Revamping Your Home And Pressure Washing

When the time comes to revamp or give your home a major overhaul there are a great number of things you can do to breathe life back into your dwelling. There is of course new furniture, new paint, and new flooring to consider but it behooves you not to overlook the importance of thoroughly cleaning your home during this process. Cleaning is one of the most important aspects of revamping a home but it often goes overlooked by all but the most fastidious of homeowners. A deep cleaning will not only breathe new life into an older home but it can restore luster and protect it from future damage as well.

Pressure washing is of the utmost importance when you set out to restore your home and return it to a new-like state. The vast majority of homeowners are surprised to learn of not only how effective pressure washing is but just how many surfaces it can treat and protect. Below are just a few of the areas that a professional pressure washer can restore around a home.

Driveways: Driveways are at the forefront of a home and they are one of the first things both you and guests see as they arrive. Additionally, the high level of vehicular traffic they endure makes driveways one of dirtiest areas in or around a home. A professional pressure washer can remove tire marks, leaked and stained engine fluids, and all the debris left behind by both foliage and playing children.

Walkways: Walkways are the gateway to a home and the first area you and your visitors enter. As time passes however, walkways are often neglected and fall into a rather unsightly state. Heavy foot traffic, pests, pets, children, and weather all take a heavy toll on walkways. Sure sweeping helps and nearly every homeowner does this but in order to keep a walkway truly clean it'll need the attention of a professional pressure washer roughly twice a year. The high powered steam and cleaning solutions will make walkways look as though they were recently built and set and restore their warmth.

Decks And Patios: Decks and patios play host to family gatherings, BBQ's, rambunctious children, and often double as a resting spot for both homeowners and even pets. Moreover, decks and patios are often neighbored by bushes, trees, and sometimes swimming pools. All of the aforementioned, in conjunction with weather, can sully and dull a deck or patio in a relativity short span of time. It matters not whether your deck or patio is made of concrete, wood, vinyl, or some other material, it's going to get dirty and to a point where simple cleaning isn't going to keep it in a usable state. Professional pressure washing services rid decks and patios of stains, oils, and all types of pests, dirt, mold, and all other forms of stubborn debris. The solutions used by the pros also acts as a protectant and makes decks and patios much more resilient to the things that can harm them.

Your Garage: Garages are often thought of as the "dungeon" of a home. This is because even when they're not used for car storage, a garage is usually utilized as a storage unit. The totes and boxes stored in a garage attract household pets, hold onto all sorts of odors, and if a garage doubles as a "fix it" area there will be grease stains, additional smells, scratches, etc. Pressure washing services will remove all of these things, protect your garage, and make it suitable for much more than just storage.

Stucco And Brick Walls: Professional pressure washers operated by experienced hands can remove the obstinate of stains and marks from stucco and brick surfaces. More than that however, they will restore and protect these surfaces from further damage. Say goodbye to caked on mold, mud, dead insects, living pests, and the dull listless color of neglected stucco and brick surfaces.

Why Professional Pressure Washing Services?

While many homeowners attempt to clean any of the aforementioned surfaces themselves during a revamp or deep home cleaning, they rarely produce substantial results. Professional pressure washers not only use state of the art high powered industrial grade tools, but they make use of multiple solutions when cleaning and protecting the surfaces of a home as well. The combination of their tools and experience also means that they work fast and will complete their job in a matter of hours...not days or an entire weekend. Professional pressure washers are also incredibly affordable and normally charge by the square foot. When you add up the time you'll spend doing the work yourself, the lackluster results your work will yield, and the amount of money you'll spend on renting sub par retail grade equipment the cost of a professional is well justified.

