Frequently Asked Pressure Washing Questions - Answered By Palm Street Pressure Washing
What's The Difference Between Soft Washing And Pressure Washing?
Pressure washing and soft washing are both great options for your exterior cleaning needs. Pressure washing utilizes a high powered water spray between 750-30,000 PSI that blasts away dirt and grime that builds up on your exterior surfaces over time. Pressure washing is perfect for concrete, brick, stone, and hardwood surfaces.
However, pressure washing can be dangerous for more fragile surfaces. That's why pressure washing companies tend to offer soft washing or low-pressure washing.
Soft washing is a great option for siding, shingles, and softwood. Soft washing utilizes biodegradable, eco-friendly cleaners that break down mold, mildew, and bacteria on your more fragile surfaces. The cleaners are then washed away with a gentle water-bleach mixture that is applied at 40-80 PSI without endangering your outdoor surfaces.
The best way to know which option is best for you is to contact professional pressure washing in Beaumont, like Palm Street Pressure Washing. Our experts will do a full analysis of your cleaning project and let you know what cleaning option will work best to keep your outdoor surfaces clean and clear.
What Are Those Black Streaks On My Roof?
If you've noticed black streaks on your roof, you've noticed the bacteria gloeocapsa magma. Gloeocapsa magma travels as spores on the wind. Once it lands on your roof, it finds a shaded, cool spot to start growing. As gloeocapsa magma expands, it starts to look like black or dark green streaks on your roof.
The good news is that cleaning away gloeocapsa magma is a fairly simple process. The pressure washing experts at Palm Street Pressure Washing offer professional roof cleaning to fight against the gloeocapsa magma on your roof.
The professional soft washing process will break down the gloeocapsa magma before washing away the remaining spores to leave your roof clean and clear of gloeocapsa magma.
Should I DIY My Pressure Washing Projects?
No! While it may seem like a great idea to engage in DIY pressure washing, the truth is that pressure washing is a very dangerous process. Without proper training and a firm background in pressure washing, the process can lead to breakage and cracking on your outdoor surfaces as well as personal injury.
Hiring a professional doesn't just protect you from damages either. Professional pressure washers are trained to choose the best pressure washing options for your unique project.
