House Washing Wednesday

House Washing Wednesday

Cleaned by Pete presents "House Washing Wednesday" a feature showing you what a power washer does. This may not be a house but look at the difference a cleaning made on this homeowners fence. The view in the backyard sure has changed now. Wood restoration take a different method of cleaning a finer touch let's say. You have to remove the oxidized layer of wood without cutting or harming the wood fibers or the underlay wood. To much pressure will gouge our softer areas or cut the wood not enough pressure will not remove the oxidation. The algaeside  used in the cleaner helps to kill the mold, liken, and other organism growing on your fence keeping it looking good longer. Fence washing may look easy but if you want a job that looks good and last with out damage to your property you need to call Cleaned by Pete. View the photos below and judge for yourself.

Stone Cleaning: removing Missouri "red clay" staining

Missouri "Red Clay" Stains

Today found us cleaning that good old Missouri red clay off of the base of a church. The light stone was showing off a good tint of red and the longer it sits the more the red iron seeps in to the stone front. We took along our rust remover and other cleaners but using our "house wash" and hot water supplied by our Landa pressure washer. Results were very good. If we could help you with your cleaning needs call Cleaned by Pete 417-459-7869 for a free estimate.

Concrete cleaning by Cleaned by Pete



Going to try something a bit different today a video on concrete cleaning. Done for a customer on a driveway, sidewalk, and front stoop of a lake home for sale. The lake area always has more moister in the air and promotes the growth of mold and mildew. Think of the difference your home or sale house would look like with a clean driveway, sidewalk and front stoop. More curb appeal never hurt anyone but leaves a lasting impression, Call us for a quote 417-459-7869