Carpet Cleaning

Carpets are a staple in every home and why shouldn't they be? Carpeting adds vibrancy to a room and can even help create specific moods or atmospheres in the rooms they are a part of. Because carpets are so important many people go to great lengths to keep them clean; all to varying degrees of success. Most people, at the very least, vacuum their carpets on a regular basis and pick up after themselves and their children. Others will take things a step further and use retail brand carpet sprays and a brush to remove spots and stains. On occasion, people will rent a carpet shampooer from their local retail or home improvement store. While all of the aforementioned measures are great in terms of effort not all of them will keep carpets as clean as they should be nor will some of them restore a carpet to its original vibrancy. Moreover, being that there are many different types of carpeting, the do-it-yourselfer may inadvertently damage their carpets by misusing tools, utilizing the wrong ones, or by applying improper cleaning solutions.

If one aims to clean their carpets thoroughly there is of course the option of hiring a professional carpet cleaner. Going this route takes the burden and responsibility associated with this work off the shoulders of the homeowner and places it on the shoulders of those with the experience and tools to do the job efficiently, quickly, and thoroughly. For those who can not afford to hire a professional carpet cleaner and those who simply prefer to do the work themselves, there are a few things to watch out for and be mindful of.

Do Your Homework

When someone decides to give their carpets a thorough cleaning it behooves them to do their homework. By using the internet a person can easily find out how to clean their carpets properly and without damaging them. Such persons should find out what type of carpet they are going to be working with, what type of tools work best on that carpet, and which cleaning solutions are safe. There is also plenty of information on how to clean a carpet properly and it is usually presented in a step by step break down.

The Carpet Cleaning Process

The carpet cleaning process isn't necessarily complicated but if the job is done using proper steps the results will be fantastic.

• Applying Suction – The carpet cleaning process should always begin with a thorough vacuuming. Standard retail bought vacuums work fine but a high end vacuum will coax stubborn debris out of its resting place before removing it.

• Pre-Cleaning Spray – Before rigorous cleaning can begin in earnest, a stain loosening cleaning solution needs to be sprayed over carpeting in its entirety. This solution will not only break stains up so that they can be removed but will also dissolve the waxy buildup that grows on carpets over time. Once applied this solution need to sit for no more than 15 minutes before the real cleaning can begin.

• A Good Scrubbing – Once the aforementioned solution has had time to absorb into a carpet and do it's job, a hot water shampooing unit should be used in order to remove any and all debris during this part of the process. Homeowners should be wary however as the units available for rent at retail stores aren't all that effective in scrubbing nor sucking up debris. Consider spending a few extra dollars and rent an industrial strength Rotovac designed for this very purpose.

• Post Cleaning Solution – This step in the carpet cleaning process is near impossible to do without a Rotovac or reasonable facsimile. During this process these high powered units lay down a protective solution that keeps carpets from incurring damage and becoming overly filthy. This solutions protects carpets for about six months and is also stain and spill prohibitive.

• Air Dry – The final step in the carpet cleaning process is of course its drying out. During the hours following a thorough carpet cleaning it's imperative that no foot see fresh carpet. Wet carpet is a conduit for debris so keep everyone and everything clear. The amount of time it takes for a carpet to dry out will depend largely on what time of year its cleaned and whether or not there are fans running at the time. Professionals often use large fans to facilitate quick drying. Carpets without the assistance of fans normally dry out anywhere from within a few hours to an entire day. Homeowners can run their own fans and open windows to help the process along. If someone must walk over freshly cleaned carpet remember to wear booties over shoes and bare feet.

The Professional Alternative

Cleaning carpet thoroughly is an arduous task at it's easiest and is rather time consuming as well. It is for these reasons that many people opt to hire professional carpet cleaners as an alternative to doing the job themselves. Hiring a pro to tackle this job allows persons to do something much more fun with their free time and ensures that they get the end results they want. These services are surprisingly affordable and especially so when you juxtapose them with the time and money it takes to do the work yourself. Additionally most professionals offer free quotes and even on site estimates without obligation.

