How to Clean a Pergola? Three Simple Tips to Maintain your Pergola in Tip Top Shape in Central Florida
Our beloved pergolas date back to centuries ago in Egypt and ancient Rome. They come in various sizes and can be made up of different materials like wood, vinyl, and aluminum. From friendly dinners to a relaxing oasis, the purpose of a pergola can go far beyond just aesthetic appeal.
The most beautiful part about owning a pergola is that pergolas do not require too much hard work to maintain. In fact, it doesn’t require much work at all. Here are three easy ways to make sure you keep your pergola in tip top shape all year round.
Water Pressure: Whether your pergola is made of wood or aluminum, a nice bit of water pressure will do the trick. A household hose and a high pressure spout can do wonders to maintain the appearance of your pergola. The water will help eliminate dirt and debris and will prevent a need for deeper cleaning.
Mild Detergent: The next step after water pressure maintenance would be to select a mild detergent for your pergola. After selecting a mild detergent, mix some with warm water, grab a cloth and a toothbrush and begin tackling the dirt. Aluminum pergolas are easier to clean and more durable than other materials but the beauty is that all pergolas are easy to clean and maintain. Whether you decide to hang plants or decorate the pergola with a fire pit underneath, mild detergent with soap and water will do wonders for keeping your pergola looking stunning.
Mind your Materials: On a final note, mind your materials when cleaning a pergola. Remember not to use anything abrasive to clean your pergola so that you do not scratch or damage surfaces. Cleaning your outdoor living space should be stress free and simple to do. Pergolas are no different.
