Orange County WIndow Cleaning: What is Pressure Washing?

"Pressure Washing" or "Power Washing" is a cleaning technique that we use here at Stanley Window Cleaning, but not everyone is familiar with what the process involves. To put it simply, we use specialized equipment to fit each individual situation. Some chemicals aren't good for wood, some equipment is too powerful for residential windows and may void your warranty. There are special nozzles for cleaning something like gum off hardscape and decks, and another for putting shine in your windows. What we can wash includes:

  • Dirt and mildew build up on glass
  • Driveways
  • Roofs
  • Concrete
  • Hardscapes (stone, etc.), and other exterior surfaces removing moss, dirt, gum, stains, etc.
