The secret to hoa & apartment pressure washing for stucco is using the right method, not the most pressure. In Greater Upper Marlboro, MD, we match the cleaner and pressure to the surface so it comes out clean without damage. With stucco, the right approach is soft wash.
Method and pressure
Cleaning solution: A diluted house-wash solution with surfactant, given time to dwell, then a gentle rinse.
Cleaning stucco safely
Traditional stucco is porous and holds moisture, which is why it streaks green and black in humid and shaded spots. Hairline cracks are common, and high pressure can force water into them or break off the finish coat.
Avoid: High pressure, which can etch the texture, blow out patches and push water behind the wall.
How often: Every 1-2 years.
