Best Patio Cleaning in Forest Acres, SC
April 8, 2026
This patio in Forest Acres needed a little TLC, Lakeside Softwash from Chapin, SC performed a gentle but thorough softwash to clean every surface. The patio floor, which is travertine, had accumulated dirt and grime over time. The surrounding brick border, steps, and landing pads also needed attention, as did the brick under the gazebo and the white brick patio walls. All of the patio furniture was cleaned as part of the project.
We did not use any pressure on these surfaces, so there was no chance of damaging the travertine, brick, or the furniture. For delicate materials like travertine and older brick, avoiding high-pressure washing is important, so a softwash approach was the right choice for this job. The goal was to remove soil and organic buildup while protecting the integrity of the materials.
The process began with applying a cleaning solution evenly across all of the treated areas. Applying the solution allows it to penetrate and loosen the dirt and grime without aggressive scrubbing or high-pressure water. After the solution had time to work, we rinsed the surfaces to wash the loosened contaminants away. This combination of solution application and rinsing proved to be both effective and safe for the various patio surfaces.
Because no pressure was used, the brick and travertine were not subject to the erosion or pitting that can occur with pressure washing. The patio furniture was also cleaned carefully, with the same softwash method, so fabrics, finishes, and delicate parts were not at risk. Cleaning under the gazebo and along the brick walls helped restore a consistent look across the whole outdoor living area.
The result is a patio that looks cleaner and is ready for use. Removing the dirt and grime makes the space more inviting, and it helps prevent future buildup that can lead to staining or biological growth. Now the customer can get back to entertaining and enjoying his summer with family and friends, using the patio, steps, and seating areas without concern.