Extending The Life Of Your Awnings

Awnings add character, luster, and value to any home that they are a part of. Their great beauty and fantastic designs belie a problem that all awnings have however. This being the fact that all awnings must be kept clean if they are to retain the high level of beauty and value they are associated with. Awnings are often thought of as high maintenance because they often reside under or near trees and bushes. Foliage attracts pests and can also drop a great deal of debris onto awnings that then dirty them up and even damage them after just short periods of time. The good news here is that awnings aren't overly difficult to clean. By cleaning them yourself or by hiring a professional on a regular basis you'll positively affect the longevity of your awnings and keep them looking great for longer periods of time. More to the point, cleaning them with regularity staves off the need for thorough deep cleanings and repairs.

As Simple As It Gets

Professional awning cleaners recommend that owners rinse their awnings off with water once a month. Home and business owners that do this will remove the majority of the dirt, debris, and pests that gather on their awnings. Running water prohibits dirt from embedding itself in the fabric of an awning which means fewer or no stains at all to worry about. It will also keep pollen and plant matter from building up. Best of all...rinsing them off 12 times a year negates the need for fabric replacement and any sort of repair.

A Couple Of Additional Measures

Those whom live in climates where extreme weather is the norm will want to go the extra mile for their awnings when engaging in monthly cleanings. One of the most important aspects of an awning is it's fabric. This fabric should be removed and washed in household washing machine and then air dried for maximum effect. Washing machines are great at removing stains yet gentle enough to leave awning fabric intact. Conversely, awning fabrics should never be dry cleaned nor put into industrial washing machines lest they be damaged.

Home and business owners can also use a ladder and a light scrubbing brush to remove both loose and caked in debris from their awnings and without too much trouble either. A mild dish washing soap, without detergent, will also be helpful in removing light stains as well as some obstinate debris. By applying this soap mixed with water to awning fabric and allowing to sit 10 minutes before scrubbing, individuals will save themselves a great deal of time and hassle.

Calling In The Professionals

Though the monthly rinsing of awnings keeps problems to a minimum and keeps them looking sharp year round, there will eventually come a time where awnings need more than running water to keep them healthy. While homeowners certainly hire professional awning cleaners so that they don't have to do any of the recommend rinsing themselves, awnings should be seen by and receive a deep cleaning from a professional on a biannual basis. This twice a year visit from a local pro will address all the small issues that build up over the course of the year. Left neglected these small issue become noticeable over time and are notoriously tough to fix. When professional awning services are used in conjunction with routine do-it-yourself maintenance, awnings can be kept in such a healthy state that they last for decades without issue.

Hiring A Professional Commercial Window Cleaner

Today's business world is not only fast and always evolving but it's extremely competitive as well. If there was ever a time when 'you only get one chance to make a first impression” it's now. With so many companies vying for the attention of your potential customers, you can ill afford to make a tepid or even poor first impression. While there is a lot that goes into impressing would be clients one of the most important is a clean and professional office environment. One of the most overlooked aspects of a clean working space is a building's windows. This oversight is usually a byproduct of simply not wanting to do the work and other times not having the time and/or tools to do the job. For those whom own or work in multiple storied buildings there's also the issue of safety. Climbing ladders while working with water and cleaning solutions can be a dangerous job and one that results in injury.


So what then is a business owner or manager supposed to do to ensure that their windows remain in a pristine state? It is quite impractical for the owners of a business to do the work themselves and insurance reasons alone will prevent the work from being done by employees who were hired to do another job. This is where the practicality of hiring a professional Orange County window cleaner comes into clear view. Hiring such professionals takes the burden off the shoulders of people whom aren't trained in the work and places it on persons who bring experience and industrial grade tools to the job.

Why Hire A Professional Window Cleaner?

A business owner and those who own commercial structures hire professional window cleaners for a variety of reasons.

• Impeccable Results – Professional window cleaners are put through rigorous training long before they are sent out to a job site. This training ensures a high quality of work and teaches window cleaners how to care for a building as if it where their own. All of this leads to the type of results that only professionals can produce. These persons will leave windows looking like new and can even restore their original luster and shine. Furthermore, windows this clean are conducive to higher employee moral and a higher level of productivity.
  
