Pressure Washing
1. What is pressure washing?
Pressure washing uses high-pressure water to clean various surfaces, removing dirt, grime, algae, and other contaminants. It’s effective for outdoor cleaning, including driveways, sidewalks, and building exteriors.
2. Can pressure washing damage my property?
When done properly by professionals, pressure washing is safe. However, using too much pressure or improper techniques on delicate surfaces can cause damage. Our team is trained to adjust pressure for each surface type.
3. What surfaces can be pressure washed?
Pressure washing is ideal for concrete, brick, pavers, asphalt, and stone. We can clean driveways, sidewalks, patios, decks, garage floors, and even commercial properties.
4. How often should I pressure wash my driveway?
In Orlando, we recommend pressure washing your driveway once a year to remove built-up dirt, oil stains, and mold, especially considering the humid weather.
5. How long does a pressure washing service take?
The time it takes to pressure wash a property depends on its size and the extent of cleaning required. Typically, residential services take a few hours.

8. Can you clean my roof with pressure washing?
Pressure washing is not recommended for roofs, especially shingles, as it can cause damage. For roofs, we recommend soft washing to safely remove debris and algae.

The results can last anywhere from a few months to a year, depending on factors like weather, humidity, and proximity to trees or other sources of dirt.

Pressure washing is an excellent method for removing graffiti from concrete and brick surfaces. We use special detergents to help break down the paint for easy removal.

Before we arrive, remove any fragile items from the cleaning area, trim plants or shrubs near surfaces being cleaned, and secure pets or children away from the area for safety.
Soft Washing
1. What is soft washing?
Soft washing is a low-pressure cleaning method that uses biodegradable chemicals to safely remove mold, algae, dirt, and other contaminants from surfaces. It’s ideal for delicate surfaces such as roofs and siding.
2. How is soft washing different from pressure washing?
While pressure washing uses high-pressure water, soft washing uses a low-pressure system with a specialized cleaning solution. This makes soft washing safer for delicate surfaces like roofs, wood, and vinyl.
3. Is soft washing safe for my roof?
Yes, soft washing is the safest method for cleaning roofs. It removes algae, moss, and mold without risking damage to shingles or other roofing materials.

Soft washing results typically last 1-3 years, depending on environmental factors like exposure to sun, moisture, and pollutants.

Yes, soft washing is safe for painted surfaces, as it uses gentle water pressure and eco-friendly cleaning solutions, ensuring no damage to the paint.

Soft washing is generally not used for driveways, as pressure washing is more effective at removing heavy dirt and stains. However, soft washing can help with organic growth on concrete surfaces.
