Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I schedule commercial property cleaning in your area?
Most homes in your area benefit from commercial property cleaning every 8–12 months. In dense shade or high‑pollen seasons, we may recommend 6–9 months to prevent biofilm from setting. During your quote we inspect exposure, gutters, and nearby vegetation, then set a custom cadence that preserves curb appeal without over‑cleaning.
Is commercial property cleaning safe for landscaping and painted trim?
Yes. We follow a three‑step protection process: pre‑wet vegetation and soil, apply the lightest effective solution with controlled fan patterns, then post‑rinse to neutralize. Around older trim and oxidized panels, we widen fan tips, lower solution strength, and increase standoff distance to avoid streaks or lifting.
What’s the difference between soft washing and pressure washing?
Soft washing uses targeted detergents and low pressure to release organic growth without scarring surfaces—ideal for vinyl, fiber‑cement, stucco, painted wood, and trim. Traditional high‑pressure methods can force water behind laps, scar oxidized coatings, or etch softer materials. Our process favors chemistry first, pressure last.
Can you treat red clay stains and mildew common across the area?
Yes. We pretreat clay and mildew‑prone zones with surfactant‑rich detergents that break soil bonds, allow measured dwell time, then soft‑rinse. For stubborn clay halos we follow with spot treatment and safe agitation. This preserves coatings while lifting discoloration on lower courses and splashback areas.
How long does a typical commercial property cleaning take?
Most homes take 2–4 hours depending on square footage, access, soil level, and lot layout. Corner lots, three‑story rear elevations, or heavy shade may add dwell and rinse time. We stage hoses to avoid flowerbeds, protect outlets and fixtures, and finish with a perimeter walk‑through for touch‑ups.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes—active liability insurance and industry‑standard SOPs. Crew leads are trained on chemical handling, ladder safety, electrical awareness, and window integrity checks. Certificates of insurance (COI) are available on request for homeowners and property managers.
Can you work around older windows, caulk, and seals?
Absolutely. We avoid direct angles on seams, keep pressures low, reduce chemistry near suspect seals, and extend rinse distance on muntins and sills. We also recommend a gentle post‑clean wipe on older storm panes to catch drip lines that can appear as the glass cools.
Do you offer bundled exterior cleaning?
Yes. Popular bundles combine roof washing, gutter cleaning/brightening, and concrete cleaning with commercial property cleaning. Bundling reduces setup time, saves return visits, and delivers a full‑property refresh in a single day—often at a better combined rate.
How do you protect nearby lakes, creeks, and planting beds?
We minimize chemistry, pre‑wet soil and beds, use controlled application with low drift, then post‑rinse to dilute residuals. On request we shield delicate annuals and direct rinse paths away from down‑slopes and drains to reduce runoff toward waterways.
How soon can you schedule in my area?
Most weeks we can start within 2–5 days. During peak pollen and post‑storm periods we prioritize active quotes and maintenance clients first. If you’re preparing for listing photos or an event, tell us your deadline—we’ll do our best to stage equipment and crews to meet it.
