Cleaning the entire outside area of your home can be daunting. Houses are built with various materials that must be handled differently and accumulate dust, dirt, algae, mold, and mildew differently. That filth sinks into concrete walls differently than how it accumulates on wood and the equipment and chemicals you'd use to clean those surfaces differ from how glass needs to be treated. Roofs also vary widely and require a unique approach depending on what they're made of, how they're sloped, and what type of environment they sit in.
After analyzing the house and forming a plan for what treatments to use and where Skibob's Honey Doo technicians get washing, we'll likely use a pressure washer for harder substances like concrete and hardwood surfaces. The machines we use spray pressurized water, which pounds a targeted surface, dislodging dirt and grime accumulated over the years. It's especially effective on porous surfaces like concrete, where dirt sinks into the surface in ways a homeowner can't reach just by scrubbing. We can also add certain cleaning solutions, removing oil and grease better than water alone.
Soft washing involves a similar technique as pressure washing but utilizes a lower-pressure nozzle, so the water doesn't spray out as aggressively. That water is mixed with various cleaning solutions to target problems like algae, stains, bacteria, and packed-on dirt. While pressure washing is great on surfaces like your driveway, walls, and awnings, soft washing is better for delicate surfaces like glass windows, shingled roofs, and softer wood.
If you're considering renting a pressure washer and cleaning your house as a DIY project, one thing to consider is that there are rules and regulations governing the process. That's why it's best to let a professional handle your home cleaning. For instance, the wastewater accumulated from pressure and soft washing must be properly disposed of so it doesn't get into the waterways or harm aquatic animals. Failure to do so can result in costly fines. You also have to ensure you aren't blasting leaves, clippings, or branches over into storm drains, causing them to clog. And lastly, the machines themselves can be dangerous, spraying with such a force that they can cause damage or injury if you aren't careful where you point them. Common injuries include deep space infections, multi-layer soft injuries, and the possibility of compartment syndrome.