• The Right Tools For The Right Job – Whereas the do-it-yourselfer might use a retail cleaning solution, a simple cloth, and a cheap squeegee, a professional window cleaner brings with them state of the art cleaning solutions, tools, and the knowledge needed to use them efficiently. The pros always provide their own miscellaneous tools such as ladders, disposal bags, etc.
  
• Safety – It might not be immediately obvious but window cleaning can be a dangerous job. Sure, windows at ground level aren't all that difficult to clean nor are those just above that but once extension poles, hoses, ladders and the like all come into the picture, the risk of falls, slips, bruises, cuts, and even broken bones rises exponentially. When you hire a professional to clean your windows your risk of injury falls to zero and professionals rarely, if ever, get hurt.

• Saving Time – The act of cleaning windows is a time consuming one. Laypersons whom take this task upon themselves will spend days trying to clean their workspace. Professional window cleaners however can complete both the exterior and interior of windows in a matter of hours...not days. Business owners and managers have...well businesses to run. They should not be responsible for the cleanliness and maintenance of the building they occupy.

• Insurance And Lawsuits – Businesses do not carry the type of insurance that covers window work for employees that were hired to do something else. Any business or building owner who might consider asking employees to wash their buildings windows must not only be prepared for a backlash but potential lawsuits as well. Professional window cleaners are licensed, bonded, and carry workman's compensation insurance so that their clients nor your employees are never responsible for damages and/or injuries.

• Keep Tenants Happy – Those whom lease spaces in commercial buildings for work shouldn't have to pay for maintenance themselves. This is something landlords and management companies have paid for. Its come to be expected in the modern world and it is a great way to instill confidence in tenants...and keep them in your building for years to come.

So Many To Choose From

With so many professional window cleaning firms and individuals to choose from, finding the right one for your commercial building can be quite the daunting task. In decades past one had only the Yellow Pages and word of mouth to rely on when considering a firm. These days however the internet is with you everywhere you go. Never hire a professional without first using the internet to read reviews, speak with other customers (past and present), and without interviewing the firm you're interested in. Following the aforementioned suggestions will help you weed out the less reputable companies and find one that fits both your needs and budget.

With so many things that can plague a messy or neglected home why don't more homeowners do more to keep their houses in pristine states?

Picking up after pets, children, and ourselves helps keep a home in order though it doesn't do much of anything with regards to addressing long standing issues like stains, neglected counter tops or ranges, nor the places of a home that are overlooked during a routine cleaning. In addition to the rather arduous nature of a thorough house cleaning there's the issue of time. Ensuring all parts of a home are clean is a time consuming venture and one that many homeowners would prefer to avoid whenever possible. Very few individuals are going to clean their homes before or after work nor do most people want to do anything but rest during their down time.

Quick Things To Consider About Solar Panels

Alternative energy is one of the best things to look into today. You may not immediately think that you can go far with this because in the past it’s been cost prohibitive but times are changing. If you want to work with alternative solutions such as solar panels then you will want to look into options that can help you get power from the sun. If you want to work with solar paneling for your home or other properties make sure that you take a few considerations before you move forward with installing anything.

Is Your Home In The Right Location For Solar Panels? 

The first thing that you need to take into consideration is whether or not your home is in a good location for solar power. Not only will you need space to have the panels, you will need to be located in a place where there’s a lot of sunlight, and energy that comes through for a great part of the day. That means not having a lot of trees or shadows that hang over your roof.

Will You Save Money With Solar Panels? 

At first glance you’re going to find that you’ll be able to get paneling up. Will this save you money though? Not everyone that gets solar paneling will save money through it. That’s something that you’re going to have to take into consideration. Sure, you will be helping the environment, which is a great thing, but you should take into account that you may not save a ton of money. You may very well end up not saving that much but your carbon footprint will diminish overall.

Can You Maintain The Solar Panels Over Time? 

Once you place solar panels on your home you’re going to find that you will need to maintain the panels properly. If you don’t maintain them you will not get the power you want from the paneling themselves. The cost of panels could be quite a bit but maintaining them is going to ensure that you’re able to keep them over time. If you do not clean them, maintain them, and ensure that you take out broken pieces, you will need to replace a whole panel, which can cost a great deal of money.

