Frequently Asked Pressure Washing Questions - Answered By Jordan's Exterior Cleaning
They say that knowledge is power, and at Jordan's Exterior Cleaning, our team never stops learning about the newest developments in pressure washing equipment, the latest science on chemically assisted soft washing for house washing and roof cleaning applications, and the science of exterior cleaning. We’re always delighted to fully explain every benefit and each process to our clients and anyone interested in pressure washing in Winston-Salem.
What’s The Difference Between Pressure Washing And Soft Washing?
Pressure washing relies solely on the sheer power of highly pressurized water, while soft washing incorporates the use of cleaning solvent, solutions, and chemicals with low-pressure and no-pressure washing for spectacular results on malleable materials like shingles, siding, and tiles. Different surfaces require different approaches to properly clean and protect them.
The wrong method can be ineffective in removing stains from certain surfaces, and can also result in damage to property, landscaping, and windows. Soft washing is also the new standard of excellence for the roof cleaning of structures with shingled or tiled roofs, and soft wash roof cleaning is now recommended by many roofing material manufacturers, and regularly scheduled soft wash roof cleaning is often required to maintain the warranties on new roofs.
Is That Black Stuff On My Roof Really Not Dirt?
It’s possible that those black stains and streaks are a strain of algae called gloeocapsa magma, but it could also be fungus, mildew, or algae, all of which can be harmful to roofing materials. It’s just an undeniable fact that the extremes of weather in the Piedmont are rough on roofs. Our snowy winters and humid summers are the perfect breeding ground for organic growths like mold, mildew and algae.
When you add bird droppings to that equation you’ve got a breeding farm for damaging organisms that can literally eat through your roofing materials, eventually creating leaks and degrading structural supports to the point of expensive roof replacement. So let’s hope it is just dirt, but we’ll get rid of it for you quickly, efficiently, and affordably either way.
I Have Old, Set In Stains. Does Your Service Clean Those Up?
Oh yes we do, and we love a challenge! One of the most rewarding parts about pressure washing is the transformation from hopelessly stained, dirty, or discolored to clean, pristine, and shining like a curb appeal spotlight. We’ve got the power in the form of the latest high-pressure, commercial-grade, fully-contained pressure washing equipment, and we’ve also got the finesse, with chemical solvents, mineral acids, and cleaning solutions designed for specific stains on specific surfaces.
We’ve got an unbeaten record against stubborn stains and dogged discolorations, and Jordan's Exterior Cleaning is Winston-Salem’s champ of exterior cleaning restoration and rejuvenation.
Are Your Cleaning Methods Or Chemicals Environmentally Safe?
We use only biodegradable, eco-friendly chemical and cleansing solutions, and will always take the greatest care around your property and landscaping, plus we’re fully licensed and insured. Our soft washing professionals use only eco-safe cleaning solutions specially formulated for each surface to pre-treat and soak fragile surfaces and kill organic contaminants and melt away dirt, grime, and stains. All are certified as safe around plants, animals, humans, and surrounding ecology, including runoff.
