You will need a soft bristle brush, a garden hose, and sunny weather for swift drying.

Start by removing loose leaves and debris. Then, you will need to remove any stains by soaking the screens using a hose and gently scrubbing the stains with your bristle brush. Once you’ve removed all the loose debris and stains you can let it dry.

Pressure Washing

One of the most convenient methods to cleaning screen enclosures is by pressure washing them.

What Parts of Your House Can Be Pressure Washed?

June 5, 2020 / / Comments Off on What Parts of Your House Can Be Pressure Washed?

Want to freshen up your home? One way to get your house effectively cleaned is with a pressure wash. A powerful spray of water combined with potent washing agents can provide you with the deep clean you’re looking for. Pressure washing is recommended for exterior surfaces, which means that places like your driveway and wood deck are perfect candidates. For more areas that are pressure wash approved, continue reading!

Brick and Concrete

When the rainy season hits, it’s more common to see growth of mold and mildew around your house. The moisture on the ground can spur growths between the cracks of your brick or concrete, leaving behind unwanted green and black spots. Fortunately, a pressure wash can fix that. On a low powered setting, a jet of water and cleaning solution can remove the spores and prevent them from growing back quickly.

Vinyl Siding

Even the cleanest vinyl siding gets dirty after a while. If there are layers of dirt and mildew forming on the surface, you can use a pressure washing machine for an easy removal process. Working from the top of the siding to the bottom, the hot water will wash away any dirt and grime. Just be cautious that the water doesn’t spray into any door or windows, as this may cause your interior to get wet too.

Wood

Do you have a wood deck or patio cover? These outdoor places will need to be cleaned every so often, especially to preserve the appearance of the wood. However, it’s important to work with a test area before spraying. You don’t want to damage the wood with a high-powered stream. Adjust the nozzle to control the pressure, which will allow you to turn the psi up or down.

Conclusion

At Oceantime Pressure Washing LLC, we are dedicated to providing our clients with quality results. Our professionals are here to assist you with your pressure washing needs. If you have any questions about our services, we’re happy to help. Contact us at (904)-994-0045 or visit our website today!

Why You Should Hire A Professional Pressure Washing Service

May 21, 2020 / / Comments Off on Why You Should Hire A Professional Pressure Washing Service

With spring beginning to turn to summer, more and more parties and celebrations are being planned. When you’re hosting a party or even just preparing to enjoy your own front and back yard more, a pressure washing is in need! Read this month’s blog to learn why you should hire a professional to get the job done!

Safety

A professional who has worked with a pressure washing machine before knows exactly what type of power is behind the machine. If you’ve never done it before, you’ll be surprised at just how intense it is. If you are caught off guard you may find yourself falling, slipping, or injuring yourself. Don’t take the risk by assuming you can handle it. 

Surface Knowledge

As discussed above, pressure washing is powerful. Not every surface is able to withstand that much pressure. If you are unaware, you may cause some serious and costly damage to structures around your house. Hiring a professional who knows for certain what to wash and where to skip is the best way to ensure you won’t make any pricey accidents. 

Mixtures

Many assume that a pressure wash will simply be just water. On the contrary, a professional will create a solution of detergents, soap, and water. With the right mixture, your home will be extra shiny and clean. If you’re not an expert at chemical mixing and solution diluting, leave it the pros!

Environmental Damage

If you’ve never pressure washed your home before, it may take a lot longer for you to get the hang of it and figure out what is washable and what isn’t. During this learning process, you are wasting water. Many places are very conscious about the amount of water being used per household. If you don’t want to stack up your monthly water bill, allowing a professional who knows the exact amount of water to use is a great way to keep your bill lower and our earth a little bit greener. 

Conclusion

Giving your home a nice pressure wash during the months of spring and summer is a great idea! Another great idea is being sure to hire a professional to get the job done. If you’re ready to get the outdoor parties started, contact Oceantime Pressure Washing LLC today!

