Can You Pressure Wash a Coated Concrete Floor?

You Want to Keep It Clean—But Can You Use a Pressure Washer?

You’ve invested in a professionally coated floor—maybe your garage, driveway, or patio. And now that it’s time for spring cleaning or post-storm maintenance, you’re asking:

“Can I pressure wash this without ruining it?”

Good question—and an important one. Let’s break it down.

Yes, But With Caution: Pressure Washing Coated Concrete Floors

The short answer? Yes—you can pressure wash coated concrete… but you need to do it the right way.

Why You Need to Be Careful

Even tough coatings like polyurea or epoxy can be damaged by:

• Excessive PSI
• Aggressive nozzles
• Concentrated streams
• Close-range blasting

If you blast a high-pressure stream at the surface too closely or with the wrong angle, you risk:

• Etching or dulling the topcoat
• Breaking the bond between coating and concrete
• Creating weak spots where water can get in

Safe Pressure Washing Tips for Coated Surfaces

Use the Right PSI

Stick to 1,200–1,500 PSI for cleaning coated floors. That’s powerful enough to remove grime—without damaging the surface.

Keep a Safe Distance

Hold the pressure washer nozzle at least 12–18 inches from the surface. Don’t focus too long on one spot.

Choose a Wide Spray Tip

Avoid pinpoint nozzles. Use a 25- to 40-degree spray tip for an even clean with less abrasion.

Use Mild Soap If Needed

If you need extra cleaning power, use a gentle concrete-safe detergent—not bleach, degreasers, or acid-based cleaners.

Sweep First

Remove loose debris with a broom or blower before pressure washing. This reduces buildup that can cause streaks or wear.

Low-Maintenance Alternatives

In many cases, your Titan-coated floor may not need pressure washing at all.

• A hose rinse and soft-bristle brush is usually enough
• Use a microfiber mop for indoor coated floors
• Apply a topcoat renewal every few years for a like-new finish

What If Your Floor Already Has Damage?

If your coating has started to peel, flake, or dull from past pressure washing mistakes or other damage—don’t worry. Titan can:

• Repair compromised areas
• Recoat and reseal the surface
• Bring your floor back to its original beauty

Clean Smart, Not Harsh

A coated floor is an investment—and like anything worth protecting, it pays to clean it with care. Done right, pressure washing can help keep your surface looking sharp without sacrificing durability.
