Solar Panel Cleaning
Why should I get my solar panels professionally cleaned?
Having your panels cleaned increases energy production, prolongs their lifespan by removing buildup that can block the sun. Also, something that a lot of people aren't aware of, not cleaning your solar panels regularly can potentially void your warranty.
How long does it take to clean solar panels?
There are several factors to consider, such as the amount of debris buildup, as well as the quantity and size of your panels. Generally, it takes one to three hours.
How often do you recommend solar panels to be cleaned?
Usually, every six months is recommended to keep your panels functioning optimally. A discount is given to returning customers.
Why should I have you clean my solar panels? Can't I do it myself?
Yes, you can clean them yourself. But you need to be aware of some things before you do.
​
One, it's recommended to use a brush that has soft bristles since stiff bristle brushes and heavily abrasive tools can scratch the glass and protective coating on the panels which will hurt their function.
​
Two, many chemicals and detergents can cause damage and possibly void your warranty.
​
Three, solar panel cleaning should include filtered water. Hard water can cause buildup to occur and lower the production of the panels.
​
Four, don't pressure wash the panels. High pressure can cause damage.
Five, there is a real potential for electrical shock. You need to be sure that the wiring and panels are in good enough condition to be cleaned.

Window Cleaning
Why should I get my windows professionally cleaned?
Clean windows can contribute a lot to the appearance of your home or business. Even more important is the fact that dirty windows can cause the life of your windows to be shortened as dirt and debris can build up.
How long does it take to clean windows?
Anywhere from two to three hours or more depending on the condition, size, and number of windows you have.
Should I do anything before you come?
If you are getting the interior of your windows cleaned, having the areas under the windows clear will help. Also, if you have any pets that are not friendly to visitors, removing them from the rooms being serviced would be appreciated. For exterior service, it's helpful to have the areas around the windows clear (plants and small objects are ok).
How often do you recommend for windows to be cleaned?
It depends. Mostly for residential, two or three times a year is enough. For businesses and restaurants, more often may be needed. Areas where there's a lot of people, debris, pollen, dirt, etc. it may be necessary to have windows cleaned one or more times a month. For customers requiring routine cleaning, a discount will be given.
Soft Washing
What is soft washing?
Soft washing is a form of house (or building) cleaning that involves a low pressure, which removes mold, algae, dirt, and other organic, as well as non-organic, matter. Unlike pressure washing, which uses high pressure to clean, soft washing won't damage your structure.
What cleaners do you use?
We use a non-toxic product that contains 7.5% Hydrogen Peroxide. Unlike Sodium Hypochlorite (bleach), as is standard in the industry, this product will not harm plants. It is safe for people and pets.
Our cleaner is a participant in the U.S EPA Safer Choice program and classified as a direct release product. For more information, click here.
Will my plants be hurt during the process?
No. We are very concerned about your plant's safety. That's why we chose to not use bleach. Instead, the hydrogen peroxide based cleaner we use will mitigate any potential harm to plant life.
Should I do anything before you come?
It's recommended that you move your vehicle and any other obstacles (furniture, trash cans, decorations, pets, etc.) away from the area being cleaned, or inside your garage if you have one.
How often should I have this cleaning done?
Once a year is recommended.
Roof Washing
Why should I have my roof cleaned?
Overtime harsh weather conditions and many elements can threaten your roof's structural integrity. Moss if left on your shingles too long can cause moisture damage. Dirt and other debris can cause shingles to separate, leading to vulnerable areas exposed on the building.
The value of your home can increase if your roof is clean. Many HOAs require residents to keep their roofs cleaned.
Insurance companies determine rates based on property maintenance. If your roof is dirty, this can cause you to spend more in insurance than the cost of periodic roof cleanings.
