Exterior cleaning in Portland
The beautiful City of Roses is home to natural beauty in places such as the Portland Japanese Garden, the Oregon Zoo and Washington Park. Cultural centers and artistic centers such as Pittock Mansion also abound in Portland. West Hills and Downtown have science and art centers while the region is home to many fine educational establishments.
The exterior of a building must be cleaned in order to make a good first impression to visitors, guests, customers, and clients. Cleaning the exterior of buildings may be required to enhance the curb appeal of the building before it is put up for resale. Storefronts also need to be cleaned on a regular basis to make sure the store makes a good first impression to possible customers.
Exterior cleaning to remove graffiti
Buildings may need one-time exterior cleaning to remove graffiti. Older buildings will be cleaned with microfiber and gentle cleaning solutions to preserve the cladding material in its original condition. Stronger cladding materials may be cleaned by power washing. If required, stronger and more abrasive cleaning techniques will be used. These include dry ice blasting, soda blasting, and sand blasting. These will strip clean the graffiti, and repainting may be required to restore the original condition of the building.
Mold remediation of exteriors
Extensive moisture damage or repeated exposure to rain, sleet, snow, and storms may encourage the growth of algae, molds, and mildews on the exteriors and roofs of the building. This problem of molds and algae is exuberated if the drains and gutters are blocked by debris and other rubbish. This is because blocked drains can lead to moisture seeping into the walls, roof, and foundations of a building. Moisture and humidity are prime conditions for the growth and spread of mildews, molds, and algae. These algae are removed with mold remediation techniques. A common mold remediation technique is with the help of a biocide liquid spray. The biocide is sprayed on the affected area and allowed to work to kill the mold. The remaining molds are encapsulated so that they do not spread.
Removing stains caused by carbon emissions
Carbon emissions are released by industrial concerns as well as vehicles such as vans, cars, and trucks. These carbon emissions can stain a building and add a layer of grime to its surface cladding. This stain may be cleaned with the help of chemical cleaning solutions containing de-greasing agents such as butyl. Flagged fiber or microfiber cleaning equipment is used if the surface cladding is delicate to carefully remove the stains. If the surface cladding can withstand the pressure, a power wash may be used to clean the exterior. More resistant stains may be strip cleaned with more abrasive methods such as dry ice blasting or soda blasting, which can be adjusted according to the stain and surface material.
Cleaning windows
Windows of buildings that need cleaning may be cleaned with the water fed pole method, which uses purified de-ionized water. When window panes are cleaned with this method, less harmful or toxic detergents are used, and the windows are cleaned without any streaks when dried. Window frames and skylights may also be cleaned by this method. Window sills and cleaning the window opening and closing mechanisms may be a part of extra services offered by a professional cleaning service.
Cleaning driveways, parking lots and grounds
Sustained effort and city planning has gone into maintaining a beautiful ambiance and small-time vibe to the City of Roses. As well as a commitment to go green in all aspects of life and reduce the carbon footprint of the inhabitants it also includes making sure the grounds and exteriors of the building under your care are in immaculate condition. Driveways and parking lots may be routinely cleaned with pressurized power washers to keep them clean and neat. Grounds should be swept clean, and any leaves and fallen branches should be disposed of properly. Exterior cleaning of larger grounds may require hiring a dumpster to contain all the debris which can accumulate. The leaves and branches exfoliating during Fall will call for large scale ground cleaning, which will produce an extensive collection of leaves for compost. Other debris needs to be disposed of for recycling or disposal as needed.
