Frequently Asked Questions About Exterior Cleaning
We at Enviroclean use multiple solutions depending on what part of the property is being cleaned and its material properties. For roof cleaning application on homes that have asphalt, clay, metal or slate shingles we utilize sodium hypochlorite mixed with a surfactant to kill any and all organic growth that may have accumulated over the years.
When it comes to cedar or any other wooden roof shingles that are more sensitive sodium percarbonate is utilized along with a surfactant ensuring that the organic growth is killed without compromising the integrity of the natural wood itself. Sodium percarbonate can also be used as a pre-treatment on particularly contaminated surfaces before power washing to maximize cleaning efficiency.
For exterior gutters, fascia, awning and siding we utilize a natural citrus based degreaser that is fully biodegradable and safe when rinsed onto plants. Finally, for window cleaning a mixture of oxyclean, vinegar and a surfactant ensures we leave them shining more than ever before!
At Enviroclean we aim to complete the job as professionally as possible without ever cutting corners for a quick and easy fix. Utilizing a pressure washer (even with the pressure turned down) on a roof might yield a quick aesthetic improvement but is also very damaging to the roof itself and will void your roof warranty. Not only does the use of high pressure blast the granules off the shingles shortening their overall life but water can be easily forced up under the roof itself leading to mold and accelerated aging.
The only method the asphalt roofing manufacturers association (ARMA) officially endorses is the use of soft washing or chemical application to kill unwanted growth on the roof. Additionally, utilizing such solutions allows for the growth to be killed at its root as opposed to just the external surfaces hit with pressure and thus prevents any future growth from returning for a longer duration.
Yes very much so. Initially during the quote and later before starting the job a thorough walk around is done around every property so as to ascertain where any sensitive plant life might be that must be taken into consideration. For areas that might be as such, large tarps are utilized to cover the plants as well as downspouts bagged off so as to prevent any runoff going straight into the soil. Additionally, plants are thoroughly watered before, during and after the cleaning process to ensure any solution that may have gotten near them is diluted safely and will have no adverse effects.
When cleaning windows we at Enviroclean aim to hand clean as much as possible though unfortunately certain upper-level windows cannot be accessed by a ladder in which case a carbon fibre water fed pole is utilized. In addition to this we run our pole through a water filtration unit that ensures that the water used to clean the windows is completely free of any particulates or sediment that may otherwise lead to streaks once dry. When done correctly and out of direct sunlight so as to allow for the window to dry slowly, we guarantee that windows cleaned with our water fed pole will sparkle just like those we clean by hand!
The pacific northwest brings with it a climate that is perfect for supporting the presence of organic growth. With lots of rain and humidity coupled with lots of trees that provide shade, alge, moss and lichen is likely to return sooner than in other more dry climates. As such, following a pressure wash one can expect the surface to remain clean for at least 12 months before the beginning of new growth will begin to be spotted. With roof cleaning and soft washing where solutions kill the growth at its root, 18-24 months can be expected before growth will begin to return.
Gutters and windows will remain clean (at an acceptable state) for a shorter duration of time as they unfortunately are more susceptible to weather and debris and should be cleaned every 6-12 months. It is important to state however that these numbers are rough averages as every case is different and multiple factors can lead to a surface remaining clean far longer or requiring additional care sooner than anticipated
