When we handle exterior mold & mildew removal for concrete in Cutler, FL, it comes down to three things: protecting your plants and property, cleaning with the right method, and walking the job with you at the end. For concrete, that means pressure wash with a surface cleaner.
How we clean it
Cleaning solution: A degreaser for oil spots and a pre-treatment for organic growth; post-treatment slows regrowth.
What to know about cleaning concrete
Plain broom-finish concrete is the surface pressure washing is made for. A rotary surface cleaner gives an even finish without the stripes a wand leaves, and hot water helps with grease and oil.
Avoid: Holding a narrow tip close to the surface, which etches lines into the cream layer of the concrete.
How often: Every year, or every 6 months in shaded, damp spots.

Serving Cutler, FL and nearby towns
Mildew and algae are the main reason Florida homeowners wash their siding. Shaded walls can turn green within months, and pressure alone doesn't kill the growth, so we use a soft wash solution that does.
Parts of Florida are exposed to hurricanes and tropical storms. After a storm, washing removes mud, debris and salt spray from siding, screens and walkways. Check for damage first: loose siding, broken screens and roof damage need repair before anyone washes them.
Near the coast, salt air leaves a film on siding, windows, screens and railings that dulls finishes and speeds up corrosion on metal. Regular rinsing and washing help protect them.
Spring pollen season in Florida coats houses, cars, screens and patios in a yellow-green film, and pollen gives mildew something to feed on. Many homeowners book their wash after pollen season ends so the house stays clean longer.
Much of Florida has hard water. Sprinklers and misters leave white mineral spots on walls, windows, fences and pool tile, and those spots need a mineral-safe cleaner, not more pressure.

Do you use high pressure for exterior mold & mildew removal for concrete?
For concrete: usually 2,500-3,500 PSI with a rotary surface cleaner for even results. What we avoid: holding a narrow tip close to the surface, which etches lines into the cream layer of the concrete. We keep the pressure even and controlled, with the right tools for the surface.
Is exterior mold & mildew removal for concrete safe for my plants and pets?
We pre-wet plants and lawns, keep cleaning solutions diluted to what the surface needs, and rinse landscaping again when we finish. Keep pets and children inside until surfaces are rinsed and dry.
How often should I schedule exterior mold & mildew removal for concrete?
Every year, or every 6 months in shaded, damp spots. Shade, nearby trees, humidity and heavy traffic mean more frequent cleaning; sunny, dry spots can go longer. Our free cleaning frequency tool gives a recommendation for your climate.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain doesn't stop most washing, but heavy rain, high wind, lightning and freezing temperatures do. If the weather isn't right, we reschedule at no charge. Our work is backed by a satisfaction guarantee.
