Why Not Just DIY? The Problem with “Zebra Striping”

One of the most common issues we see with DIY patio cleaning is something called zebra striping. It happens when small residential pressure washers (or poor technique) leave behind light and dark streaks on the concrete. Instead of a fresh, even finish, you’re stuck with ugly stripes that look worse than before.

Here’s an example of zebra striping:👉

This happens because the water pressure isn’t evenly distributed, or the operator moves too quickly/unevenly. Not only does it look bad, but it can also damage the surface over time.

The Professional Difference

At RC Bros Pressure Washing, we use commercial-grade surface cleaners that apply even pressure across the entire surface. This means no stripes, no missed spots, and no damage—just a perfectly clean, refreshed patio you’ll love using again.

Whether it’s for summer BBQs, family gatherings, or just relaxing outdoors, a clean patio makes your whole home feel more inviting.
