Idaho combines strong high-altitude sun with cold winters and quick weather changes. UV fades and dries out wood decks and fences, winter snow and road salt are hard on concrete, and shaded north sides can grow moss and lichen. The washing season runs from spring to fall, and sealing needs warm, dry days.

Services
Pressure Washing Services in Rathdrum, ID
House and roof soft washing, driveways, decks, fences, sealing and commercial cleaning. Here are some of the services we provide in Rathdrum.
Soft Washing for Metal Roofs
Soft wash. Painted metal roofs collect dirt, mildew and oxidation chalk.
Efflorescence Removal
Removing white, chalky salt deposits from brick, pavers, concrete and stone.
Soft Washing for Asphalt Shingle Roofs
Soft wash (no pressure). The black streaks on many asphalt roofs are a type of algae, often Gloeocapsa magma, that feeds on the limestone filler in shingles.
Sidewalk & Walkway Cleaning for Flagstone
Low-to-moderate pressure wash. Flagstone covers several stones, including sandstone, slate, bluestone and limestone, and they react differently to pressure and chemicals.
Rust Stain Removal for Pavers
Pressure wash with a surface cleaner. Cleaning concrete and brick pavers removes weeds, moss and stains, but some joint sand washes out with them.
Pressure Washing for Flagstone
Low-to-moderate pressure wash. Flagstone covers several stones, including sandstone, slate, bluestone and limestone, and they react differently to pressure and chemicals.
Graffiti Removal for Stucco
Soft wash. Traditional stucco is porous and holds moisture, which is why it streaks green and black in humid and shaded spots.
Graffiti Removal for Stone & Stone Veneer
Low-pressure wash. Natural stone and manufactured stone veneer vary a lot.
Pool Deck Cleaning for Stamped Concrete
Moderate-pressure wash. Stamped and colored concrete is usually protected by a sealer.
Soft Washing for Stone & Stone Veneer
Low-pressure wash. Natural stone and manufactured stone veneer vary a lot.
Gutter Brightening
Cleaning the outside face of gutters to remove the black 'tiger stripes' that ordinary washing leaves behind.
House Washing for Fiber Cement Siding
Soft wash. Fiber cement siding is durable and holds paint well, but its factory finish can be marked by high pressure, and manufacturers' care guides generally recommend low-pressure cleaning.

What is the difference between soft washing and pressure washing?
Pressure washing uses high-pressure water to clean hard surfaces such as concrete and brick pavers. Soft washing uses low pressure and a cleaning solution that kills mold, mildew and algae, and it's the safe way to clean siding, stucco, roofs and other delicate surfaces. We choose the method for each surface on your property.
Is pressure washing safe for my roof?
Roofs should not be pressure washed. High pressure strips the protective granules from asphalt shingles and can crack tile. Roofs are cleaned with a soft wash: a solution applied at low pressure that kills the algae and moss causing the stains, then rinsed gently.
Will the cleaning solution hurt my plants, lawn or pets?
We pre-wet plants and lawns, rinse them again afterward and keep the solution diluted to what each surface needs, which protects landscaping. Keep pets and children inside during the wash and until surfaces are rinsed and dry.
How often should I have my house washed in Rathdrum?
Most homes need a house wash every one to two years. Homes with a lot of shade, nearby trees or high humidity often need it every year, and homes in dry, sunny areas can go longer. Roofs typically need cleaning every three to five years, and driveways once a year.
Do I need to be home during the cleaning?
Not usually. We need access to an outdoor water spigot and to every side of the house, windows and doors closed, and cars moved out of the driveway. We'll confirm the details when we book, and we walk the job with you or send photos when we finish.
Can you remove oil, rust and other tough stains?
Often, yes. Oil, rust, efflorescence and hard-water spots each need a specific cleaner, not just more pressure. Fresh stains usually come out completely; old oil stains that have soaked deep into concrete can lighten a lot but may not disappear. We'll tell you what to expect before we start.
What happens if it rains on the day of my appointment?
Light rain doesn't stop most washing, but heavy rain, high wind, lightning and freezing temperatures do, and sealing and staining need dry weather. If the weather isn't right, we'll call to reschedule at no charge.
Do you clean commercial properties in Rathdrum?
Yes. We clean storefronts, sidewalks, parking areas, dumpster pads, restaurants and drive-thrus, fleets, and HOA and apartment buildings, and we can work early mornings, evenings or weekends to stay out of your customers' way.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes, we carry insurance, and where Idaho or your city requires a license for exterior cleaning work, the job is done under that license. You're welcome to ask for proof of insurance when you book. Our work is backed by a satisfaction guarantee.
