Soft Washing vs Pressure Washing

Contrary to what most people think, there are different ways to use a this kind of technique, depending on what surface you’re trying to clean. For tough surfaces, a stronger technique is fine but for softer surfaces, it’s safer to use a softer technique.

Soft Washing

This technique is a fairly new method that’s used in order to get more delicate surfaces clean. We put a special nozzle at the end of the pressure washer and use a special environmentally friendly detergent to get the job done. The pressure that comes out of the hose in soft washing can be compared to the pressure that comes out of a garden hose. This isn’t a ton of pressure but with the detergent, it can really get things as clean as they need to be in order to get rid of contaminants and protect the surface.

This softer technique is best used for surfaces such as siding, roofs, decks, patio furniture, and other things that would be damaged if the full pressure from a pressure washer was used.

Does My House Still Get Clean?

Yes! This is what a lot of our clients are concerned about and understandably so! Our job is to not only get your surfaces clean but to educate you on our processes.

The environmentally friendly detergent that is used does most of the heavy lifting. We use a pump sprayer to apply the detergent and then we let it sit for a few minutes to do its job. When the detergent is done working, it’s gently washed away along with contaminants, dirt, mold, moss, and any other debris that needs washed off of the surface.

Pressure Washing

Harder techniques are really good methods for taking care of things like driveways and patios. Sometimes we’ll use chemicals to clean with more force but a lot of the time it’s not necessary. Unlike or softer techniques, where the detergent is the muscle behind the cleaning, this stronger technique uses the force that comes out of the nozzle to do the job.

Our technicians are highly trained and know which method to use with what surface. Sometimes pressure washing will clean well but it’s not safe for all surfaces.

Window Care

When it comes to windows, we don’t skimp! We also don’t believe in just blasting windows free from dirt. We take the time to make sure that your windows are completely taken care of, intact, and streak free.

It’s easy to let windows go but there’s a lot our customers don’t know about keeping them clean. Not only do they make your home look amazing, they also let in more warmth and light from the sun and can reduce your energy bills.

How Often Should You Have Your Windows Treated?

The general answer to this is it depends very much on where you’re located. The trees and vegetation that surround your home or other building play a huge part as well.

If you live in a heavily vegetated area, you may want to get your windows taken care of quarterly. If you’re not around trees and such and don’t find that your windows get very dirty you may be able to get away with twice per year or once per year.

Most clients, especially with quarterly appointments, don’t get every single window cleaned every time. Getting the windows done that get the dirtiest and leaving the rest until the next appointment is a perfectly good option too.

Roof Cleaning Glen Arm Maryland

Here at EcoTek Power Wash, we pride ourselves on being able to help you care for your roof. Roofs are one of the least thought about areas of a home and they tend to get the least amount of attention when it comes to cleaning.

Unfortunately, when homeowners notice that there is a problem with their roof, its way past just needing maintenance and ends up costing them thousands of dollars in repairs.

Give us a call and we’ll come out and assess your roof’s condition.

Why Have Your Roof Cleaned?

Your roof is the first point of contact that the elements have with your house. Even more so if you live in a heavily wooded area or an area that gets a lot of interesting weather. It’s one of the most important structures of your home or office building and it needs to be kept clean and debris free in order for it to continue protecting the underlying elements.

Things like dirt, debris, mold, mildew, and moss can not only create a poor looking roof, certain things like moss can actually damage your shingles by pulling them up if left there for too long. Debris can also build up and keep rainwater from draining off of your roof properly. Standing water from a poor drainage system is detrimental to the health of your entire home.

Exterior House Care

Did you know that keeping the exterior of your home can increase its value? Don’t let those black streaks and caked on dirt sit on the exterior of your home any longer.

Taking Care of the Siding, Patio, and Deck Washing

Siding

Before you replace the siding on your property, make sure it actually needs replaced because of structural damage! Many homeowners see the condition of their siding and assume that they need to spend tons of money on a new look in order to both raise their home’s value and look great. This is especially true if you’re trying to sell.

EcoTek uses a softer technique to remove all kinds of allergens and contaminants from your siding. An environmentally friendly detergent is applied and the dirt, grime, and other debris are gently washed away.

It can make your siding look brand new! Give is a call and we’ll come out for a consultation to see how we can help your home or commercial building look it’s best!

Patios

Patios are a great place in the house for fun and family gatherings. Cookouts and get-togethers cause this area to be a pretty highly used area of your home or office building. Because if the high usage, patios can get very dirty.

An unclean patio is not only unsightly, it can lead to health problems and attract rodents.

We clean your patio with high pressure (in most cases) to ensure that the whole surface is cleaned.

Deck Care

Decks are another area of the home or office building that get a lot of use and traffic, especially during the spring and summer months when entertaining and outdoor activities are high.

Most homeowners either avoid having their patios cleaned because of the fear of damage or they try to power wash it themselves. If the person is not experienced, this can cause damage as well.

We use a softer approach with a gentle detergent to make sure that the surface of your deck gets cleaned but remains undamaged.

Before you take care of your deck yourself and you haven’t done it before, give us a call! The technicians at EcoTek are highly trained to know what chemicals, pressure, and cleaning distance is safe.

Driveway Cleaning

Driveways get a lot of usage and they get used daily. After parking on and driving over your driveway for a period of time they can get worn and very dirty. Vehicle stains and stains from other uses can really make your driveway look dingy and desperately in need of a good cleaning.

Aesthetics is definitely a concern but another thing to think about is function. Because driveways are a high usage area, they also take a physical beating. Unfortunately, contaminants sitting on the pavement over time can weaken your driveway and lead to cracking, discoloration, and other deterioration.

When cleaning your driveway, we understand that special consideration must be taken on different substances. Using the wrong chemicals and technique can lead to discoloration. EcoTek Power Wash has the equipment and expertise to make your driveway shine!

Natural stones with rust elements that come in contact with concrete and water
