Common Cleaning Mistakes to Avoid
Using Too Much Pressure
Higher pressure doesn't always mean better cleaning. Using excessive pressure can damage delicate surfaces, strip paint, or etch concrete. Professional technicians know the optimal pressure for each surface type.
Ignoring Weather Conditions
Cleaning in direct sunlight can cause cleaning solutions to dry too quickly, reducing effectiveness. Wind can blow debris onto freshly cleaned surfaces. Professionals time projects for optimal conditions.
Skipping Pre-Treatment
Tough stains like oil, rust, and biological growth require pre-treatment with appropriate solutions. Rushing to pressure washing without proper preparation often leads to unsatisfactory results.
Inadequate Protection
Proper preparation includes protecting landscaping, covering electrical outlets, and moving or protecting furniture and fixtures. This prevents damage and ensures thorough cleaning.
