If You Have Plants Around Your Home, Water Them First

You’re probably wondering, what does my landscaping have to do with removing algae from my siding? Well, the chemicals you’ll be applying to the exterior of your home are eventually going to be washed from the siding and flow into the area surrounding the perimeter of your home. Watering your plants first allows for most of the moisture in the soil to be freshwater instead of strong chemicals that could damage your plants. The layer of water acts as protection for your plants and soil to make sure your surrounding landscape is safe. If you’re worried about the safety of your plants, contact Royal Blue Power Washing, Inc. in Kansas City, MO for exterior power washing services.

Apply the Cleaning Solution By Hand

Using a soft-bristled brush, gently scrub the algae-covered siding by hand to make sure the cleaning solution can get deep into the grains of your vinyl siding. Our power washing experts use professional tools and name-brand cleaning solutions for your algae removal service to ensure your home’s exterior surface is looking new at the end of our visit. After scrubbing the most affected areas, the cleaner will begin to strip the dirt and algae from the vinyl surface, making it easy to power wash any stain or grime left over. Royal Blue Power Washing, Inc. offers reliable algae cleaning services for your home in the Kansas City, MO area.

The next step is, you guessed it, power washing the chemicals off of the siding! At Royal Blue Power Washing, Inc., we have commercial power washing equipment that is designed to remove not just chemical solutions, but every stain and spec of dirt on the vinyl siding of your home. Our pressure washing equipment connects to a soap nozzle that ejects the cleaning solution along with water to make sure no harmful solutions are left on your outdoor surfaces. After that, water alone is applied to the surface to remove any stuck debris and algae that threaten the image of your property. To schedule a power washing and algae removal service, give us a call!

Rinse With a Hose

Finally, after you’ve scrubbed, applied the chemicals, and power washed the vinyl surface, the last step is to rise your home with a hose. This removes any left-over dirt particles that were moved around by the high-pressured power washing device, but not removed entirely. This last rinse is the perfect way to ensure there isn’t a spot or stain left on your vinyl siding. Our Royal Blue Power Washing, Inc. technicians in Kansas City, MO are here to help restore the look and feel of your home with our quick and efficient power washing and algae removal services. Give us a call today at (816) 298-4649 to schedule a power washing service for your home.
