CHemical Cleaning
The benefits
Who is this service for?
When cleaning hard surfaces we commonly use chemical cleaning either exclusively or to enhance the effect of traditional pressure cleaning. Chemical cleaning is effective at cleaning surfaces by killing any organic growth present and bringing it to the surface. The chemicals we typically use are sodium hypochlorite for organics (mold algae, moss etc), and sodium hydroxide for oil stains and tire marks. Some surfaces we typically clean with chemicals include:
​
- Sealed or painted driveways
- Concrete
- Brick
- Garden bed
- Awning & exterior walls
- Retaining walls
​
When using chemicals it is important to manage the solution mixtures and ensure that it is applied safely so other plants and surfaces aren't damaged.
Chemical Cleaning is a service that almost every home and business needs, especially when they are looking to clean without the use of pressure cleaning that can potentially damage more fragile surfaces. In the cooler seasons organics tend to grow rapidly and if not attended to, can eat away at paint, seals, gutters and other surfaces around your home.
Organics can also greatly affect the appearance of your home or business. Where plants, vines and other flora can add appeal, overgrowing moss and algae can make it look messy and do the opposite. Chemical cleaning is suitable for anyone looking to safely restore the surfaces of their home.
FUN FACT:
Chemical cleaning does not only help aesthetically, it kills the dirt and grime at the root cause, preventing organic growth in the future!

About the process
At Curb Appeal Pros we use high-level Commercial equipment to ensure the best results for your home.
​
We use calculated mixtures of chemical mixtures of sodium hypochlorite to kill organics, these mixtures range anywhere from 3-12% depending on the surface.
FUN FACT:
Sodium hyperchlorite is an alkaline substance which kill organic matter by disturbing the way in which the absorb nutrient and minerals.
​
Chemical cleaning is an excellent way to restore hard services around your
home. Over long periods of time black spotting and mold can build up, using calculated chemical mixtures we can make old surfaces look new again. The chemical sodium hypochlorite breaks down this organic matter and brings it to the surface. With some friction produced by a pressure washer or hard-bristled brush, years of dirt and grime are removed leaving the surface looking brand new.
