Hire Our Power Washers, Don’t Rent Equipment

There are plenty of do-it-yourselfers out there in the world, and power to them! It’s great to take on your own project and see it through to the end. However, we’re here today to advocate that pressure cleaning should be left to the pros. Renting a pressure cleaner and getting to work may seem like a simple enough task, but there are a few considerations you should take into account before making the leap: Rental Cost vs. Service Cost Renting a pressure washer for the day is rather comparable to our pressure washing service fees.

Prepping Your Patio or Fence for a Stain

When it comes to wood fencing and patios, nothing looks better than a fresh coat of stain. If your patio or fencing structure is looking worn and weathered, it’s likely time to pull out the stain bucket. But before you let your brush hit the bucket, you’ll want to get your surfaces pressure washed. Pressure washing your wooden surface prepares the pores of the wood and cleans the surface of any debris that’s caked on over the years. Opening Up Wood Pores Wood is porous; it absorbs liquids. That’s why some staining jobs take a few coats to get the look you’re seeking. Since wood is porous, any liquid that’s coated on the surface will make it’s way deeper into the core of the wood, and there it will dry and stay. With a power washing job, your wood’s pores open up a bit, allowing for more stain once the wood has dried. With more stain, your stain job will penetrate further into the surface of the wood, leaving you with more thoroughly stained wood that lasts longer. Ridding Your Wood of Debris You simply do not want to

Taking Out Grapevine Grime

While grapevines are well suited for planting near the wall of your home and their vines are appealing throughout the seasons, they can leave residue along your wall as the years pass. Now, during the summer years, your grape foliage will likely cover unsightly stains and grime, but as fall rolls around, you’re sure to see grime buildup and residue that’s been left by your vines. Now’s the time to get clean with pressure washing services from Big Clean, your Charlotte-area power washing company.

And they’re making their way into the roof gutter - and that can mean a major clog. It’s time to tame your vines. You pull out your pruning shears and your loppers.

Pressure Washing for Party Time

Summertime means party time. As summer comes into full swing, now’s the time to get outdoors and get partying. It’s an exciting time, and as the world’s best host, you couldn’t be more prepared. So, you’ve opened up your pool, you’ve cleaned out the filter, and you’ve perfectly balanced the pH levels. You’ve uncovered your grill, and you’ve cleaned the grate. Then you purchased four bags of charcoal, and 18 bottles of lighter fluid. You stocked your freezer with 20 pounds of hot dogs, five full chickens, and half of a cow. You even purchased a four-pack of veggie burgers for your cousin Rachel. On top of that, you built 45 kabobs. You purchased 800 dollars worth of completely legal fireworks. You combed your shedding dog so that the Clarkson boys don’t sneeze from their allergies. You trimmed the claws on your cat so that it doesn’t maim the Clarkson boys (everyone knows that Priscilla is prone to freaking out at the sound of a sneeze). You built your own kegerator out of the kitchen fridge (which the wife wasn’t terribly enthused about, but she doesn’t mind an

Keep Your Pool Area Safe

Sure, they can seep into the pool water and turn your emerald-colored oasis into a green stew, and that’s bad enough. And sure, they can clog a pool filter in a jiff. But what’s worse is that a bit of mold and grime can become as slippery as a grease spill. And with tots and tykes running full sprint around your pool, the tiniest bit of mold becomes a major liability. Oh, and beyond that, mildew around your pool just doesn’t look good. Pressure Washing Your Pool-Area Concrete for Safety It’s a joyous Saturday. The sun is shining. The birds are chirping. Bees are buzzing near the crabapple tree. A soft wind rolls in from the northwest at four miles per hour - or perhaps it’s four-and-a-half miles per hour. There isn’t a cloud in this galaxy (or even the Andromeda galaxy for that matter). There’s charcoal smoldering on the grill. Ribs have been marinating in the kitchen refrigerator for 72 hours. Children frolic through the green grass as you check the pH balance in your pool. It’s perfect. You shout to the jubilant youth that surrounds you and
