Right now is the perfect time for a professional house wash by Pristine Clean—so you can enjoy summer and fall in beautiful, clean home

By Mimi Vanderhaven

You wash your car, so isn’t it time to wash your house, too? It’s exposed to the same dust, grime, pollen and acid rain that attacks your vehicle, not to mention the mold, mildew and algae that grow in the shady areas of your home.

And what about those unsightly black streaks on your roof and the darkening stains on your driveway and other concrete surfaces? They need cleaning, too.

Yep, right now is the perfect time for a mid-summer house wash, so you can enjoy a beautiful, clean home now through the fall. But all power washing companies are not the same. Pristine Clean is the region’s largest locally owned firm specializing in cleaning siding, roofs, and concrete surfaces. And this team does it right.

High Pressure vs. Soft Wash

“They call it ‘power washing’ or ‘pressure washing’ because of the pressure of the water coming out of the machine’s nozzle,” explains company founder Ken Wilson. “Inexperienced operators or antiquated equipment rely on really high pressure to remove grime, mold, and mildew. But you shouldn’t just blast it away like that. That’s how damage occurs.”

Here’s what Pristine does instead:
“We use a procedure known as a ‘soft wash.’ That means our equipment relies on greater water volume rather than high pressure to get the job done. We also treat your home with a safe and effective mildewcide that softens the mold, mildew and grime before we turn on the machines. The result is a clean home without the dangers of pressure that is too high.”

Highly Trained Techs

As with any powerful equipment, it’s important to know how to use it. “Our technicians undergo both classroom and in-the-field training, including a comprehensive apprenticeship program,” Ken explains. “This is how important it is.”

So it’s no surprise the company has more than 1,000 Google reviews with a virtually perfect 4.9-star rating.

Using the Right Sealant

After you turn off the equipment, the power washing job isn’t over. Now comes the important task of sealing your siding, roof or concrete surfaces.

“It’s best to use only the highest quality sealers and protectants,” Ken says. “For your siding, we use a surface protectant that acts as a barrier on the home to help it look and stay cleaner longer. For our concrete washing and sealing service, we use the highest quality silane/siloxane sealer, which penetrates deep into the concrete aggregate to protect it from within. And for your roof, we can apply a soy-based shingle rejuvenation that will bring your shingles back to their original flexibility and function. That service is called Roof Renew.”

Stop Weeds in the Cracks of Your Patio!

Introducing Polymeric Sweep Sand

After power washing patios constructed of bricks or pavers, the sand between the joints typically needs replacing or enhancing. Now, your Pristine Clean technician can do the job for you.

But not with ordinary sand.

The company has introduced a new polymetric sweep sand that contains special polymers allowing it to harden similar to concrete. This not only improves joint strength, it helps eliminate weed growth. That means much less weed-whacking the joints of your patio all summer long.

When you schedule your power washing job from Pristine Clean, be sure to ask about polymetric sweep sand for your patio.
