KC Power Clean

Today we were in Irvine, CA to remove some graffiti for an Association on a common wall.  The markings, although very beautiful, just didn't belong on the wall.  Most all masonry surfaces can be cleaned with the use of a hot-water power washer and a quality graffiti cleaning product.  Other surfaces can often be cleaned, but more caution and experience is necessary as damage can be done to the underlying surface (aka substrate).  The picture below is of a masonry surface before the cleaning is performed. 

Without a hot-water pressure washing machine which is capable of creating water at temperatures over 190 degrees and a quality graffiti cleaning product, a silhouette or shadow of the previous markings may be left on the surface.  Now you can ask with confidence when ordering from a local power wash contractor.

Over the last 3 days, we have had both trucks and trailers working full-time in Irvine, CA. We have just finished a 3 day project in which we washed 38 3-story fourplex buildings in the beautiful community called the Auburn Community. This is located in the greater Northpark community in Irvine.  The Home Owner's Association seems very pleased with the work that was performed, and it was nice to have homeowner's come out after the wash and thank us for cleaning up their house thoroughly.  Feeling appreciated by a kind word from a homeowner is one life's simple pleasures!

This was one of our larger projects, but we finished a day ahead of schedule. Additionally, we washed all the courtyards at this community.

Today we power washed all of the curbs, sidewalks, and drive area at the Westin Hotel in Costa Mesa, CA.
When ordering a power washing service, it is important that you hire a company who not only cleans the sidewalks, but also the adjoining concrete curbs.  By washing this little extra area, we can really make the area feel much cleaner. 

Many people don't realize how dirty curbs can get, so they collect a lot of rubber from crazy drivers who can't keep their tires off them.

This week we were called in to "rescue" a new driveway.  The contractor had just installed a new paver driveway for a customer and for the first time had switched to a new polymeric sand for the joint filler.  He wasn't sure if he applied it incorrectly or if it was just a bad batch of sand, but the pavers had a thick white residue on the surface that would not wash off.  That's when he made the call...

After firing up the hot-water power washer, we gave him a demonstration of what our powerful machines could do.  The residue was no match for our machines, even after the sand had a chance to set for approximately 48 hours.
I called out our second hot-water power wash rig, and we got to work with a very aggressive wash that lasted the majority of the day.

After a good day of washing, the pavers were ready to dry out and wait for their sealer.
