Sandwash Cleaning & Wax in Phuket — ฿100/sqm, Poolsides & Car Parks

Moss on a sandwash floor — a safety issue, not just looks

Sandwash is the go-to floor for outdoor spaces in the tropics — poolsides, terraces, garden paths and car parks — because the rough pebble surface resists slipping and stands up to sun and rain. But that same rough surface is a perfect foothold for moss and mould. Once Phuket’‘s rainy season arrives, a poolside that goes wet and dry all day develops a thin film of moss the eye can barely see, yet slippery enough to genuinely put someone on the ground. The most at-risk are children running around the pool and older adults. In a rental villa especially, one guest slipping and falling is a problem many times bigger than a year’’s worth of floor care.

Scrubbing it yourself with a brush only reaches the top layer, because the moss roots down in the crevices between the pebbles where brush bristles can’’t get. Within a few weeks the green marks are back in the same place.

High-pressure washing + wax coating — exterior floors need both steps

First the team uses a high-pressure washer to clean lane by lane, zone by zone. The force of the water reaches every crevice between the pebbles, driving out moss, dirt marks and standing-water stains from the deep grooves that hand-scrubbing can’’t touch (see the process in action in the video above). The second step, which many companies skip, is finishing with a wax coating. The wax layer blocks new grime from setting in fast, makes the pebble colour look fresher, dries water faster after rain, and makes the next cleaning round far easier.

Transparent pricing: ฿100/sqm including both the washing and the wax. The real area is measured on-site and the price agreed before starting, every time. The floor is walkable again within the day. Villas, projects and juristic persons wanting a regular round before the rainy season can ask about a package rate.

Exterior floors only — how it differs from indoor marble polishing

Many customers confuse the two services. An easy way to remember: sandwash work is “wash and coat” for exterior floors exposed to sun and rain, using water pressure and wax as the main tools. Indoor marble, granite and tile is “strip and polish” work, using a polishing machine and compound — a completely different set of gear — priced at ฿250/sqm; read the details on the marble floor polishing page. Homes or hotels that need both can have a team come for both in one visit, saving on both scheduling and cost.

We take work all over Phuket, especially villa zones like Cherng Talay, Bang Tao and Mai Khao, where a sandwash floor around the pool is standard in nearly every home. Every job is covered by ฿100,000 damage insurance, and if you’’d like the house itself cared for at the same time, pair it with Big Cleaning on the same day.
