What Is Our Step-by-Step Pressure Washing Process for Eugene Properties?

Our professional exterior cleaning process uses a three-step system—pre-wash sanitization, low-pressure soft washing or rotary concrete scrubbing, and post-wash protective treatments—fully compliant with Eugene DEQ runoff rules.

Step 1: How Do We Pre-Wet and Protect Your Landscaping and Garden Beds?

The single most important step before applying any cleaning solution is protecting your landscaping. Surrounding grass, flower beds, and shrubs are pre-soaked with fresh water. This saturates the soil and root systems, preventing them from absorbing any overspray. Delicate flowers are covered, and we continue rinsing plants throughout the cleaning process to dilute runoff to a completely safe level.

Step 2: What Surface Cleaning Techniques Match Your Home’s Materials?

Using the wrong water pressure is the main cause of DIY property damage. We calibrate our pressure settings (PSI) and cleaning agents to match each specific substrate:

  • Delicate Surfaces (Roofs, Siding, Wood): Soft washed under 500 PSI using biodegradable solutions that dissolve organic growth at the spore level without physical abrasion.
  • Hard Surfaces (Concrete, Walkways, Patios): Cleaned using professional 19-inch rotary surface cleaners at 3,000+ PSI to remove deep algae and tire marks evenly.

Step 3: Why Is Post-Treatment Critical to Prevent Algae and Moss Regrowth?

Simply rinsing concrete only removes the top layer of dirt, leaving deep algae roots alive inside the porous substrate. After pressure washing, we apply a specialized post-treatment wash. This chemical penetrates the open pores of the concrete, killing remaining spores and keeping surfaces clean for 12 to 18 months—twice as long as water alone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do your cleaning processes comply with local Eugene DEQ rules?

Yes. All wastewater is blocked from storm drains using sandbags and rubber mats, neutralized, and disposed of legally through sanitary sewer lines in compliance with City of Eugene stormwater rules.

Do I need to turn off my HVAC system during washing?

We recommend turning off your AC system and keeping all windows closed to prevent any surfactant odors or overspray from entering the home.
