FAQs & Resources | Pleasant Hill, MO | Power Clean Solutions

What is the difference between power washing and soft washing?
Power washing uses high-pressure water (often 1300+ PSI) for durable surfaces like concrete and brick. Soft washing uses low pressure (under 500 PSI) combined with specialized detergents for delicate surfaces like siding, stucco, and roofs, killing mold and algae at the root without causing damage.
Is soft washing safe for my home's siding and roof?
Yes, absolutely. Soft washing is the recommended, safest method for most residential exteriors in KC. It relies on the chemical cleaning agents, not brute water force, to ensure your siding and shingles are protected from stripping or cracking.
How often should I schedule exterior cleaning for my KC property?
Most Kansas City homes benefit from a full exterior wash (house and concrete) once every 12 to 18 months. Factors like shade, tree coverage, and local humidity may require more frequent attention to prevent heavy mold and algae buildup.
Do I need to be home for the service appointment?
No, you do not need to be home for the cleaning. However, we ask that you ensure all windows and doors are closed, and access to the exterior water spigot is available. We will perform a final inspection upon completion and communicate results remotely.
Are your cleaning solutions safe for my landscaping and pets?
We use professional-grade, environmentally conscious cleaning agents. During the prep phase, we thoroughly pre-soak and rinse all surrounding plants and landscaping to ensure our solutions are diluted and do not cause any harm.
How long does a typical full house wash take?
The time varies based on the size of the home and additional services. A standard residential soft wash generally takes between 2 to 4 hours. We provide a precise time estimate when you book your service.
What about rust or set-in oil stains on my driveway?
We use specialized rust and oil-specific removal solutions combined with high-powered pressure washing. While we can successfully lift and eradicate the vast majority of deep, set-in stains, complete removal depends on the age and depth of the stain.
Why should I hire a professional instead of doing it myself?
Professional service guarantees safety and results. We have commercial-grade equipment and the expertise to use the correct pressure and solution for every surface, preventing expensive damage that can be caused by DIY attempts.
Do you clean the inside of my windows, or just the exterior?
Our professional window cleaning service includes both the interior and exterior of the glass, along with wiping down the frames and sills for a complete, streak-free result.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes, Power Clean Solutions, LLC is a fully insured company. This protects both our team and your property, giving you complete peace of mind throughout the entire service process.