At the end of the day, you’ll need to take into consideration the price, the location, and the installation process of your paneling. This is an important thing to not rush through, that’s for certain.

Pressure Washing and Landscaping Creates Many Benefits

Keeping a business attractive is an important part of keeping clients happy. When you have a business, no matter what the scale is, you’ll want to ensure that the exteriors always look great.

If you haven’t thought about this recently, then perhaps it’s time to look into the bigger picture that comes with this. You’ll find that there are several elements that come with pressure washing, landscaping, and keeping your business facade looking great.

The Curb Appeal

 

A term that is often used in real estate is the notion of curb appeal. This is something that is noted when someone steps out of their vehicle and sees the property from the curb, in order to denote whether they want to buy it or not. The same can be said about business. If the facade of your business looks great then people will want to come and patronize it. If it looks terrible, dirty, and full of debris, and gardening problems they will most likely walk away. That’s not a good thing mind you. With pressure washing, you can rest assured that people will come through your business and see that it’s great from the curb to the interiors and more.

Give Your Workers A Sense of Pride 

 

When you clean up the exterior of your business you’ll be offering an incentive to the workers inside. They will take pride in the fact that you’re working to ensure that the exterior of the business looks great. Landscaping and pressure washing can help spruce things up. With concrete and wall exteriors getting cleaned and cleared of dirt, debris, mold, mildew, and grime, you’ll find that things can look brand new. Of course, landscaping can seal the deal with an exterior design that is alluring, and welcoming to everyone that comes by, and of course, employees that work inside.

Peace of Mind

 

Perhaps the best thing about having your property cleaned with pressure washing and updating with landscaping is the fact that it will look great. That delivers on peace of mind. Peace of mind is hard to really put a finger on until you realize that you have it. Knowing your business looks good, from the exterior, and upgraded elements with landscaping, can ensure that your property is doing great, and looking good, even if you’re there to inspect every element yourself.

All too often commercial window cleaning is viewed as being overly expensive and even intrusive. What many people don't know is that Orange County professional window cleaners can and will do their work after traditional business hours have ended and on the weekends.

Sure these things might be superficial to some degree but looks matter in this world as do first impressions. Professionals don't want to arrive at an unkempt office for business dealings and home buyers will often pass on homes with poor curb appeal. Professional window cleaning services aren't the be all end all solution to a home or office's cleaning issues but they are one very big and important part of the puzzle. These types of services are designed to deliver the type of results that simply aren't possible when one does it themselves.

What Are The Benefits Of Window Cleaning Services?

Regardless of what retail tools they may possess and how vigorously they might work, laypersons never have the same level of success that professionals do.

In short...anyone with windows can benefit from regular professional window cleaning visits.

How Often Should I Have My Windows Cleaned?

Different windows have different needs. Windows that have been well maintained for example will need less attention from a professional than will those windows left to time and in a state of neglect. Cloudy windows that are difficult to see through in either direction will not only need a rigorous initial cleaning but may need restorative services and additional treatments. More to the point, windows that exist in climates with harsh or extreme temperatures will need far more visits from a professional than will those in more temperate climates. All of this is true for both homes and for commercial buildings. Rain and other types of precipitation wreak havoc on windows as does constant sun, high heat, and wind.

What Is The Average Cost Of Window Cleaning Services?

It's a common misconception that professional window cleaning services are outrageously expensive. In truth the cost of services is relatively cheap, especially when you consider what it costs to try and do the job yourself. That said, costs do vary depending on what type of windows you have, how many you have, how frequently you want them cleaned, when you want them cleaned, and the initial condition your windows are in when professionals arrive on site. Again, when in doubt it's best to consult with a professional window cleaner either via the internet or a phone call.

If you can’t get some of the debris out leave it for the time being and keep your focus on what is easily removed.

