Preparing Your Home or Business for Pressure Washing
At Crocodile Window Cleaning & Pressure Washing, we know that pressure washing is one of the most effective ways to restore the look of your property. Whether we're providing solar panel cleaning for your home or parking lot washing for your commercial store, preparing properly before our team arrives makes the process smoother, safer, and more effective. A little preparation on your part goes a long way in ensuring the best results.
Why Preparation Matters
Pressure washing involves high-powered equipment that removes dirt, grime, and buildup. Without preparation, certain surfaces or items may be at risk of damage, or the process could take longer than needed. By taking steps ahead of time, you’ll protect your property while also helping our crew focus on delivering the deep clean you’re looking for.
Clear the Work Area
One of the first steps is to make sure the area we’ll be cleaning is clear of obstacles. Move vehicles, bicycles, patio furniture, potted plants, and decorative items away from the space. If we’re cleaning driveways, sidewalks, or pool decks, moving these items gives us full access and prevents accidental overspray.
Protect Delicate Surfaces
Certain materials, like outdoor lighting, electrical outlets, or fragile décor, should be covered or protected before washing begins. If you have plants or landscaping near the area being cleaned, watering them beforehand can help dilute any cleaning solution that may come in contact.
Secure Windows And Doors
Water can easily find its way into small gaps if windows or doors aren’t sealed tightly. Double-check that all windows are shut, doors are closed, and weather stripping is in good condition. This is especially important for older properties that may have more vulnerable seals.
Communicate Special Concerns
Every property is unique. If there are areas of your home or business that need special attention—or areas that should be avoided—let us know before the cleaning begins. For example, older wood surfaces or freshly painted areas may need a softer touch. We provide skilled pressure washing for Orange County and Long Beach, so you can count on us to tailor our approach to fit your property’s needs.
A Quick Checklist For Homeowners And Business Owners
To make it easier, here’s a simple checklist to follow before we arrive:
- Remove outdoor furniture, vehicles, and decorative items from the work area.
- Cover or protect delicate surfaces and outdoor electrical fixtures.
- Water plants and landscaping close to cleaning zones.
- Make sure all windows and doors are closed and sealed.
- Share any special requests or concerns with our crew.
