So you spend $13,000 to have your house repainted and it starts showing signs of mildew growing and it looks like it could use a freshen up. Yes, that house paint is durable and built to withstand elements if a good quality paint was applied. I can tell you this because I’ve spent the past 40 years dealing with house paints.
Mild strength detergents and small amounts of bleach will not harm your house paint finish. However, high strength bleach solutions can break down the finish on your home and cause the paint film itself to lose it’s resilience to mildew. You want to be careful of who does your house pressure washing or soft washing and always be mindful of the strength of cleaning solutions.
Soft wash is a trend in which large amounts of chemical are applied and do the cleaning action themselves and are then gently rinsed. Pressure washing is just that – using lots of pressure to clean surfaces. You want to make sure that whoever you hire is experienced and skilled in the use of both.
Mr. Curb Appeal Pressure Washing will not use force on anything except concrete. Nor will we use high strengths of bleach that will break down a paint film. We’re experienced to use just the right mix of equipment and cleaning solutions to beautify properties. The paint man in me is always looking to protect paint films while cleaning.
