Do you use high pressure for oil stain removal?
Oil Stain Removal is usually done with degreaser and hot-water pressure wash, with the pressure adjusted for each surface. Delicate surfaces nearby, such as siding, windows and plants, are protected or cleaned with lower pressure.
Is oil stain removal the same as oil stain cleanup?
Yes. Oil stain cleanup or driveway oil removal are other names for oil stain removal. Whatever it's called, we use degreaser and hot-water pressure wash and match the pressure and cleaning solution to the surface.
Is oil stain removal safe for my plants and pets?
We pre-wet plants and lawns, keep cleaning solutions diluted to what the surface needs, and rinse landscaping again when we finish. Keep pets and children inside until surfaces are rinsed and dry.
How often should I schedule oil stain removal?
As needed. Shade, nearby trees, humidity and heavy traffic mean more frequent cleaning; sunny, dry spots can go longer. Our free cleaning frequency tool gives a recommendation for your climate.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain doesn't stop most washing, but heavy rain, high wind, lightning and freezing temperatures do, and sealers and stains need dry weather to cure. If the weather isn't right, we reschedule at no charge. Our work is backed by a satisfaction guarantee.
