Pressure washing is a cleaning method that uses high-pressure water to remove dirt, grime, and other substances from surfaces. The pressure of the water is strong enough to blast away dirt and stains, making it an effective way to clean a variety of surfaces, including concrete driveways, sidewalks, walkways, patios, porches and more.

Pressure washing and power washing are two terms that are often used interchangeably because they are essentially the same thing. The only difference is the use of hot water when referring to "power" washing because it is utilized to clean tougher stains such as oil, grease, and organic stains. Both cold and hot water systems are utilized to ensure a proper clean of any surface.

Soft washing is a cleaning method that uses a low-pressure stream of water and a specialized cleaning solution to remove dirt, grime, and other substances from surfaces.

Unlike pressure washing, which uses high-pressure water to blast away dirt and stains, soft washing is a gentler cleaning method utilizing low pressure that is less likely to damage delicate surfaces or cause erosion. It is often used to clean roofs, siding, and other exterior surfaces, as well as decks, driveways, and sidewalks.

Soft washing is an effective way to clean a variety of surfaces, and it can be used to remove black and green stains, algae, and other types of buildup. It is a popular choice for homeowners and businesses looking to maintain the appearance of their properties without causing damage to the surfaces being cleaned.

Several factors influence how pressure washing services are charged:

1. The size of the area to be cleaned: Pressure washing companies typically charge based on the size of the area to be cleaned. The larger the area, the more it will cost to have it cleaned.
2. The type of surface to be cleaned: Different surfaces may require different cleaning methods, and some surfaces may be more difficult to clean than others and use more detergent raising the overall expenses. This can affect the price of the pressure washing service.
3. The level of service: Different levels of service will affect the price of the service.

In general, pressure washing and soft washing services are charged by the square foot. Splash Bros Co. Pressure Washing charges flat rates for gutter cleanings and roof sweeps depending on the size of the job.

Professional pressure washing companies have the necessary equipment and expertise to effectively clean your property without damaging it. They can also use specialized detergents and techniques to remove tough stains and grime.

Additionally, power washing can be a hazardous task if you are not familiar with the equipment or if you do not follow proper safety precautions. A professional power washing company will have trained and experienced personnel who can safely operate the equipment and handle any potential issues that may arise.

Overall, hiring a professional pressure washing company can save you time, effort, and potential headaches, and it can ensure that your property is thoroughly and safely cleaned.

Yes, cold water pressure washing is sufficient for many cleaning tasks, such as removing dirt and grime from exterior surfaces or cleaning vehicles. It is also the more common and cost-effective method of pressure washing.

Hot water pressure washing is more effective at removing stubborn stains and residues, such as oil, grease, and tough organic stains. The high temperature of the water helps to loosen and dissolve these substances, making them easier to remove. Hot water pressure washing is also more effective at killing bacteria and germs, which can be useful in certain situations, such as cleaning food processing facilities, hospitals, and restaurants.

However, hot water pressure washing can be more expensive and requires specialized equipment that can heat the water to high temperatures. Luckily Splash Bros Co. Pressure Washing has hot and cold water capabilities to clean any surface sufficiently.

The duration of a typical pressure washing service can vary based on several factors, including the size of the property, the extent of cleaning required, and the specific surfaces being treated. Generally, for residential projects, a pressure washing service may take anywhere from a couple hours to a half-day. Larger homes, extensive outdoor spaces, or properties with significant grime buildup may take longer to ensure a thorough and effective cleaning. Commercial properties or more extensive projects might span a full day or longer. It's advisable to consult with the pressure washing service provider beforehand to get a more accurate estimate based on the unique characteristics of your property and cleaning needs. Splash Bros Co. Pressure Washing is diligent in making sure the customer knows our timeline throughout the entire project.

Being on-site allows you to communicate specific concerns, point out areas requiring extra attention, and ensure that the pressure washing team fully comprehends your expectations. This direct communication minimizes the chances of misunderstandings and ensures that the job aligns with your requirements. Moreover, your presence allows for real-time feedback and immediate resolution of any questions or issues that may arise during the process. If there are specific areas requiring access or permission, your presence facilitates easy coordination.