Why Spring Is The Best Time For Pressure Washing

March 31, 2020 / / Comments Off on Why Spring Is The Best Time For Pressure Washing

Many people find the urge to clean and reorganize their belongings during the months of spring. Considering the positive change in weather and the longer days, utilizing the offerings of spring isn’t such a bad idea! Once all the snow has melted and the rain is slowing, pressuring washing your home during spring is the best idea!

Here is why!

When the weather is wet and harsh, it can be difficult to keep up the proper maintenance needed to ensure your home is looking great.

When the sun starts to shine and you can go a few days without worry of more snow or rain, it is time to pressure wash! The mold won’t return because the sun dries any wetness quickly. You also wont have to worry about your hard work being covered by snow again! Starting off spring with a nice pressure wash is a great way to show off how great your home really is. It is also a great way to stay healthy, as the mold and other growing bacteria will be washed away. If you’re going to spring-clean the inside of your home, make sure the outside curb appeal is equally as stunning and fresh!

Conclusion:

With spring comes longer and warmer days. If you have weathered out the harsh winter and believe your home is in need of some TLC, allow Oceantime Pressure Washing LLCbe the team to help!

10 Things You Should Never Pressure Wash

February 24, 2020 / / 0 Comments

Pressure washing is an extremely useful way to maintain your home. However, it is a tool that must be used correctly, or you’ll actually end up causing damage which will cost you money. Here are a few items that should never be pressure washed.

  • Under Your Car’s Hood

The pressure from the water could easily disconnect wires under your hood or force water into places it shouldn’t be. The force of the water may actually clean areas that you don’t want to clean; removing lubricants that are needed for the car to function properly.

  • Car Exteriors

A pressure washer is strong enough to chip paint and dull your car’s finish. Some may even be strong enough to put tiny dents in your car. In this case, using a pressure washer can be overkill for your car’s exterior. A water hose or car wash is the best choice.

  • Asphalt Roofs

Asphalt roofs cannot withstand the strong jet of a pressure washer. The granules are easily knocked off, leaving your roof compromised and susceptible to damage.

  • Electrical Meters and Panels

It’s best to be on the safe side and not blast electrical panels or other components with water, even if they are on the outside of your home. The force of rain is much less than that of a pressure washer.

  • Stained Wood

If you are preparing to re-stain wood, then a pressure washer is great. However, if you want the item to remain stained, you should avoid using a power washer or let a professional pressure washer handle the job.

  • Aluminum Siding

Aluminum is a very lightweight metal and dents extremely easily. Pressure washing aluminum siding can lead to unsightly dents in your home’s exterior. Some professionals may be able to handle an aluminum siding project, but it can be a tricky task for a DIYer to undertake.

  • Lead Paint

If your home was built before 1978, there’s a possibility its paint may contain lead which is an environmental hazard. You don’t want lead filled dust flying into the air, and you definitely don’t want it to leech into your soil where it can contaminant water sources. You’ll need to get your exterior paint tested by a professional to find out if it contains lead or not.

  • Crumbling Brick or Mortar

In most cases, brick and mortar can be pressure washed just fine. However, if it is in bad condition with sections easily crumbling and falling off, pressure washing will just weaken its structure further.

  • Shingle Siding

Shingle siding is much too delicate for pressure washing. The flow of water can rip shingles right from the surface.

  • Any Living Thing

Pressure washers can provide 30-80 times the intensity of pressure you would get from your standard garden hose.

There are many things to consider when deciding whether to pressure wash a surface such as what intensity of pressure to use and even which type of spray nozzle attachment is best. Let the professionals at Oceantime Pressure Washing LLC take care of your heavy duty cleaning jobs without causing damage. Visit us online to find out more.

Frequently Asked Power Washing Questions

January 29, 2020 / / 0 Comments

When it comes to the subject of power washing, most of us have heard of it but don’t quite know about the details behind it. Whether you need it yourself or are merely just curious about what it is, there are a lot of common questions that come up on the topic of professional power washing. In the following post, you can find the most frequently asked questions about power washing and find out the answers behind them.

