Soft washing introduces mild detergents to clean your home without high pressure which may cause potential damage. The process is washing with water, detergent, and soap. Finally once clean, rinsed with water.
Vinyl siding as it ages, it starts oxidizing from the sun. Here in South Carolina, we experience about 100 days a year around 100 degrees. The vinyl siding will start gaining a chalky appearance as it ages. Amateur washers or homeowners that utilize big box store washers and try it theirselves, typically get too close with wrong nozzle sizes and use too much pressure which causes the “stripping” appearance afterwards.
Yes it can. The chalky appearance from aging can be removed in many cases with a chemical that was specifically engineered to do that. Sometimes it can be done by a 12v application process with or without brushing.
Yes they can. We wash many commercial and residential awnings that get mold or algae on them. Special care is taken in the process not to rip the fabric in the cleaning process.
No it doesn’t raise the water bill. Professional companies will use less water than a homeowner trying to wash their own house with the hose.
There are several variables that go into that equation: how much sunlight hits the house. How many plants and trees are around the house. Good water drainage away after a storm. How close other homes are to yours. Typically most of our customers do it once a year, but some choose to do it twice a year.
Washing your home not only increases its curb appeal, but also helps prevent damage from mold, algae, mildew, and insects.
It can, if done improperly or by someone without any experience. Most of the time when we see damage to concrete, it’s in the form of etching. Someone has tried to clean it with wrong equipment and left stripes in the concrete.
It can, if done improperly or by someone without any experience. Similar to concrete, too much pressure from wrong nozzles will scar the surface on the wood and leave permanent damage.
Yes roofs can be washed as well. Detergents can be applied from a soft washing applicator to safely and effectively remove the mold.
