Pressure Washing vs. Soft Washing
Pressure washing is primarily used for concrete surfaces such as driveways and walkways that can handle a quicker, but rougher, method.
Soft washing is used for cleaning houses, siding, and decks as they require a more delicate method. To compensate for the need for delicacy, we use an industry-standard method comparable to a touchless car wash.
Our cleaners safely remove mold, mildew, dirt, atmospheric pollution, and any other stains that may be dulling your surfaces. After we’re done pressure washing your home or soft washing your driveway etc., you’ll be amazed at how restored and bright your surfaces will look.
Importance of Pressure Washing
The exterior surfaces of your home are constantly exposed to harmful elements, both man-made and natural, including:
- Ultraviolet light rays, heavy winds, rain, and dirt can cause these surfaces to degrade, discolor, oxidize or chalk over time.
- Mold, mildew, bird droppings, insects, and tree sap are a few elements that can exacerbate this process.
- Man-made elements such as industrial pollution, exhaust, acid rain, chimney soot, and even smoke from your BBQ take their toll over time.
If these elements are not removed periodically they can destroy the beauty and drastically reduce the value of your property. As a result, it’s important to regularly receive pressure washing services to ensure your home is healthy and looking its best. Depending on various factors and conditions, Brothers recommends annual maintenance, at minimum, of these surfaces to help reduce the buildup, enhance the beauty, and preserve the well-being and value of your home.
Brothers specialists are always available to discuss your needs and options and answer any of your questions regarding pressure washing or other services.
Mold & Mildew
Mildew is a common problem in the greater Knoxville area due to climatic conditions such as heat, humidity, and extreme moisture.
Airborne mold and fungus spores can easily produce harmful deposits in your home. As a result, Brothers pressure and soft washing services utilize a specially formulated cleaning agent designed to eliminate mold and mildew, while also removing dirt build-up and environmentally related pollutants.
Our pressure-washing cleaning agents leave behind a clean surface that is not readily inviting to mold and mildew spores, thus slowing their re-appearance. Brothers will incorporate all essential procedures to protect your lawn, plants, trees, and water features during the pressure-washing cleaning process. Furthermore, our new roof-cleaning services can also help remove mold & mildew, as well as a variety of other elements like algae, lichen, and moss.
Chalking Paint
Oxidation-or chalking-is a chemical reaction between a painted surface, air, and sunlight that causes the finish of your home to appear dull or faded. In addition, rain may cause chalk from the siding to run, streaking windows, brickwork, trim, and foundation areas.
If the condition has not become insurmountable, our soft washing services can often rejuvenate the finish & dramatically improve your exterior surface or home’s appearance. Soft washing removes the streaking and gives your home a chalk-free appearance. This cleaning is almost always necessary when preparing your home for painting.
