Question 6

What is soft washing?

Accepted Answer

Soft washing uses significantly lower water pressure than traditional pressure washing, combined with professional cleaning solutions to treat organic growth and exterior contamination.

Question 7

Is soft washing safe for vinyl siding?

Accepted Answer

When performed correctly and matched to the surface, soft washing is designed to clean siding using substantially less pressure than conventional pressure washing.

Question 8

How often should a house be washed?

Accepted Answer

Frequency depends on tree coverage, shade, moisture, siding material and environmental conditions. Many homeowners clean annually or every other year.

Question 9

Will house washing remove oxidation from siding?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily. Oxidation is different from normal organic contamination and may require a separate specialty process.

Question 10

Can I bundle house washing with other services?

Accepted Answer

Yes. House washing can often be combined with concrete cleaning, gutter cleaning, exterior windows and other residential services.

Question 11

Do you pressure wash asphalt shingles?

Accepted Answer

No. High-pressure washing should not be used as the standard method for cleaning asphalt shingles. D&P uses a low-pressure soft-wash process.

Question 12

What causes black streaks on a roof?

Accepted Answer

Dark streaks are commonly associated with organic growth such as algae.

Question 13

Will moss disappear immediately after treatment?

Accepted Answer

Not always. Depending on the type and severity of growth, treatment may continue working after service.

Question 14

Can an older roof be cleaned?

Accepted Answer

Potentially, but roof condition should be evaluated first. Cleaning cannot repair damaged or failing roofing materials.

Question 15

Will every stain come out of concrete?

Accepted Answer

No. Some stains penetrate deeply or chemically alter concrete. Specialty treatment may improve them, but complete removal cannot always be guaranteed.

Question 16

Can you remove rust stains from concrete?

Accepted Answer

D&P offers specialty stain-removal services for certain rust and iron stains. Results depend on the cause, age and condition of the concrete.

Question 17

Do you clean sidewalks with the driveway?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Sidewalks and other hard surfaces can be included in the quote.

Question 18

Will the concrete look perfectly uniform after cleaning?

Accepted Answer

Older concrete may have permanent color variation, repairs, wear or aggregate differences that remain after cleaning.

Question 19

What is gutter brightening?

Accepted Answer

Gutter brightening is a separate process that addresses stubborn exterior discoloration — commonly called tiger striping — that standard house washing may not fully remove.

Question 20

Does normal house washing remove all gutter stains?

Accepted Answer

No. Some gutter discoloration requires a separate brightening process with additional products and agitation.

Question 21

Can gutters be added to a house wash?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Gutter services can be included as an add-on depending on project scope.

Question 22

What types of specialty stains do you treat?

Accepted Answer

D&P may treat rust, iron, fertilizer stains, calcium deposits, mineral buildup, oxidation, gutter discoloration, organic staining, paver staining and other difficult exterior contamination.

Question 23

Why can't pressure alone remove specialty stains?

Accepted Answer

Some stains chemically bond to or penetrate the surface. Using more pressure may fail to remove the discoloration and can potentially damage the material.

Question 24

Is specialty stain removal included with standard pressure washing?

Accepted Answer

Not always. Specialty treatment often requires additional products, time and procedures and should be quoted separately.
