So, you are looking at your house, and realize it’s time to clean the exterior.  You talk to friends, hear all about the cool high pressure power cleaner you can rent and off you go – excited because after all.. more pressure means better cleaning and less work … Right?   Wrong!    As with any project you need the right tool for the job, and that takes some knowledge.  Otherwise, instead of a regular cleaning,  you may find your house is in need of a paint job or new siding.  That high pressure washing will not only take the dirt off, it can take the paint off or damage the siding, too.  That's not the result you want, for sure.

  So what is the best tool for this job you ask?  Low pressure, or soft washing is the answer! Low-pressure pressure washing can clean any type of mildew, dirt or mold  as well; high-pressure pressure washing will not always remove dirt, so the natural inclination of an inexperienced home owner is to get even closer to the dirt, usually meaning getting up on a ladder. Very often the answer isn’t more pressure or getting closer, it’s in the products being used to clean.  The advantage to using a professional service are many;  they know which surfaces require what type of pressure to clean and most importantly what type of detergent works best with different surfaces.   They also have a trick to keep your shrubs and plants from being damaged in the cleaning process, preserving your curb appeal on all levels.  At Caretaker Services we only use the low pressure soft wash method, call today for a free estimate – 843-602-0821
