What to Put In Mind While Choosing a Pressure Washing Firm

After you decide to hire a pressure washing firm, whether for your business or your house, it is important to know what to look for and what to put in mind while you are choosing a service provider. This must be done with care because hiring a low quality service provider means that you will get poor service that will certainly not clean your house or business 100%. On top of that, it might end up damaging your furniture or walls because these pressure washers must be handled carefully or they can end up causing irreparable damage.

In order to guarantee the quality of the cleaning and the safety of your property, you will have to put some things in mind. The first thing is the experience of the firm. You have to know how long have this firm been offering its services. You can know that by contacting the firm and asking them. You also have to know about the quality of their service, you can do that by checking their portfolio of previous work as well as contacting previous customers and asking them for feedback.

Cleaning Concrete and Driveways With Pressure Washing

Can a commercial pressure washing solution really clean your concrete sidewalk, driveway, or other hard surfaces that are permeated with oil, grease, and debris stains?

Whether you run a Bay Area business and your shop’s sidewalk looks like the floor of a Jiffy Lube, or you’re a homeowner who’s disgusted by the unsightly stains on your driveway, take heart. You CAN get the stains out!

Pressure washing alternatives include: washing and rinsing with detergent; using turbo nozzles to speed up cleaning time; and applying chemical surface cleaners. But these processes might not be effective/ideal. Factors can make the job too tough for these “weaker” methods, such as:

• The size and intensity of the stain. (The bigger and larger the stain, the harder it can be to clean);
• The chemical composition of the stain;
• The porosity of the concrete or driveway;
• The depth the stain has reached into the material;
• The length of time the stain has had to set;
• The cleaning methods that have already been tried. (Some uneducated attempts to clean can actually make the situation worse by discoloring the concrete/driveway, scraping it, or even adding to the stain itself).

Tips for Pressure Washing Your Deck

University All In One is always ready to get all your surfaces spic and span, but maybe you feel like giving a smaller project a go yourself. A deck is the start and we wanted to give you some tips to help you get a professional looking job done!

It’s important that you set your nozzle correctly before you start. You should use a 40″ spray pattern for optimal results. For a pressure washer dishing out less than 2,000 PSI, keep your nozzle about a foot away from the deck. At 2,000-3,000 PSI, your nozzle can be one to two feet away. At 3,000 PSI, your nozzle can be up to three feet away.

When you are ready to power wash your deck or patio you need to consider the cleanser carefully. Choosing the right power washing chemicals will be critical to obtaining good results when you clean your deck. You should always use a cleaning solution for your deck, even when it doesn’t look too dirty. You will not only do a smoother job but it will be easier and quicker.

Power Washing A House That Got Egged

Last week we got a call from a homeowner needing power washing to remove egg stains from her house.

These are the kind of calls we usually get in the summer. Like calls for graffiti removal, these incidents are much more common when the schools are closed.

We don’t know if her house was egged intentionally or just a random act from children running loose. But since we were in a heat wave with temperatures reaching above 90 degreees, she wanted to get it off as soon as possible before the sun baked it hard.

Loading Dock Cleaning. Why Its Important?

Reliable loading docks make it easier for businesses to load large shipments into trucks as well as unload incoming orders. It is important to keep loading docks clean for appearance reasons and also to ensure the safety of workers.

Loading docks that are not clean can often lead to hazardous work conditions. Debris, trash and other unnecessary items that are left on loading docks can cause workers to trip and seriously injure themselves. Dirt and grime left behind on loading docks can result in a slippery surface. These unsanitary conditions become exceedingly dangerous when workers are carrying heavy loads to and from trucks.

Pressure Washing Your Sidewalk and Driveway

Chicago neighbors, if you’re anything like me, you are always looking for opportunities to use a pressure washer.  It’s thrilling to handle that much horsepower.  It’s also a very effective cleaning agent.  In short, it’s not a bad way to spend an afternoon.  So, what do you have that needs cleaning? May we recommend your porous sidewalks, driveway, and garage floor?  By this time, your sidewalk and driveway has probably seen a lot of traffic; bicycles, dogs, strollers, marathon trainers, etc. All of that action leaves behind dirt and grime, and it has had plenty of time to accumulate.  A good pressure wash will eliminate all of that in minutes, and improve the look and longevity of your walk and driveways.

Despite the fact that pressure washing can practically be considered recreational, very few people actually own a pressure washer.  No worries, they can be rented very affordably from any home improvement store.  Do read the instructions thoroughly and proceed with caution.  Getting carried away can cause bodily harm and property damage, big time.  And while we’re on the subject, it’s unwise to let children operate the pressure washer. Don’t even think about any playful spraying – it will be tempting – but, it is quite dangerous to people and animals.

Pressure Washing: How to Remove Graffiti

Graffiti can be a nightmare, especially if it’s on your business building or your home. Soap and water, even applied with some elbow grease, are just no match for removing graffiti. Some people try to repaint the tagged surface. Though this may be a successful approach for some surfaces, it doesn’t work for all. For example, painting over a brick surface that is covered in graffiti is just not going to cut it.

This is where the pressure washing option comes in. Sometimes paint can be loosened and lifted off a surface just by using a pressure washer (which can emit water at 300 times the power of a standard garden hose). Graffiti removal may be more challenging for traditional pressure washing, but no worries, graffiti removal service providers use a specially created eco-friendly cleaning agent along with pressure washing to get the job done. It’s best if you get in contact with a pressure washing company as they have the technology and cleaning formulas to remove even the most difficult of graffiti cases.
