Pressure washing your brick house in five easy
steps

• Step 1. Patch the Mortar
• Before you start to pressure wash your property,
  you need to make sure that you patch up any
  damaged joints in between the bricks. Doing so,
  you will prevent the water to seep behind the
  bricks.
• Step 2. Dampen the Bricks
• After you have allowed the mortar to dry out and
  have given it plenty of time to set, its time to
  soak the entire brick surface of your property.
  This is an important step that you cannot miss at
  any cost. Its essential that the bricks are wet
  and damp before you start applying the detergent.

• Step 3.Apply Your Detergent
• You should make sure that the detergent you have
  chosen is intended for cleaning property made
  from bricks. Apply your detergent in the same
  motion you soaked your house, starting from the
  bottom up and making your way to the top. Let it
  sit for 10 minutes.
• Step 4.Rinse Away
• Now that the detergent has had plenty of time to
  sit and work its magic, its the moment youve
  been waiting for. Now is the time to use your
  pressure washer and wash away all the grime, dust
  and moss.

  new is to apply a coat of brick sealant. You will

Graffiti Removal A Necessity

• Depending upon the surface the graffiti is made,
  your cleaning methods will be based. If the
  surface is a smooth one, well youre in luck.
  Removal of graffiti is easiest on smooth
  surfaces. Such surfaces can be glass (windows) or
  metal (street signs).
• In order to get the surface looking nice and
  clean, take a dab of cleanser and test it in a
  corner of the surface. If you notice the paint is
  starting to come off easily, then you wont have
  to buy some harsh chemicals. Just put some elbow
  grease and that should take care of the job.
  Scrub away with a cleaner, or with soap and
  water, till no specks of the vandalism is seen.

Graffiti Removal A Necessity

• That wasnt so hard, right? But what if the
  surface is not smooth. What if its a rough one.
  In such cases, it can become especially tough
  trying to remove graffiti from such surfaces. The
  work becomes much more difficult. The height of
  vandalism is when graffiti is on to such surfaces
  such as rough and porous material . If removing
  graffiti leaves an ugly mark on the brick wall,
  it makes more sense to paint the whole wall. The
  job is done better, in less time and fewer steps.
  Scraping the wall is tedious and the results are
  not as desired.
• Calling a professional for the job is the easiest
  and safest way to wipe off the vandalism from
  your wall. However, there are easy solutions that
  you can administer yourself and try to remove the
  evidence of vandalism on your property.
• The best time and chance you have of removing the
  ink or paint off your property is when the
  graffiti is still wet. As it starts to dry, it
  will become tougher to remove the marks.

Benefits of choosing Soda Blasting

• Cleaning and De-Coating In Just One Simple Step
• Though effective, most of the abrasive blasting
  methods result in making a huge mess at the time
  of taking away the coating. In one step, soda
  blasting efficiently de-coats and wipes the
  substrate. However, you cannot reuse the blasted
  sodium bicarbonate as you could with other forms
  of media blasting.
• No need for Pre-Cleaning
• Before you had to start your media blasting
  project, its essential that you thoroughly clean
  the surface before blasting. Often, the surface
  is covered with salt, carbon or grease that needs
  to be wiped off. This practice is done so that
  the end result is smooth and even.
• Perfect option for light cleaning
• Compared to other media blast methods, soda
  blasting is not as hard or abrasive. If you are
  undertaking a project where you want to strip
  away traces of rust or existing paint from the
  exteriors of the surface, then soda blasting is
  your best bet. Another advantage of soda blasting
  is that the surface or shape of the product will
  not be altered. Neither will it leave any impact
  marks. Soda blasting applications can be used
  best for cleaning delicate materials, plastics,
  car frames or cars.

Benefits of choosing Soda Blasting

• Best to use for cleaning food products
• Another useful benefit of using soda blasting is
  for cleaning food. Baking soda is an ingredient
  often used in cooking. You can blast away using
  your soda blaster without any fear of your food
  being contaminated.
• Helps Remove Grease or Oil
• Soda blasting is an effectual blast media since
  it absorbs well. If you need to remove oil or
  grease from the engine of your car without
  worrying about its disfiguration, then soda
  blasting is the perfect medium to take care of
  this job.
• Reduces Waste
• Perhaps the greatest advantage of using soda
  blasting is the fact that it does not leave any
  solid waste behind. In the times that we live in
  today where the environment is polluted day by
  day, we need to consider options that are
  environmentally friendly. The sodium bicarbonate
  that is blasted on to the surface has the
  property to be dissolved in clean water.
• Does away with Odors
• Baking soda has the amazing property to remove
  bad odor. Reason being why we keep it in our
  refrigerator or in our sock drawer. Soda blasting
  not only leaves you with a clean surface but a
  nice scented one.

Why You Should Consider Underground Garage
Cleaning Regularly

• Safety concerns
• Your number one priority should be safety. Not
  just for you and your employees, but also for
  those who give you a visit and park their car in
  your garage. The build-up of grime and dust or
  stubborn oil spots on the ground could
  potentially create some legal responsibility
  problems for you and your organization.
• Value of property is retained
• If your underground garage is regularly cleaned,
  you wont have to worry about oil stains ruining
  your garage floor. The longer you let the oil
  stains sit and set, the more difficult you will
  find it to remove. When you are not able to clean
  the traces of oil stains, the value of your
  property will automatically go down.

Tips On Media Blasting How To Make It Work
Better And Effective

• Proper tools and Equipment
• One of the main reasons people sometimes have
  difficulty in is operating a media blaster when
  the compressor is not able to move at the same
  rate with the blaster. When you go to purchase
  yourself a blaster or if you already own one,
  make sure you check the ratings in contrast to
  your compressor.
• For those who use a blaster for industrial
  purposes, the pressure should be set to 80-100
  PSI at the nozzle. If the pressure is kept any
  less than this, the blaster will not be able to
  properly remove the material since the required
  force is not there. If the blaster is running
  above 100-120 PSI, it will outdo the blaster tank
  and lead the media to collapse.
• Hose Shape and Length
• While having a long hose might be nice, the
  functioning and potential of your blaster will be
  affected drastically. Though you might find it
  inconvenient, keep the length of your air hose
  short as you possibly can. Also, make sure that
  the hose is free of kinks and bends.
• Strat Fresh with a new air filter
• It is suggested that for each blasting project
  you start with, you use a brand new disposable
  air filter. This will be a small price to pay to
  evade the accumulation of wet clumps obstructing
  your pressure blaster.

Benefits of Plastic Media Blasting

• Its Cleaner
• Other ordinary media blasting processes work just
  like plastic media blasting. The only difference
  is that minute sand particles are used to graze
  the metal surface instead.
• Its Safer
• Another standard way of scraping the paint off
  the surface is to apply chemical solutions on the
  metal surface. The chemicals help to remove the
  paint of the metals exteriors.
• Less Waste is Produced
• If we take a look at both the procedures listed
  above, quite a sum of waste is produced that
  needs to be disposed off safely and properly.
  Amongst all of these procedures, plastic media
  blasting and its unique procedure give the
  benefit of reusing the plastic materials. This
  makes the process not only effective but also
  environmental friendly in terms of its produced
  by products.
• Recyclable
• The thousands of plastic particles used in
  striping the paint right off of the exteriors of
  the automobile can be utilized many times. Every
  time the plastic media blast procedure is
  performed, the same plastic particles can be
  recycled and reused.
