Scrub Away To Keep Mold At Bay

If you live in the Boynton Beach area, you know all too well what humid air and warm temperatures do to white fences, white patio furniture, and white siding. If you don't pay close attention and pressure wash these marquee features of your property, over time, they will develop unsightly black streaks that will be tough, if not impossible, to fully remove and likely leave a stain of some kind.

Pressure washing, whether of the traditional nature or more of the soft washing type, is one of the most effective approaches to ensuring white vinyl doesn't fall prey to the South Florida elements. The combination of proper detergents and adjustments to water temperature and pressure will ensure contaminants are washed away.

About That White Patio Furniture

Vinyl and plastic chairs and tables, as well as most outdoor furniture, will gather a fair amount of dust and dirt over time. And when it comes time to entertain guests or just because it's been a while, a proper pressure washing treatment may be what's needed to restore that pristine look these items once had.

Pressure washing these pieces isn't difficult. It just requires a little bit of time and creativity and following these simple steps (or a similar approach):

• Consider starting with soft washing to remove that first layer of dirt.
• Wipe them down with a damp rag or a handi-wipe. A Magic Eraser is especially effective, too.
• Rinse every inch of the furniture, especially those tricky spots under the table and between the slots on the chairs.

Fences And Siding Are Key Property Features, Keep Them Clean

Black streaks spell doom for white vinyl siding and fencing, as well as your deck and patio. They require just the right touch to keep mold and mildew from leaving their mark. Oxidation also can be an issue; the sun will cause a chemical reaction over time, thus weakening the material. So oxidation removal also becomes a serious consideration, not just for your outdoor furniture but for any exterior vinyl surfaces.

Perhaps the trickiest spots are the natural spaces between fence and siding panels. Water containing contaminants runs down the surface and settles into the bottom frame, and that's where the problems usually start.

The same holds true for deck cleaning and patio cleaning. Since composite, often recycled materials are a popular option, they require care similar to vinyl, plastic, and similar materials.

When In Doubt, Let The Pros Handle It

Mold removal is essential, especially in South Florida, where year-round warm, humid air provides ideal conditions for this potentially dangerous allergen to grow. It's important to know how to remove mold in order to avoid unnecessary consequences.

That's why a phone call to a professional pressure washing company like Premier Pro Washing is essential. This is their business -- they are the experts with the know-how, the proper equipment, and the experience to wash away the worries mold often causes.
