Awning Cleaning in Mākaha, HI
Commercial properties in Hawaii usually need sidewalks, entrances and buildings cleaned several times a year to control mildew and salt film.
Parts of Hawaii are exposed to hurricanes and tropical storms. After a storm, washing removes mud, debris and salt spray from siding, screens and walkways. Check for damage first: loose siding, broken screens and roof damage need repair before anyone washes them.
Near the coast, salt air leaves a film on siding, windows, screens and railings that dulls finishes and speeds up corrosion on metal. Regular rinsing and washing help protect them.

Do you use high pressure for awning cleaning?
Awning Cleaning is done with soft wash and hand cleaning. Low pressure and the right solution remove growth and dirt without damaging the surface, and the growth takes longer to come back.
Is awning cleaning 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 awning cleaning?
Every 6-12 months. 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. If the weather isn't right, we reschedule at no charge. Our work is backed by a satisfaction guarantee.
