WARNING

If you do notice any cracks in your exterior brick, it's vitally important to repair them as soon as possible before cleaning.











Additional Tips to Keep Brick Clean Longer

Remember to inspect your bricks several times a year for any cracks or damage—preventative maintenance is key for long-lasting bricks. Stay consistent with your biannually (or more) brick cleaning schedule, especially indoors. Regularly vacuum off the dust from interior brick to keep it sanitized in living spaces, and for exterior brick, maintain overgrown moss or pesky plant growth.

If you live in a historical home, pressure washing is likely not the safest way to treat this precious exterior. Older, historical homes made with brick feature mortar that is softer than the mortar that is produced today. This style of aged brick requires specialty cleaning, which is best left to professionals who can properly treat it.


 Brick Flooring Review: Pros and Cons

Brick is one of the oldest and most common building materials in the world, first developed as a substitute for natural stone. Traditionally, brick is made from earthen clays, shaped into rectangular blocks, then dried or fired to harden them for constructing walls or paving surfaces. The bricks used for flooring are known as clay pavers, and the type used for indoor applications are comprised of several different clays, including kaolin (China clay) that gives it a finer, denser texture that makes for a more attractive floor. Brick flooring pavers also include shale and iron in the composition to make them harder. Clay brick pavers are typically shaped the same as wall brick, but they are thinner, anywhere from 1/4 inch to about an inch thick. They are best suited for installation over concrete slabs on ground floors, since the weight is too great for a wood-framed flooring system to support. Brick flooring is very durable, but it requires sealing to protect it from stains, and its rustic appearance is not a good fit for every home design. And brick flooring is very hard, which makes it a poor choice if coziness is the goal.

Book soon. We recommend booking as soon as you know you're coming. Camano Island doesn't have any major hotel chains, so spots fill up fast.

Coordinate with friends. A lot of the rentals have great spaces for groups, so get a beach house for your group to save some money (and maximize fun!).

Stay the whole weekend. We know you're super busy, but we'd love for you to be there the whole weekend. If you can, book a place for Friday through Sunday and get in as much wonderful PNW time as you can.

ressure washers can be modified to produce a lower PSI, making them ideal for soft washing. It is perfectly safe to use a pressure washer as your soft wash system as long as you have the correct tips and working knowledge to do the work correctly.  The high heat of a power washer can be harsher on surfaces and on your plants and garden. Since you're not cutting through any grease or tar, the cold water will be fine.
