We offer flexible scheduling options and can typically schedule an appointment within 24-48 hours of your initial request.


It depends on factors like location, weather, and the type of surface. Generally, soft washing every 1-3 years is recommended.


 

The answer is both yes and no. Let me explain:

               Yes:

  • In most cases, a pressure washer can effectively remove paint from concrete surfaces. The high-pressure water stream dislodges paint, revealing a clean surface underneath.

                No:

  • However, excessive pressure can harm your concrete. It may cause chipping, etching, or surface damage.
  • It’s crucial to use the right pressure level and technique to avoid unintended consequences.


ReFresh Outdoor Cleaning Service Professionals Can Help:

  • Our experienced team knows how to balance pressure effectively.
  • Whether it’s pressure washing or solution cleaning, we’ll restore your concrete without compromising its integrity.

Understanding Roof Stains: Algae, Mold, and Mildew

  1. Algae Growth:
    • The primary culprit behind black streaks on asphalt shingle roofs is a hardy blue-green algae called Gloeocapsa magma.
    • This algae thrives on roofs, developing a dark outer coating that results in the unsightly black stains you often see.
    • It feeds on the limestone present in asphalt shingles, gradually weakening them over time.
    • Regular removal of these stains is essential to prevent shingle rot and maintain your roof’s longevity.


         2. Mold and Mildew:

  • During rainy and humid seasons, other botanical growths, such as mold, mildew, and moss, can also appear on your roof.
  • These damp conditions create an ideal environment for rot to set in, exacerbating the growth of mold and mildew.
  • Proper cleaning and maintenance are crucial to preserving your roof’s integrity and preventing further damage.


Remember, addressing these issues promptly ensures a healthier and longer-lasting roof. 🏠🌿



Pressure washing uses high-pressure water to clean surfaces, while soft washing uses low-pressure water combined with eco-friendly cleaning solutions. Soft washing is safer for delicate surfaces like roofs and siding.


Soft Washing: Gentle and Plant-Friendly

Yes, soft washing is specifically designed to be gentle on plants and landscaping. Here’s why:

  1. Delicate Approach:
    • Unlike high-pressure methods, soft washing uses low-pressure water combined with specialized detergents.
    • It effectively removes dirt, stains, and contaminants without causing damage to fragile areas like plants and windows.

        2. Biodegradable Solutions:

  • Our cleaning solutions are biodegradable and environmentally friendly.
  • They break down stains, mold, mildew, and other contaminants without harming vegetation.

        3. Precautions by ReFresh Outdoor Cleaning Service:

  • Our experienced team takes precautions to protect your plants during the soft washing process.
  • We ensure that lingering chlorine or other cleaning agents won’t harm your valuable landscaping.

Soft Washing: Effective Against Organic Stains, But Not Rust

Soft washing is a powerful method for tackling organic stains on various surfaces. However, when it comes to rust, additional treatments may be necessary. Here’s what you need to know:

  1. Organic Stains:
    • Soft washing effectively removes organic stains caused by algae, mold, mildew, and other biological growth.
    • The gentle process ensures that your surfaces remain intact while getting rid of unsightly stains.

        2. Rust Challenges:

  • Unfortunately, soft washing alone may not remove rust stains.
  • Rust, especially on metal surfaces, requires specialized treatments beyond what soft washing provides.

        3. Consider Rust Removal Alternatives:

  • For rust removal, explore other methods such as:
    • Rust Converters: These products transform rust into a protective coating, preventing further corrosion.
    • Abrasive Techniques: Light sanding or using steel wool can help remove surface rust.
    • Chemical Rust Removers: Be cautious with these powerful solutions containing hydrochloric or phosphoric acid. Use them in well-ventilated areas with protective gear.

Remember to assess the severity of rust stains and choose the appropriate treatment. ReFresh Outdoor Cleaning Service can guide you through the best approach for maintaining stain-free surfaces. 🌿🏠


Clear the area around your home, close windows, and move outdoor furniture.


You’ll notice a significant improvement immediately after the soft washing process.
