Xtreme Cleanz pressure washing removes dirt, mold, insects and other debris from the exterior of your home and/or structure. Parts of your home that are made from very soft materials such as wood/stucco will not be hurt with our power washing. We recommend you pressure wash annually or every other year for best results. Certain housing materials can withstand all types of water pressures. The sprayer ranges from 1,200 to 3,000 pounds per square inch (psi). Make sure you get a professional like Xtreme Cleanz so your home is not damaged and stays looking new.
Cleaning your driveway, along with your house, is a great way to increase your homes investment and keep it looking and feeling new. People do not realize how dirty the driveway, sidewalk, and patio can get until cleaned. We can also remove rust stains from the concrete.
Sometimes less is more with pressure washing. Some jobs might need between 1500-1800 pounds per square inch. This can remove spider webs, dust, and grime from area. It can also eliminate fungus. Most over the counter chemicals are not strong enough to get the job done. Let us use commercial grade safe chemicals to remove dirt, grime, fungus and mold from your home.
Removing loose paint may require a bit more force on the walls of your Birmingham home. Up to 2500 pounds per square inch could be necessary. A washer’s highest setting 3200 psi is usually overkill. Hitting a surface with that much force can harm it and cost money. It’s important to us a professional to not damage your home.
Make sure you clean brick yearly. It can collect dirt, mold, and mildew and must be cleaned properly. With all types of different brick some can’t withstand pressure like others can. We can adjust the pressure to meet these needs.

Well everything….. pressure washing was once the end all be all to the cleaning business. It involves a gas powered machine with a pump which determines the pressure. While this method can be used for house, deck, siding, and much more cleaning today is mostly used on flat surfaces (concrete). Soft wash on the other hand can be run off a gas or battery machine and has a lower psi pump. This method while a bit more costly is much safer with the many different building materials used today. Why is it more costly you ask??? Well, there’s chemical used in the soft wash method and while it’s safer for the many surfaces it can be very dangerous for the vegetation around the house. This can be avoided by pre soaking the areas being cleaned with water and doing the same after the cleaning is completed.
While many people in Birmingham are just pressure washing everything and some using both methods it’s really what ever the cleaner prefers. I believe as long as the cleaner is educated on the method they prefer everything should be good for the Birmingham resident. It’s always a good idea for the customer to research what they are looking for so they are educated on the type of cleaning needed to be done.
So, is it pressure washing or soft wash….. that’s up to YOU.

There are great reasons to pressure wash this coming spring.
1. Moisture can wreak havoc on your exterior home. Snow, ice, frost, rain, and high humidity can all negatively affect the exterior. Moisture in all forms can cause growth of mildew. This becomes very unsightly and reduces your curb appeal. Winter mildew can cause damage and stains to your home. Letting mildew and stains sit on your home or business for long can result in permanent damage. Pressure washing can remove this mess easily with no impact on the environment. Dramatic fluctuations in temperature can cause wood surfaces (decks/fences) to contract and expand. The movement can cause cracking. We can pressure wash the area and provide a new deck stain seal to last for years.
2. Increase your homes curb appeal with pressure washing and deck staining. If you are sprucing up your home to increase curb appeal for buyers, the most effective step you can take is to pressure wash your home. Pressure washing the outside of your home keeps it looking the very best. People looking to buy a new home often decide whether or not they want to look inside based off the outside look. You can assume if the house is dirty, mildew, and missing stain; buyers will drive by. There are many things you can do to improve your home’s curb appeal but none is typically effective as pressure washing.
3. By pressure washing every year you increase your homes value. Good investments are those which you invest less to get more. Pressure washing your home is one of those kinds of investments. The increase in your home’s value is much greater the cost of pressure washing.
4. Pressure washing with us will save you time. Regular methods take a long time and lots of elbow grease. You have to mix chemicals, climb ladders, tough labor and spend an entire day doing it. Also, hand washing does not have the same power. Let us pressure wash for you in a timely manner, less cost and no labor.

So you wanna do a little DIY pressure washing around the house. Here’s some tips from a local pro in Birmingham.
First you need to figure out what all needs cleaned. The area, height, size, and severity of the job.
Once these are figured out you will need to find the proper equipment needed to handle this job. Lets start with the pressure washer. While there are many different sizes you’re going to need a fairly good amount of pressure to do concrete. To get the needed pressure you will need a gas or diesel powered machine. These machines start around 2000 psi and go up as high as 8000. Now for a DIY you should be good with around 3-4000 psi machine. There are a couple different options on obtaining a pressure washer and these are 1) purchase a machine – usually cost around 700-2000 dollars. You might be able to find one on facebook or craigslist cheaper. Or 2) rent from a local hardware box store usually 50-100 per day. Keep in mind you will need hose, wands, and possibly a surface cleaner. These all add to the cost of the job.
Now that you have your pressure washer lets go over the tips sizes. Usually you will receive 5 tips for the pressure washer wand. I will talk briefly about the uses and when you should need the different tips. First is the red tip – this has a narrow angle and is considered a zero degree tip. It is used to reach high areas. Second is the yellow tip – this is the most popular and is considered a 15 degree tip. It is used on concrete and pushing dirty water. The third is the green tip – it’s a 25 degree angle and is the multi tip. Its used for cleaning furniture, removing mildew, and pushing dirty water. The fourth is the white tip- It’s a 40 degree angle which is used on wood, windows, screens, and lite dirt removal. The fifth is the black tip – It’s a 65 degree angle that is used to disperse chemicals out of the wand using the venturi effect or suction. All have a purpose and need to be understood before using.
Next on the list is the other items you might need while pressure washing in the Birmingham area. You always need a good set of eye protection, hearing protection, and I always wear a hat to keep the dirt out of my hair. Are you going to be doing a two story house? Might need a ladder. Depending on the height you always need to have a ladder that is 2-4ft taller than the area you need to reach. Why you ask, well stability is important but you also don’t want to be stretched out trying to reach a certain spot. Rope is a good tool to have if you’re going to be in a precarious position. Always tie off to something other than the ladder, maybe a nearby tree or even the house. While it might not be feasible having another person on the job site it is really a safety necessity. Sometimes safety over profit is what you need.
So, we’ve got the equipment covered now it’s time to plan the job. Where is the water spigot, does the job drain and if so what direction, will there be any issues i.e. plants, cars, or old damage that needs to be moved or talked about? Once you have a game plan you will be ready to start the project.
Also, if you decide the jobs to big or to costly you can always get an estimate from a professional in the Birmingham AL area. Sometimes it’s cheaper to hire someone rather than renting or buying equipment. You also need to figure out if its worth your time. Some people would rather spend a couple hundred dollars paying someone to do the work than taking a few days of their time trying to complete a job that could be done in a few hours by a pro. The choice is yours but always run the numbers and get estimates to determine what you want to do.
