From green to clean with Pristine Clean

If you leave your car in the driveway for a few weeks, undriven, you will probably have a dead battery when you try to start it. But there will also be another problem: Your car will be covered in a thick layer of dirt, grime, pollen, mildew and algae, especially if you parked in the partial shade. Not only is this unsightly, it’s not good for your car’s finish. A proper car wash and sealant is in order.

Well, your house, too, is sitting undriven (unless you live in a motorhome), and the same elements that are destroying your car’s finish are also attacking your home’s siding, roof and concrete. And just like your vehicle, it needs a good cleaning and—for protection—a proper sealing.

“Many people think if you power wash a house, that’s it,” explains Ken Wilson, founder of Pristine Clean, Northeast Ohio’s largest and highest-rated locally owned power washing company. “But that’s only part of the job. There are two other critical steps, also.”

The Three Steps

Pristine’s highly trained technicians begin with the application of an effective mildewcide. “We use a procedure known as a ‘soft wash,’”Ken explains. “That means our equipment relies on greater water volume rather than dangerous high pressure to get the job done. So rather than blasting away and risking damage to your property, we begin with a safe and effective mildewcide that softens the mold, mildew, algae and grime before we turn on the machines. The result is a clean home without the dangers of pressure that is too high.”

Next comes the actual power washing. “We use modern, leading-edge equipment to get the job done right,” Ken says. “Each year during the offseason we purchase additional new equipment and trucks and ensure our technicians are well trained on the newest technology. So we’re not wrestling with clumsy, outdated power washers. This makes each project better, safer and more efficient.”

Third is the application of a sealant. “Most homeowners understand the rationale behind sealing concrete after a good washing to prevent water penetrating, freezing and cracking concrete,” Ken adds, “but sealing your siding is important, too. We apply a surface protectant that acts as a barrier on your home to help it look and stay cleaner longer. It also protects your siding from UV radiation that can cause fading.”

The company also cleans and seals roofs and concrete surfaces.

Company Culture

Pristine’s techs undergo both classroom and in-the-field training, including a comprehensive apprenticeship program. “In untrained hands, a power washer can be cause damage to people, property and landscaping,” Ken says. “So proper training is a big part of our company culture.”

Fair pricing is also a part of the culture. Unlike less reputable companies, Pristine doesn’t jack up the price in order to discount it. “We’ve always offered a flat-rate, up-front quote based on the square footage of the job, so you pay what your neighbors pay,” Ken assures.

So it’s no surprise the company has more than 1,100 Google reviews with a virtually perfect 4.9-star rating.
