Many local Home Owners Associations know and depend on Carolina Power Wash, not only for our outstanding cleaning services and reliability but for our safe and effective soft washing techniques which can make the entire neighborhood look good. They will send out notices to homeowners in the association regarding the need to have their sidewalks cleaned, or even better, the HOA can hire Carolina Power Wash to come out and clean the sidewalks around the townhouses and single-family homes in the entire community.
Sidewalks are Important to Wash too
Why go to all the trouble to have your home siding, roof, or fencing cleaned but leave your sidewalks marred with seasonal residue, stains, and dirt? In addition, algae growing on sidewalks and brick is a slip hazard which is a liability for the HOA. Your sidewalks are not only one of the first things people notice when walking to or past your home, but they connect with other homes in the neighborhood. HOAs rightly take issue with sidewalks that contribute to an uneven or inconsistent appearance throughout the neighborhood. Unsightly sidewalks can affect the way homes look in general, reducing curb appeal. Being sure of your home’s value and appearance can pay off in the long run, too. Additionally, many HOAs will charge fines to homes that do not comply with a sidewalk cleaning requirement.
The Best Technique for Power Washing your Sidewalks
You might be surprised to hear that blasting high-pressured water from a wand isn’t the best approach to clean walkways. There’s more to “power washing” than extreme high pressure. Stained concrete responds well to various types of tools, and pressure no stronger than a garden hose is all that’s necessary. The key is combining the proper equipment, tools, and training to achieve the best cleaning results. Our professional technicians at Carolina Power Wash use a variety of equipment, including rotating brushes and special cleaning agents, depending on the type of surface being cleaned, and the nature of the stains. Some sidewalks become wet during certain seasons and can grow mold or algae, which requires a completely different type of cleaner than a chemical spill.
Safety and Care in Cleaning Your HOA Sidewalks
Depending on the environment around the sidewalk, certain precautions might need to be considered. For mulch or delicate plantings, it’s very important to use a system that doesn’t injure or clear out the landscaping nearby. Not all cleaners are appropriate near a grass edging, either. Our trained professionals know what to choose.
