Exterior Cleaning, Soft Washing and Pressure Washing FAQ's

Are the detergents you use safe for kids, pets and landscaping?

YES, our detergents are non toxic and safe for your family, pets and landscapes. All landscaping is rinsed down before, during and after the wash as an additional preventative step. We simply do not have issues with any landscaping. We do ask that you remove any small potted plants/flowers from the work area as they are more sensitive than permanent landscaping.

Do I need to be home while services are being performed?

NO, we don’t require anyone to be home at the time of service as long as all your windows/doors are closed and water is turned on for the season so we can connect to your outside faucet. After the service is complete we will invoice you for payment.

Do you use safe low pressure to clean my vinyl siding, painted siding or composite decking/rails?

YES, our process, also known as soft washing, uses special detergents to soften, release and kill the mold on your siding, trim, screens, windows, composite decking/rails so that it can be washed off safely using low pressure. This technique virtually eliminates the chance of damage or water being blasted behind siding causing additional mold issues. This system also allows us to safely remove mold from painted homes and trim without removing any paint.

Will the power washing affect my windows? Will it clean them?

Our detergents are formulated with special water softeners to prevent spotting of windows. Many customers tell us how clean their windows look after the wash is complete but our service is not a replacement for professional window cleaning/squeegee job. We recommend scheduling any window washing for after we have completed your power washing. We will be happy to give you a quote for window cleaning.

Will the power washing remove the black mold from my gutter faces and soffits? What are the vertical black lines on my gutter faces?

YES, when we wash your home we clean all gutter faces and soffits to remove black mold, speckled mold etc. Many times your gutters may have remaining faint vertical lines (“tiger striping”) which is caused by mineral deposits bonded to the gutter surface via electrostatic charge. We offer a special gutter whitening treatment to remove this striping for an additional charge.

How often do most people power wash their homes siding?

Depending on location and environmental conditions, most people wash their home every 1-3 years.
