Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is pressure washing?
Pressure washing is a cleaning method that utilizes pressurized water to remove dirt, grime, mold, mildew, and other contaminants from various surfaces such as driveways, decks, siding, and concrete.
2. What surfaces can be pressure washed?
Pressure washing can be used on a wide range of surfaces, including sidewalks, fences, roofs, brick, stone, wood, vinyl, and metal. However, it's essential to consider the material and surface condition before applying pressure, as some delicate surfaces may require lower pressure or alternative cleaning methods.
3. What is soft washing?
Soft washing is a cleaning technique that involves using low-pressure water combined with specialized cleaning solutions to remove mold, algae, mildew, and other stains from delicate surfaces like roofs, stucco, wood siding, and painted surfaces. This method is ideal for surfaces that cannot withstand the high-pressure used in pressure washing.
4. When should I choose pressure washing over soft washing?
Pressure washing is typically suitable for surfaces that are more durable and can handle higher pressure, such as concrete driveways, brick walls, and metal surfaces. Soft washing is a better option for more delicate surfaces like roofs, painted surfaces, and wooden decks, where excessive pressure could cause damage.
5. Do I need to be present during the pressure washing or soft washing process?
It's not always necessary for homeowners to be present during pressure washing or softwashing, as long as the service provider can access the necessary water supply and given clear instructions for the areas to be cleaned. However, it's recommended that homeowners are present for any initial consultations and to address any concerns or questions during the process.
6. How often should I have pressure washing or soft washing done?
The frequency of pressure washing or softwashing depends on various factors, including the type of surface, local weather conditions, and the level of dirt and contaminants present. Generally, it is recommended to have these services done annually or as needed to maintain the cleanliness and appearance of your property.