The Drain Pipes

The next thing that you should do is clear the drain pipes. Doing so will allow you to rinse your gutters with water or a cleaning solution and allow all of it to drain properly. Stubborn blockages should be addressed with a plumber’s snake or a thick hanger if need be. Clear drain pipes help reduce build up in the main tracks of your gutters.

The Final Blast

Once you have adequately pulled, cleared, and cleaned gutters and drain pipes, you will want to use a hose to spread water throughout the interior of the gutters and downspouts. You want to use the high pressure setting of your garden hose and get water blasted through the area and that’s it. Don’t wait for the rainy season to do this mind you. Get this done before the rainy season comes and you’ll be prepared for Mother Nature when she brings the precipitation.

If you are going to work with cleaning this option, no matter how much copper abounds, take into consideration a few simple tips and tricks that can help you get things clean with natural resources.  

The Power of Lemon

The first solution to consider is that of lemon. Lemon solutions are interesting in that you will be able to clean things with the power of the citric acid that comes from this fruit. You can take a lemon and get 1 tablespoon of liquid and mix that with 1 tablespoon of baking soda. Mix them together and it will make a paste, and you can use that to literally clean and polish copper surfaces with relative ease. Just this small mix can help you garner a great deal of cleaning power.

Another solution that you can use to get things clean is with a lemon and salt. You will need enough salt and the juice from a whole lemon to make a paste. Once you have this paste formed, you can rub the paste on the copper surface that you want to clean, and then rinse things off with warm water. Use a microfiber cloth to clean off excess, and you’ll have a clearly defined, shiny copper surface overall.

Using Vinegar

Another natural option that you can use is that of vinegar and salt together. You can use vinegar and salt poured onto the copper to rub them clean with ease. You will want to use a dry, microfiber cloth with the mix of salt and vinegar alongside the tarnished areas that you have, and you will get a fully cleaned surface without any harsh chemicals.

One last solution that you may want to look into is that of vegetable oil. Some individuals will take advantage of using just a little dab of vegetable oil to clean the surface of copper solutions every day or so. These options are relegated to natural cleaning power, and can work wonders for copper surfaces. As long as you don’t wait too long to get started with cleaning these areas, you’ll end up with a good overall solution, and powerful cleansers that will not cause any damage to the surface of your copper items.

Simple Secrets For Building Efficient Solar Paneling Without The High Price

It has become easier than ever to work with residential solar panels. You will find a lot of guides online that will help you get started and often without spending a whole lot of money. With these modern updates you’re going to find that you can always start working with solar paneling. But what about efficiency? Could you make the panels more efficient? Could you harness even more power from the sun’s rays? The short answer is yes! Here are a few simple tactics that can transform your paneling project into something a bit more efficient.

The Glass You Use

The first thing that you should do is use a specific type of glass for your panels. The best option here is to look for anti-reflective glass solutions. That is going to help you gain more energy because the sunlight and rays will not bounce off the panels but rather hit them straight on and get more leverage overall. When you use anti-reflective glass you end up with a stronger rush of energy for your battery backups just for starters. Some energy outputs have seen an increase of 50% due to the glass used in the paneling.

Using The Angles Correctly

There’s several angles that your home will have to face the sun. You need to find the best angles and use the panels that you are installing to accentuate the gathering of the sunlight. To do this you’ll need to monitor your home’s exposure to sunlight at various stages of the day and focus on putting the panels at angles that will garner the most light during the day. This may take a few tries so make sure that you measure the light exposure ratio a great deal before you install panels and leave them be. You can always adjust the paneling later but it’s best to measure twice before you install, just in case you find something better than expected.

Clean The Panels Often

The next big thing that you should adhere to when trying to get more efficient solar paneling is to clean your panels. Many people set and forget their panels. Don’t do that. You need maximum exposure to the sun which means that you’ll need to periodically check, dust, clean, and wipe off your panels. Do not let this go too long without cleaning. This will help you ensure that your panels get maximum efficiency and will pay off dividends.

With the three major tips found here you’ll no doubt get a stronger push forward with the suns rays and will see better percentages with your panels.
