What does it mean when a contractor says he uses low pressure washing methods? Low pressure washing is using very low pounds per square inch (psi) of water pressure to clean with. Contractors using low pressure rely on their cleaners to do the work and the gallons per minute (gpm) to do the washing and rinsing. This method of low pressure, quality cleaners, and high gallons per minute is very effective in cleaning most anything on your property. This method also eliminates risk of damaging your property like forcing water behind your home’s siding or shredding the wood fibers on your deck.
Contractors not using the low pressure method will be using high water pressure to blast the surface clean instead of depending on quality cleaners to do the work. High pressure can no doubt damage vinyl siding, decks, roofs, and even certain types of cement and brick. Make sure you, or the contractor you hire, use the low pressure washing method.

Exterior Cleaning Benefits
Keeping your property free of man-made and natural contaminants will save you money in the long run. No doubt your home and property are your largest investment so keeping them clean is a good choice. Dirt, mildew, mold, and algae can and will lead to rot and decay of the building materials that make up your home. Other contaminants, such as exhaust emissions from vehicles, airplanes, and nearby factories can also cause problems. Having your home’s roof, siding, deck, and cement cleaned can save you the trouble of costly repairs, renovations, and replacements. Exterior cleaning is also a great way to improve curb appeal and increase the value of your home. The time and cost of having your homes exterior cleaned is marginal compared to the value of your home and property. You may want to consider hiring an exterior cleaning contractor to do the job for you. Whether you choose to do it yourself or hire it out, cleaning and maintaining your home’s exterior every year or two is definitely one of the best ways to protect your largest investment.
