Yes, absolutely. Your roof will be kept safe during the entire duration of our clean. We always make sure to use the appropriate equipment to reach your roof to ensure there’s no risk to your property in any way. The cleaning technique that we use is designed to bring no harm to your roof tiles either. Where some cleaning techniques, such as pressure washing, can risk causing damage to your roof tiles, our approach does not. The gentle approach with safe chemicals eliminates this risk entirely.
No we don’t, we use extendable carbon fiber poles to steam clean your roof from the ground. Alternatively, where necessary, we use ladders to raise us up to the gutter line.
Yes, we do. Our standard roof cleaning process delivers instant results. We steam clean your roof removing all moss dirt and other organic build-ups, then treat with a biocide that stunts the regrowth for up to 5 years.
Depending on the treatment applied, we can stunt the growth of algae, moss, and lichen, for up to 5 years.
No, we clean and clear all the guttering and downpipes with every roof clean.
Yes, roof cleaning is necessary as the build-up of moss, algae, and lichens causes damage to the surface of tiles by leaving craters, caused by the roots. Moss, if left untreated, can lift and separate tiles and let water in. Some home insurers can reject claims if the damage could have been avoided by keeping your roof maintained, for example, leaks, damp, and mold.

Roof washing services either come as a stand-alone service or are part of the maintenance contract that needs to be renewed. Most maintenance contracts will provide for washing one’s roof every year.
However, there are many things to consider about roof washing costs. For example, if your roof is flat you’ll want one with adequate pressure but gentle enough so as not to scratch it or damage it in any way. On the other hand, someone who owns an old steeple-style house would need something much stronger because they’re not used to coming up against obstacles like this.

Both pressure washing and soft washing have their advantages and disadvantages.

Pressure washing is a great option for removing tough stains and dirt buildup from hard surfaces. However, it can be too powerful for softer surfaces and may cause damage if not done correctly. Additionally, pressure washing can be noisy and may require additional safety precautions.

Soft washing, on the other hand, is a gentler option that uses a lower pressure and cleaning solution to effectively remove dirt and stains from softer surfaces without causing damage. Soft washing is also effective in removing organic growth like mold and mildew. However, it may not be as effective in removing tough stains and may require more time and effort to complete the job. read more…

Overall, the best method for your house will depend on the specific surfaces that need to be cleaned, the level of dirt or grime buildup, and your personal preferences. It’s always a good idea to consult with a professional to determine the best method for your situation and ensure that the cleaning process is done safely and effectively.

