  • Is there a difference between power washing and pressure washing?

    The terms “power wash” and “pressure wash” are synonymous. These terms are used interchangeably to describe the process of using high-pressure water to clean surfaces.


    According to The Home Depot, water can come out of the end of a pressure washing wand at up to 2,000 pounds of force. That being said, a power washing service in Lewes, DE will clean the exterior of your home in no time. Contact Wave Wash Cleaning to book a service.

  • What is soft washing?

    Soft Washing is the combination of the use of correct detergents, dwell times, and lower-pressure rinsing systems. The detergents we utilize effectively kill mold, mildew, and algae. This process allows us to safely remove grime from any surface. Whether you need a soft washing or power washing service in Lewes, DE, contact our team today.

  • Can I do the power washing on my own?

    While power washing can be viewed as a do-it-yourself project, there is a clear distinction between a DIY crew and professional services. This means you get greater capability of equipment and greater expertise by having trained power washing technicians do it for you.


    A do-it-yourself washer may set the pressure too high for the surface or hold the nozzle too close. This can result in chipped paint, damaged screens, and ruined siding. And though most power washing equipment you can rent has the same PSI as commercial-grade tools, it holds a minimal amount of water - making this project take days, not hours.

  • How often do most surfaces need power washed?

    For the majority of surfaces, an annual power washing should suffice. It does depend on the materials used to create/build the surface as well as the current condition of the surface, so you may need to increase the frequency of power washings.

  • Will you disturb my business/customers during cleaning?

    We understand that an amazing customer experience for you means keeping your workflow and workday as intact as possible. Our power washing service will be completed diligently to accommodate you and your business needs. We strive to make this process as convenient for you as possible and would happily tailor an approach to meet your needs.

  • Are there health risks associated with mold, mildew, and algae?

    Yes, there are health reasons to pressure washing your home. Mildew and mold are not good to inhale and can create allergies and other threatening conditions. A  regularly washed home helps prevent mold and mildew from spreading into the interior of the house, decreasing the health risks significantly.

  • Does it have to be sunny to pressure wash a home?

    No! Your power washing service can happen any day, rain or shine. Getting wet is an inevitable aspect of this type of cleaning. The only time that we would have to reschedule your service would be in the event of dangerous, inclement weather such as lightning.

  • Are your chemicals safe for my plants, pets, and family?

    YES: Our products are specifically formulated to provide the highest level of cleaning power, yet pose a negligible risk. The materials are highly diluted with water and the low application rates make them practically harmless. You may not know this but the materials we use are similar to ones you can purchase yourself at your local supply stores.
