It’s important to keep the exterior of your home or business just as clean as the interior. You might first think of using pressure washing to achieve this cleanliness for your exterior surfaces, but there are a few things you should know about this cleaning method before you use it to clean all your exterior surfaces.

What You Should Know about Pressure Washing

  • An effective method for removing stubborn buildup and stains: If you have stubborn stains or buildup of dirt, grime, or mold on your retaining walls or driveway, pressure washing can provide a great way to blast away the contaminants with high water pressure.
  • Not the best solution for all surfaces: Though pressure washing can easily blast away contaminants on your exterior surfaces, this may not be the safest cleaning method for every exterior surface around your home or building. More delicate surfaces, like roofing, siding, or gutters, can be easily damaged by the high water pressure. The high pressure could create dents, discoloration, or other blemishes and damage to the more delicate surfaces. You will want to use soft washing for those types of surfaces instead.
  • Leave it to the professionals: Even if you can find a rental pressure washer at the store, it’s always best to leave the pressure washing to the professionals, like us at ClearView Window Cleaning and SoftWash. We have the necessary training to accurately determine which surfaces can handle pressure washing and ensure that the job is done correctly and safely without any issues.
