Pressure Washing vs Soft Washing vs Power Washing?
-
These terms are thrown around in our industry quite a bit. Our house washing process is always performed with a "soft washing" technique to safely clean your homes exterior. The water/soap coming out of our nozzles is very gentle by the time it reaches your homes exterior. Concrete/retaining walls/brick and other hard surfaces may require pressure to get stubborn stains and dirt to come up. The most important thing to know is that we will always use the least amount of pressure or chemicals to get the job done right.

Are your chemicals safe? ​
-
We use industry standard cleaning products and always use them according to the manufacturers recommendations. One of our common cleaners is chlorine, just like in pools. This is an essential cleaner for organic matter such as mold/mildew/algae that we frequently encounter. We always take care to ensure your plants and sensitive materials around your home are rinsed with fresh water. If you are absolutely against the use of chlorine we would be happy to discuss a few other chemical options available to you and their costs.

What is different about your equipment from the power washer I can buy at Home Depot?​
-
Our system allows us to work quickly and provide a more consistent clean depending on the surfaces we are washing. We have the ability to control our water pressure and chemical concentration for the specific application. Also our special nozzles allow us to work almost exclusively from the ground when cleaning houses​. We practice a "soft washing" technique which is completely safe for exterior of your home.

How often should we wash our house? ​
-
Generally we recommend having your home washed every 2-3 years. Factors such as the trees around your home, the material your home is made of, how close you are to major roadways and positioning of your house in relation to the sun all play into how dirty a surface may be. Call us today and we can discuss this more.
