Your housewashing guide - what is involved

In this housewashing guide, we'll delve into what this process involves, so you can better understand the benefits it brings to your home.

Assessment and Preparation

Before the actual cleaning begins, we conduct a thorough assessment of the property. This includes identifying any delicate or vulnerable areas that require special attention. For instance, areas with loose paint, delicate landscaping, or fragile surfaces may need extra care during the process.

Cleaning Solutions

The next step is to prepare the cleaning solution. This can vary depending on the specific needs of your home’s exterior. In some cases, we use eco-friendly detergents to break down dirt, mold, and algae, while in others, high-pressure water may suffice.

Application

We then carefully apply the cleaning solution to the surfaces, ensuring even coverage. Soft washing, for more delicate surfaces, uses a low-pressure spray that relies on the cleaning solution to do the heavy lifting. In contrast, we may use high-pressure washing for tougher surfaces like concrete or brick.

Agitation and Dwell Time

For effective cleaning, we leave the solution dwell on the surfaces for a specified period. During this time, it penetrates and loosens dirt, grime, mold, and algae. In some cases, gentle brushing or scrubbing may be necessary to agitate particularly stubborn stains.

Rinsing

After the dwell time, the surfaces are thoroughly rinsed. We often use high-pressure water to remove the cleaning solution and dislodged contaminants. This step ensures that your home is left clean and residue-free.

Spot Treatment and Stain Removal

For any remaining stains or stubborn spots, we may deploy spot treatment. Specialized cleaning techniques and equipment are used to target these areas, leaving your home looking pristine.

Protection and Prevention

Once your home is clean, we may be able to offer additional services, such as applying protective coatings or treatments. These can help prevent future contamination and prolong the cleanliness of your home.

Final Inspection

Finally, we conduct a final inspection to ensure that we didn’t miss any areas and that the cleaning has met the desired standards. This step ensures that your home is left in its best possible condition.

We hope this housewashing guide shows that this is a multi-step process that requires knowledge, experience, and the right equipment. It’s not just about blasting away dirt; it’s about restoring the beauty of your home while protecting it from the elements. Whether you have a vinyl cladding, brick, stucco, or any other type of exterior, professional housewashing is tailored to your specific needs.
