· Do we have to be home when you clean?
A: In most cases no. Once you have
approved our estimate and an appointment time
has been scheduled, our technicians will arrive
as scheduled and will have a work order for
services to be performed.
· What chemicals do you use to clean with?
A: Great question! It really
depends on what we are cleaning and whether we
are treating for stains. For the most
part, we like to use a diluted emulsifier and
chlorine blended formula that has a fantastic
1-2 punch that lifts dirt, grime, grease,
hydro-carbon residue, and airborne pollutants
while killing mold, mildew and algae. With
a pH of about 11.8 to 12 in a 1% solution, this
unique blend quickly & safely cleans, leaving a
like-new finish every time!
· What about damage to plants and vegetation?
A: Damage to vegetation occurs when
bleach is allowed to dry on the leaves causing
burning. We can tarp if you prefer,
however we recommend wetting all vegetation
before, during & after cleaning. In a 1%
solution, the chemical blend we use is so
diluted it does not hurt plants when properly
used & rinsed.
· What causes the stripes in concrete after it has been cleaned?
A: The “stripes” you refer to are a
result of improper use of the surface (that
round thing that looks like a floor buffer)
cleaner and/or lack of proper chemical
treatment. Pressure Cleaning Orlando’s
technicians are trained to avoid zebra stripes
as if their job depends on it—because it does!
· Can Pressure Cleaning Orlando get rid of the big oil stains on our driveway?
A: Pressure Cleaning Orlando can
remove the oil residue, and significantly
lighten the area however carbon stains are inert
and are not receptive to chemical cleaning
compounds. Sealing the concrete will
prevent further damage.
· We have this powder-crusty looking white stuff on our pavers, tile, grout, concrete, bricks. What is it and can it be removed?
A: Most likely you have a case of
efflorescence. Pressure Cleaning
Orlando will give you a free analysis and
estimate to remove and prevent its return.
· We have black stripe marks on our gutters and facia. We have tried to clean them but they do not come off. Can Pressure Cleaning Orlando remove them?
A:
Our customers are amazed at how their
gutters and facias look new again after we clean
them with our specially formulated emulsifier.
· We have never heard of sealing concrete before. Why does Pressure Cleaning Orlando recommend it?
A: There are multiple benefits to sealing
your concrete. For starters, it saves you
money! Concrete that has been sealed is
stronger, resists cracking and will stay cleaner
up to four times longer that concrete that has
not been sealed. Maybe that is why other
pressure cleaning companies don’t mention it!

· Why should we hire Pressure Cleaning Orlando when we can rent a pressure washer and clean our screen room, pool deck house and concrete ourselves and save money?
A: In order to duplicate the
professional quality cleaning job you receive
from Pressure Cleaning Orlando, you will spend
(if you factor in the cost of your time and the
chemicals we use) more than you will renting
equipment that is not commercial grade. In
addition, many times homeowners cause unwanted
damage to themselves or their property due to
inexperience with the equipment.
· Another company gave us an estimate that looks better than the one we received from Pressure Cleaning Orlando. Why should we pay more for the same service?
A: We are not saying you should.
It is our policy to meet or beat any
comparable estimate. You will
notice that Pressure Cleaning Orlando does
not compare itself to other companies.
That is because we do not know of any company
that uses the same chemical formulations and
cleaning techniques that we have proven work
best. We have spent countless hours
researching, talking with industry experts and
testing chemical formulations from the top
manufacturing companies to gain the knowledge
that only a few in our business can match.
We know that you will not find a fully licensed
and insured pressure cleaning contractor with
the experience and knowledge we have that will
do a better job for your money.
· How often should we have our property cleaned?
A: That really depends on a number
of factors. In
