Pressure washing is a fantastic way to make your business or home look professional, clean, and maintained. If you have hired a professional power washing company, like Cardinal Pressure Washing, you may want to take some steps to prepare your home or business for the smoothest process.
Here are some helpful preparation tips to ensure that you help make the process safe and effective to get the best results from pressure washing this spring.
1. Make Sure Your Water Is On
Though it may seem obvious to have your water turned on when having your house professionally power washed. There have been instances where customers do not have any outside spigots turned on!
It’s essential for customers to ensure that the water spigot is turned on and ready to go. Cardinal Pressure Washing does bring a little bit of water in our tanks to the job site, but it typically is not enough to clean an entire property.
2. Clear the Area
Though our crew ensures that all areas are prepared for pressure washing, consider what objects are around your property to ensure that they are not affected in the cleaning process. These may consist of outdoor furniture, trash cans, potted vegetation or signage that can all get wet from overspray.
If you have any decor or furniture that you are concerned about, do your best to temporarily remove them from the area for pressure washing this spring. Though our professionals will ensure that they are only cleaning the requested surfaces, the cleaning process can sometimes have overspray.
So if you’re worried about anything else getting wet, it’s best to move them until the services have been completed. If you have any items that are too heavy or large to move yourself, you can always ask one of the crew members to help move the item out of the way of overspray.
3. Close Windows & Doors
Pressure washers are great tools for cleaning exterior surfaces, but no one wants the inside of their building or house to accidentally get hosed down. Any doors and windows left open before the services are asking for unwanted water to enter the building.
Before the cleaning process takes place, our Cardinal crews will walk around the property to ensure that all doors and windows are closed. We do our best to make sure your property is protected from water damage or overspray!
4. Check for Vulnerable Areas
Some vulnerable areas to be concerned about when having your property cleaned could be outlets, doors, and vehicles. Many companies do not take the extra time to cover outlets, check front doors, and make sure your vehicles are a safe distance away from the cleaning to avoid overspray.
When using Cardinal Pressure Washing for your exterior cleaning services, we like to take the stress off of our customers. We make sure to walk around the property before the cleaning takes place to cover all outlets where necessary.
We will also provide front doors with a test spot when applicable before cleaning to ensure that the door will remain safe. If your vehicle is within 10ft of the building, we may request that the vehicle be moved to make sure we do not get overspray on it.
5. Stay Indoors
We do ask that all people and animals remain indoors during the cleaning process for simple safety concerns. However, you will be able to resume normal activity once the cleaning is complete. This ensures that our crews are able to work more efficiently and to focus on providing you with a 5-star cleaning service!
