Frequently Asked Pressure Washing Questions

Q.  What is the safest way to clean my Vinyl siding?

A. Low-Pressure is the safest way to clean Vinyl siding. Low-Pressure and the proper cleaning solution is far more    effective and efficient then using pressure to clean Vinyl siding. Pressure can cause all sorts of damage like Zorro  marks on the siding, as well as water intrusion. The proper cleaning solution kills the root of the mold and mildew.  While using just pressure will only remove what you see on the surface, leaving the roots to grow back quickly.

 

Q. When is the best time of year to have my house washed?

A. A Low-Pressure House Wash here in Charlotte NC can be performed almost any time of year. As long as  temperatures are above 40 degrees we can clean the Algae, mildew, mold off your home. Warmer temperatures do  have a positive effect on the cleaning solutions allowing quicker dwell times to clean. It should be noted that gutter  whitening does not work unless the temperatures are around 70 degrees, because we use a different solution for this  service and the solution goes dormant in the colder temperatures.

 

Q. What is Gutter Whitening?

A. This is when we remove the tiger stripes and black oxidation from the face of the gutters. This is not included in          your normal house wash service and is a separate service. This service is only offered when the temperatures are    70    degrees or above. The mold, mildew and algae are cleaned off the gutters with the normal house wash service.

Q. Is House Washing harmful to my landscaping?

A. I have herd many stories of landscaping being ruined by so called “Pros” from either using the wrong cleaning solutions or just using to much pressure, so this a great question. We use a environmentally friendly soap that will not harm your landscaping. We also have a process of continually watering all landscaping around the areas to be cleaned. We do this before during and after the cleaning to assure landscape safety.
