Pressure Washing FAQs

Q: What surfaces can be safely pressure washed?
A: Pressure washing is ideal for hard surfaces like driveways, sidewalks, patios, and decks. It effectively removes dirt, grime, and stains from concrete, stone, and wood. However, it’s not recommended for delicate surfaces like certain types of siding, roofing, or painted surfaces, which may require a gentler approach like soft washing.

Q: Can pressure washing remove moss, mold, and mildew?
A: Yes, pressure washing can effectively remove moss, mold, and mildew from hard surfaces. However, for delicate areas like roofs and siding, soft washing may be a safer alternative to prevent damage while still eliminating these contaminants.

Q: How often should I have my property pressure washed?
A: It depends on your environment and the surfaces being cleaned. Generally, pressure washing once a year is sufficient for most properties, but areas prone to mold, mildew, or heavy dirt buildup may benefit from more frequent cleaning.

Q: Will pressure washing remove lime buildup?
A: Pressure washing can help remove surface lime buildup, especially on concrete and stone. However, stubborn lime deposits may require additional treatments, such as specialized cleaners or descalers.

Q: Is pressure washing safe for all surfaces?
A: While pressure washing is effective for many surfaces, it can damage more delicate materials like certain sidings, roofs, and painted surfaces. Always consult with a professional to determine the best cleaning method for each surface.

Soft Washing FAQs

Q: What is soft washing, and how does it differ from pressure washing?
A: Soft washing uses a low-pressure spray combined with specialized cleaning solutions to safely clean surfaces without causing damage. It’s particularly effective for delicate surfaces like roofs, siding, and painted areas, where traditional pressure washing might cause harm.

Q: Can soft washing remove moss, mold, and mildew?
A: Yes, soft washing is highly effective at removing moss, mold, and mildew from delicate surfaces. The cleaning solutions used in soft washing not only clean but also help to kill and prevent the regrowth of these organisms.

Q: Is soft washing safe for my plants and landscaping?
A: Yes, the cleaning solutions used in soft washing are typically eco-friendly and safe for plants and landscaping. However, professionals take care to protect your greenery during the cleaning process.

Q: How long do the results of soft washing last?
A: Soft washing can keep your surfaces clean for up to a year or longer, depending on environmental factors. It not only cleans but also helps to prevent the immediate regrowth of moss, mold, and mildew.

Q: Can soft washing remove dirt and lime buildup?
A: Soft washing is effective at removing dirt and organic buildup, including lime deposits, from delicate surfaces. For tougher lime stains, a professional may use a combination of soft washing and specific treatments to ensure complete removal.
