Why Should You Choose Us?

Well, for starters, pressure washing, pressure cleaning, power washing, whatever you choose to call it, is our specialty. A pressure washing machine is only one part of the entire cleaning process and plain old water just isn't going to cut it, especially when you're living in one of the most humid states in the union. To get results that are above and beyond, one must also use professional grade cleaning agents made for Florida's climate. But more importantly, these cleaning agents should be compatible with all of your homes different surfaces such as your glass, paint, aluminum, even rubber seals. *Using a degreaser on your home is definitely not recommend. Anything that's designed to dissolve oil spots on a driveway will definitely streak, fade or dry out anything made of petroleum on your home such as your house paint, (yes, latex contains petrol oils), your window seals, your screens, even your aluminum powder coating and patio furniture. But lots of contract cleaners use it because it's cheap and easy to find locally. You want a cleaning contractor that uses professional grade "housewash" designed to loosen and remove dirt and grime from birds, lizards, frogs and lawn care workers to make your paint look like new again. Our housewash also contains chelating agents so your windows and glass doors look like they were buffed out. No need to squeegee! Your housewash should also contain a mildewcidal agent that can penetrate, kill and sanitize mold prone areas such as around windows, doors, pavers, decks, even the outdoor ceilings of your front entrance and covered lanai areas. When we are finished, your entire home exterior will be completely sanitized. The contractor you choose should also use a rust and stain remover to remove fertilizer, rust and water stains from your walls and concrete areas without damage to your plants, paint and glass that other cleaning agents can't touch. You will also want someone with a gutter cleaner to remove the black oil streaks and gray dinginess from your gutters without harming the powder coating which means it must be effective and gentle. And finally, you will need someone that isn't scared to use some elbow grease with some specialty brushes that can remove streaks from your gutters, remove cobwebs and scrub out mud dauber nests from your outdoor drywall ceiling areas and around windows and doors where high pressure cannot be used.
*If your contractor shows up with anything less, then you are risking high pressure damage for inferior results.
See how the screen is hanging? We walk Charlie by this cage every day. Well, two weeks ago they had someone over to clean their pool cage and I got to see them at work. The first thing I noticed was that he wasn't using any cleaning agents. He was only using high pressure with an extension pole to reach the top of the cage. I told Andrea, he is using too much pressure to be that close to screens. The next day, we saw the screen dangling and the top areas of the frame that he missed. You should be able to enlarge the picture.
Unfortunately, most contract cleaners only use "high pressure" to clean. They are easy to spot because when they show up, all they bring is a pressure washing machine. The main problem with cleaning with plain water is that it does nothing to kill or retard the regrowth of mold and mildew. Plain water will not remove most stains and bearing down on it with high pressure will only damage the surface or expose the aggragate of your concrete. It also does not remove musty odors or sanitize the damp, moldy surfaces around your home. A deeper cleaning makes it difficult for mold to return and start growing again. When cleaning with just plain water, you can expect mold to come back in 2 to 3 months, even if you clean with hot water. Our customers tell us that when we clean, it stays clean almost twice as long as other contract cleaners. Part of the reason for this is because without killing the mold beforehand, pressure washing with plain water simply atomizes and scatters mold particles and spores all around the area you're cleaning. So, a simple deck cleaning can spread mold onto everything inside the pool cage including the cage frame and its screens, your furniture, drywall ceilings, windows and sliding glass doors where it begins its comeback. Even if they rinse everything off. Using plain water also won't remove rust, fertilizer or plant stains from your walls, pool deck, driveway and sidewalks. The truth is, a pressure washing machine can only clean so deep. At a microscopic level, surfaces can look like valleys, holes and caves and while you may be removing surface dirt and stains, you are also pushing some of that dirt and grime even deeper into those pores. Once high pressure has done all it can do, raising the pressure any further will only degrade the surface, so it is important to have a cleaning agent with high performance surfactants to provide deeper, more thorough cleaning results than pressure washing alone. Our professional grade housewash contains super surfactants that allow it to penetrate into a stain, break their chemical bond and allow us to lift the dirt particles off your walls, glass and deck. The "rinse" then sweeps the dirt away with much less pressure. Less pressure means less chance of damage to your walls, soffits, windows and less overspray on your patio furniture, sliding glass doors and walls. These cleaning agents are so important, I won't even show up to a job without them. That's why anyone you hire must know more than just how to operate a pressure washing machine.
So, when someone shows up with only a pressure washing machine, don't expect a top-level cleaning. If their method of reducing pressure to clean around windows, doors and soffits is to back away from the surface to "lower" the pressure to prevent damaging your home, they cannot possibly clean your home properly from 3 or 4 feet away. Cleaning around your windows and doors requires very low pressure, streak-free cleaners for the glass and hand scrubbing with special brushes to remove mud dauber nests, webs and insect debris from the window sills and frame. That's why we have a "process". We follow a routine procedure to ensure consistent results and attention to detail on every home, every time. That's why some of our customers have been with us over 15 years.
Soft Washing Is All We've Ever Offered
"Soft washing" is a term used to describe a method of cleaning that uses a higher volume of water with a lower amount of pressure. Not everyone can offer "soft washing" because "large volume pumps" are more expensive than smaller "high pressure pumps". A larger water volume output means more soap can be applied for a better cleaning and provide a more thorough rinsing, which means a better cleaning. The biggest drawbacks of using smaller machines is that they put out less water and soap making them unable to apply enough soap to be effective. Another drawback is that it takes longer to rinse which if allowed to dry, can cause streaks or oxidize your paint. Rinsing soap off your windows and walls before Florida's hot sun dries it is very important if you want to avoid streaks on your glass and paint damage. Like anyting, there's a right way and a wrong way and I'm lucky to have been taught the proper way.
So, What Can You Expect?
Well, with Scrubbing Bubbles, you can expect superior work quality at reasonable prices. Customers keep telling us that we are a "premium" service compared to others and that we are actually more like a home detailing service than pressure washing business. Your gutters, soffits, window frames and pool cages will be as white as possible, your windows look like they were buffed out and your paint and concrete areas will look like new again. We want your friends, your neighbors and anyone else who comes to visit you to be impressed at how impeccably clean you keep your home.
Your home's walls, your pool deck, driveway and sidewalks will be pre-treated for rust and water stains as well as the black and green mold stains that pressure washing can't remove. Windows, doors, front entrance and soffits will be inspected and brushed where necessary to remove any insect buildup or bees and wasps nests before I even start my machine. Heavy mold and algae will be treated and killed just prior to our oh, so soft-wash cleaning that will engulf your home in our famous "scrubbing bubbles". No high pressure will be used on your home or pool cage. When we clean inside your pool cage or lanai area, this includes all enclosed walls, windows and sliding glass doors. Your deck or pavers will be treated for mold and your patio furniture will be cleaned. We clean under everything, then put everything back. We rinse everything away from your pool so little to no debris enters your pool and everything is pushed out the doors.
