Blue Flamingo SoftWash's FAQs
Yes, roof washing is very important! Dirt and other particles that collect on the roof can lead to leakage as it accumulates as well as becoming a haven for insects and pests which damages the surface of your roof.
The most common cause of premature wear and drying out is what we call “drip drip”. The water runs off the roofing material until it creates an opening in the water barrier where there’s no flashing and leaks down into the building framing and wall cavity.
What you need to do is go up on your roof once or twice per year, and inspect your roof. Obviously hiring a contractor will eliminate any risk on your end.

Cleaning with a soft wash is typically better than roof pressure washing or power washing in general because it does not use heat or high pressure. When scrubs are used, the goal is to clean but not damage surfaces. Soft scrubs can be gentle on siding and easier on cleaning than power washers that may dry out some areas of your house prone to moisture or rot.
Think about strong stream water coming at you versus soft, slow moving streams of water coming at you. Pressure washing can cause dings in some materials like wood paneling and tile flooring if the dirt is too hard to remove from the grout joints. This means that clean up will take time with a pressure washer instead of just a wipe down with a rag when done with a soft wash.
We provide soft washing services in these areas:
One of the most spectacular uses for soft washing is in restoring flagstone patios. Even cement surfaces can be cleaned with this faux stone cleaning technique, but it’s important to avoid any cement or paver sealers when cleaning with soft water.
Specifically, when pressure washing hard surfaces like the exterior of a house or garage flooring, it is best to use at least 2 gallons per minute (GPM) or more in order to effectively scrub the surface and remove contaminants. Furthermore, using enough water will create sufficient back-pressure in your hose so you can supply less than 140 PSI for optimal results without damaging delicate materials such as flowers and plants around your space.

The best cleaning solution is a soft wash house, preferably with a pressure washer. This will not only get the outside looking good, but it should also remove any dirt and grime from other surfaces under windows and doors to prevent these from becoming increasingly dirty.

There are several factors to consider when contemplating soft wash roof cleaning cost. The amount of moss growing, whether it needs an acid wash, normal wear and tear on shingles etc. will affect the final charges. For example, for maintenance cleaning (soft-washing) it may cost anywhere from $750-$1150 or more depending on square footage, terrain issues like tree coverage and shading, buildup of pine needles or other debris that might accumulate on your roof surface, angle of roofs (steep roofs – uphill vs shallow roofs- downhill).
A first estimate should put you in contact with a professional company who can offer advice after they have inspected your roof closely.

Yes, soft washing is a much better option for your roof than pressure washing. Pressure washing can damage your roofing materials and even cause them to prematurely deteriorate. Soft washing uses gentle chemicals and not high pressure, so it’s a much safer option that will help to protect your roofing materials from damage.

Yes. House pressure washing is a great way to clean the exterior of your home. It can remove dirt, mold, and mildew, and it can also help to protect your house from deterioration.
However, it’s important to be careful when power washing. You don’t want to damage your house by using too much pressure or by using the wrong type of cleaner.

There are a few qualities you should look for when hiring local power washing companies. First, make sure the company has experience in the exterior power washing business. This will ensure they have the proper equipment and knowledge to do the job right. Second, check reviews of the company online to see what others have said about their services. Finally, get a few quotes from different companies before making your decision. By doing your research, you’ll be able to find the right power washing company for your needs.

If you’re looking to clean your patio pavers, one of the best ways to do so is with a power washer. Power washing patio pavers will remove any dirt, grime or mildew that may be on the surface of your pavers, and it’s also a great way to prep them for sealing. Be sure to use a moderate pressure setting on your power washer, as using too much pressure can damage the pavers. Start by wetting down the area with plain water, then slowly move the wand over the surface of the pavers.

Yes, pressure washing roof shingles is not recommended. The high-pressure water can damage the shingles and even cause them to detach from the roof.
If you have a mold or algae problem on your roof, soft wash roof cleaning is safer and more effective at getting rid of it than pressure washing.

The best way to clean a driveway or patio is by using a power washer. Power washing patio pavers can blast away built-up dirt and debris, and it can also help to restore the original color of your pavers.
There are a few different ways that you can clean your driveway. One option is to pressure wash it yourself. You can either rent a pressure washer or buy one outright. If you go this route, be sure to read the instructions carefully so that you don’t damage your driveway.

Whichever method you choose, be sure to give your driveway a good cleaning once in awhile so that it stays looking nice and lasts for many years.
