaning, I apply a "Wood Brightener." This neutralizes the wood, opens the pores, and restores that beautiful, original golden color.

My Wood Cleaning Process

How I restore wood without damaging it.

1. Deep Clean

I apply a professional-grade wood cleaner that dwells on the surface, breaking down gray oxidation, mold, and algae.

2. Soft Rinse

Using low pressure (less than 1000 PSI), I rinse away the grime. This prevents "furring" and keeps the wood smooth.

3. Brighten

I apply a specialized brightener that pH-balances the wood, removing tannin stains and making it look new again.

Wood Restoration FAQ

It depends. My standard wash is designed to remove dirt, mold, and oxidation from the wood itself. It is not a paint stripping service. If you have solid paint that is peeling, the pressure may blow off loose chips, but I do not chemically strip paint as part of a standard cleaning.

No. You must let the wood dry completely before applying stain or sealer. Depending on the weather in Greensboro, I recommend waiting **48 hours** (2 days) of dry weather to ensure the moisture content is low enough for the stain to stick.

That is called "furring." It happens when you use too much pressure, causing the wood fibers to tear and stand up. I avoid this by using professional chemical cleaners to do the heavy lifting, allowing me to rinse with very low pressure.

Yes, absolutely. After cleaning, I apply a neutralizing wood brightener. This balances the pH of the wood, opens the pores for staining, and restores the natural golden color of the lumber.