The safest option is to hire a professional cleaner to power wash your roof. The best time to power wash a roof is a spring and autumn when it is too cold for a roofer’s squeegee to be effective. Power washing removes moss growth from the shingles which can cause leaks, as well as prevents dirt from accumulating on the surface of the shingles where moss cannot grow. The second-best option would be to hire someone who specializes in cleaning terraces and walkways, as they often have pressure washers that are not strong enough to clean your roof but will still do an adequate job for less money.
There are a lot of benefits to soft washing roof cleaning services. Most importantly, it is an extremely gentle process as the cleaning acids never actually come in contact with your roof construction material. Soft washing also allows you to change colors on your roof without having to remove old paint first. It’s environmentally friendly and if done correctly, will not disrupt residents or bird colonies nesting on the rooftop.
It’s best to get a roof wash at least once a year, but twice is ideal. In Florida, it’s especially important to keep your roof clean because of the high amount of rainfall and the potential for mold and mildew growth. If you’re not comfortable washing your roof yourself, you can always hire a professional to do it for you. Just be sure to ask for references and make sure the company is equipped to handle this sort of work.
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.
Yes, we will use spot-free water to clean your windows. However, if the windows are excessively dirty or need special attention, we will recommend that you have them professionally cleaned. Spot-free water is a great way to clean your windows without leaving any streaks or spots behind. We will use this method to clean your windows and make them look shiny and new again!
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. Soft 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. Another option is to hire a driveway cleaning service. This can be a great option if you don’t want to deal with the hassle of cleaning it yourself. Just be sure to do your research and find a reputable company that will do a good job. Whichever method you choose, be sure to give your driveway a good cleaning once in a while so that it stays looking nice and lasts for many years.
We fully assure all our work. If any staining or development of bacteria returns on your roof we have soft-washed within one year of our treatment, and we’ll provide one complimentary clean. In addition, we have a Five-Year Spot Free Roof Cleaning Warranty. If any discoloration repeats within five years of our treatment we will certainly clean it once more, at a prorated cost.
In addition to roofings, we clean up all types of building siding, decks, fencings, concrete as well as brick surface areas. Soft washing could be used on all kinds of building products including timber, brick, concrete, aluminum, vinyl exterior siding, shingles, and a lot more!
Absolutely, but be careful. Cement paver brick is made of cement and natural stone additive materials. Harsh soaps will eat away at the coating on the bricks, causing them to deteriorate over time. A professional soft washing company should use water for cleaning or liquid soap with an agent to make a chemically gentle solution that will not corrode the sealant covering the bricks and thereby compromise long-term performance.
Soft washing is much more eco friendly compared to pressure/power washing, for the following reasons:
  • Every one of our cleansing options are 100% eco-friendly.
  • Our cleaning solutions have extremely reduced VOCs.
  • We only use 1/3 the water of pressure washing.
  • Our cleanings last four to six times longer compared to pressure washing, so cleaning is not needed as often.
  • Our SoftWash cleanings maintain products, such as roof shingles, conserving customers’ money, and producing much less waste in landfills brought on by particles connected with roofing, fencing, and deck replacement.
Microorganisms such as mold, mildew, algae, lichen, and bacteria are accountable for a lot of staining on roofing systems and also various other surface areas. In addition, byproducts of the metabolic rate of these microorganisms is acidic and destructive to surface areas such as roof shingles. Eliminating these bacteria protects against staining as well as enhances the durability of roof coverings, fencings, and also decks.
Typically, a soft washing treatment will last at the very least 4 times as long as pressure washing, before staining reoccurs. In many circumstances, our treatments last a lot longer than one year.

COVID-19

The “novel coronavirus” (simply meaning a new coronavirus), commonly referred to as coronavirus, is a respiratory disease. The virus has been given an official CDC designation of SARS-Cov-V-2, and the disease the virus creates has been
given the official CDC designation COVID-19.

The 2019-2020 coronavirus is currently an ongoing global health emergency. The virus first emerged in December 2019 in Wuhan, China, and by mid-January 2020, it had
migrated to the United States.

Our company and staff are closely monitoring the CDC and OHSU updates. We also have heightened our safety training to provide the most up-to-date information to our
technicians.

If any team member appears to be having difficulty in breathing you can contact our office immediately. While the likelihood of an employee having the COVID-19 Coronavirus is extremely low, it pays to err on the side of caution.

We understand that the CDC has recommended social distancing. However our technicians are highly trained in the field and specifically with regards to cleaning. Every technician has undergone additional COVID-19 training.

We follow the guidelines of CDC and OSHA for our cleaning and supplies. However, we are adding additional services in light of COVID-19.

As a company we are working to ensure no impact on services. In fact, we have an ongoing marketing strategy in place to educate all of our customers on the Coronavirus and services that our company can do to support each of you.

No. While all of the preventative steps recommended by the CDC can reduce the risk of infection, it is still possible to contract the virus. Such is also the case with cleaning
of interior and exterior surfaces – these steps reduce the risk of infection by disinfecting the surfaces, but it is not a guarantee.

Well the most important thing you can do is to continue using us as your cleaning company. We understand that there is a lot of information being said in the media and as a result small businesses are also being impacted. We are grateful to have you as a customer and we will work together with all of our customers through education and awareness.

Blue Flamingo Softwash has worked at my house several times during the pasts several years. The reason is because they are always reliable, use a good product, are very professional while doing the work. I did my roof several years ago and so far no more mildew. They get called every time I need a cleaning around the house or sidewalk.

They did an amazing job and only took about 2 hours to clean my entire roof. The end result looks way better than a regular pressure washing job, plus it should stay clean longer and is generally safer for your roof. A bunch of people on my block have had their roofs pressure cleaned in the past month or so. The worker spent 2-3 DAYS on each roof, yet none of them looked this clean. UPDATE: A year later and my roof is still spotless.