What is Power Washing? :

The most frequently asked question is one that most people could probably guess, because understanding what power washing is in general is relatively important when it comes to deciding if it serves your needs. Power washing is the use of a high powered stream of hot water to remove stains or thick dirt in many outdoor settings. It successfully washes away everything from salt, mildew and mold from any surface.

When is it Smart to Use? :

There are many different instances that usually call for a power wash to ensure a difficult stain or buildup gets cleaned. Grease stains of any kind in driveways or garages are best cleaned by a solid power wash, along with mold or mildew buildup on outdoor patios and decks, which is important to guarantee health standards. In terms of public works, power washing is often used to remove chewing gum and trash stuck on public sidewalks in order to maintain public cleanliness.

How Does it Differ from Standard Washing? :

Whether it is hand washing or regular hose washing at normal pressure, there is just nothing that quite compares to power washing in terms of effectiveness and reliability. The standard pounds per square inch (PSI) of pressure generated by a standard hose is between 40-60; by comparison, a standard power washer generates between 1,300-1,700 PSI, which speaks for itself as to how much more effective a good power cleaning can truly be.

Conclusion:

Regardless of what your needs may be when it comes to cleaning anything from your patio to your deck or garage, there is nothing that quite compares to a power washer to get the job done right. Now that these basic questions are answered, the professionals over at Oceantime Pressure Washing are excited to come and provide you with the amazing results that only a great power washer can provide.

The Pressure-washables and Non-washables of Christmas

December 30, 2019 / / 0 Comments

The most wonderful time of the year can also be the most wonderful time for pressure washing. Perhaps this Yuletide, you’ve given your home a fresh makeover so that all those decorations could shine better. Before you wash them to save them for another season, though, take a look at this blogpost to be reminded about some of the caveats.

Washable: Grill

The Christmas barbecue with your family and friends can be a lovely tradition, and it’s often a delight to watch the outdoor grill be washed clean of all the black smudges. Grill grates are typically robust enough to withstand the powerful levels of psi (pounds per square inch) exerted by pressure washers. Of course, remember to unplug the grill before having it washed, since having water splashing near a running electric machine is a serious safety hazard.

Non-washable: Christmas tree

Outdoor Christmas trees can dazzle the passersby wondrously. However, the blast of a pressure washer can injure the flora, not to mention strip them of their beautiful leaves. Even if your tree is an artificial one, it’s crucial to take the time prior to the wash to find out how strong the tree is. A much better way to clean a tree is doing it with a regular hose. And of course, make sure that there are no bulbs on the tree, so that no glass cracks during the wash. (For a pre-lit tree, also remember to take the lights off first.)

Washable: Driveway

Your driveway is like a giant canvas; the sheer vastness of the area offers a good amount of negative space for the eye to wander. But if your magi and livestock arrive at the Nativity scene while the driveway is filled with unsightly leaves and mulch, all that negative space can easily become a big ole’ distraction and counteract the effects of the decorations. Tackling those nooks and crannies goes a long way!

Non-washable: Delicate decorations

The electric-lit reindeer and sleigh are evidently not good candidates for being pressure-washed. But the same goes for the less obvious examples: the inflatable Santa (which can get punctured), the papier-mâché snowflakes, the cardboard Grinch, wreaths, and ribbons. Some of the hardier pieces may be eligible, however. Those porcelain elves and garden gnomes can be pressure-washed; the massive candy canes made of plastic, the wooden shed framing the Nativity scene, and those stainless steel gift box sculptures should all be safe for pressure washing.

There are other precautions to take when putting soap and water all over the angels, Santa’s helpers, Scrooge, and Rudolph. If you’re in doubt about whether to have something pressure-washed, there’s no need to scroll down on online searches endlessly; simply consult the professionals at Oceanside Pressure Washing and Roof Cleaning LLC!
