How we restored a beautiful home on Woodstork Drive using zero-pressure soft washing.
We recently received a high-priority request from a homeowner on Woodstork Drive in Mount Sinai, NY (11766). Their beautiful home had accumulated layers of green algae and environmental grime on the vinyl siding, which is a common issue for properties near the North Shore due to the coastal humidity.
Many homeowners in Mount Sinai mistakenly believe that blasting their siding with a high-PSI pressure washer is the best way to clean it. However, high pressure can easily force water behind the vinyl panels, leading to trapped moisture and serious structural issues down the line. Furthermore, high pressure only removes the surface layer of algae; it doesn't kill the spores.
At Best Power Wash LI, we utilized our specialized Soft Washing technique for this Mount Sinai property. We applied a thick, biodegradable algaecide foam that clung to the vinyl siding. This allowed the cleaning agents to dwell on the surface and effectively kill the root spores of the algae.
After a short dwell time, we rinsed the entire house using pressure comparable to a gentle rain shower. The transformation was dramatic. The home's curb appeal was instantly restored, and the vinyl siding was thoroughly sanitized without any risk of damage.
