What is the difference between pressure washing and pressure cleaning?
Pressure washing and pressure cleaning mean the same thing. Pressure cleaning and pressure washing refer to the machine, the pressure washer. The pressure washer is used to clean patios, decks, fences, walkways, walls and siding and houses. As stated before, the pressure washer uses nozzles. The nozzles all have different purposes. When pressure cleaning a home, it is important to know the right tool to use. Many handyman don’t understand how to use the pressure washing machine properly and they use the wrong nozzle. In addition, they use dangerous chemicals.
What is the best way to clean black streaks or marks from a roof?
The best way to remove black streaks or marks from a roof is soft roof washing. In addition to black stains, soft roof washing cleans moss, mold, mildew, lichens and dirt from roofs. Soft roof washing is a process where we use soft water combined with eco-friendly cleaning solutions to wash your roof. We allow the cleaning solution to soak into the roof shingles. As a result the mold, mildew, algae, moss and lichens are killed and wash off the roof. After the soaking we gently allow the water to cleanse your roof. We never us pressure to wash your roof. Some companies try to blast away moss, mold, lichens and black streaks with high water pressure. Instead they blast away your roof shingles and destroy your asphalt, roof and paper beneath.
