Freshen Up Your Outdoor Stairs the Easy Way

Outdoor steps get a ton of use. Between foot traffic, changing weather, and everyday grime, it doesn’t take long for them to start looking worn down — or worse, slippery. Keeping your exterior stairs clean isn’t just about looks; it’s also about safety.

A super simple and effective way to get them looking like new? Power washing. At Patriot Power Wash, we’re committed to doing the job right. We use surface-safe pressure settings and smart cleaning techniques that leave your stairs spotless without causing damage.

Getting Ready for a Stair Cleaning

Once you book a power wash with our crew, a little prep can make things go smoothly:

●      Clear the area – Move any furniture, flowerpots, or decorations out of the way so we can easily access the stairs.

●      Protect nearby spaces – If you have garden beds, shrubs, or delicate items near your steps, cover them with a tarp or plastic sheet to keep them safe from overspray.

●      Give it a quick sweep – Brushing away leave sand loose debris makes for a more efficient clean.

●      Check for surface issues – If your stairs have chipped paint or cracks, now’s the perfect time to make any small repairs before we arrive.

Once that’s done, we’ll handle the rest — from applying biodegradable cleaners to adjusting pressure settings based on your stair material.

Keeping Your Stairs Clean Year-Round

Power washing makes a huge difference, but a little maintenance between cleanings helps extend the results:

●      Sweep regularly – A quick brush every week or so can prevent grime buildup.

●      Inspect for wear and tear – Look out for loose nails, cracks, or slippery spots.

●      Ensure proper drainage – Water should flow away from your stairs — pooling can cause algae, mildew, and surface damage.
