Surfaces and Materials We Clean for Multi-Family Properties
We have the equipment and experience to power wash these common exterior materials.
Vinyl Siding
This technique relies on 2.5% sodium hypochlorite and surfactant rather than high pressure. The team lets it soak in for 10–12 minutes before rinsing at under 300 PSI.
Concrete Walkways, Breezeways, and Pool Decks
The technician applies degreasers or rust removers as necessary. They then come in with the rotating surface head and water heated to 200°F. They’ll use a turbo tip to carefully peel off gum and rinse thoroughly.
Metal Rails, Wood Patios, Trash Pads, and Awnings
For the rest, the team adjusts their approach to match the surface:
- Metal Railings: You need light detergent and soft brushes, not oxidizing agents. Too much pressure will chip the paint or scratch the metal.
- Wood Surfaces: You need to stick to under 250 PSI and a 1% SH dilution with gentle brushing. It’s also important to soak the surface beforehand to protect the fibers.
- Trash Pads: Degrease, scrub, clean, and deodorize thoroughly. Specialist techniques ensure that deep-cleaning dumpster pad areas is quick and effective.
- Awnings: Cleaning exterior awnings requires a delicate approach using fabric-safe detergents and soft-bristled brushes.

What Property Managers Say
About Our Exterior Cleaning
Frequently Asked Questions
Do tenants need to be notified or home before the exterior cleaning starts?
Tenants do not need to be home for exterior cleaning as long as property access is arranged. Platinum Power Washing provides property managers with tenant prep flyers and can work directly with managers to ensure residents are informed ahead of time for a smooth process.
Will you knock on doors or interact with tenants directly before cleaning balconies or breezeways?
Our crews work through property managers and do not knock on tenants’ doors unless arrangements have been made in advance. This helps minimize disruption and keeps the process efficient for both management and residents.
What happens if someone leaves a window open during the wash?
We ask that windows be closed prior to cleaning to prevent water intrusion. Property managers are encouraged to include this in tenant notices to avoid accidental splashing or interior exposure.
Is there any risk to painted stairwells or balconies peeling during the wash?
Older painted surfaces can sometimes flake or peel if the paint is already failing. We use soft-wash techniques and low-pressure rinses to minimize this risk, but recommend discussing any fragile or recently painted areas during the site walkthrough.
How do you prevent water intrusion around electrical outlets or light fixtures?
All exterior outlets and sensitive fixtures are taped or covered before the cleaning begins. This precaution is part of our safety-first process and helps protect both tenants and property infrastructure.
Are there noise concerns or disruptions to tenants during cleaning?
Our equipment produces less noise than traditional high-pressure systems, but some sound is unavoidable during operation. We schedule services at times that minimize disruption and work quickly to complete each area.
Do you clean occupied balconies or only those that are cleared?
We can clean occupied balconies, but any furniture or personal items will limit the thoroughness of our work. For best results, we recommend clearing balconies beforehand to allow full access.
What if a tenant complains after the cleaning—do you return for spot treatments?
Yes. Platinum Power Washing offers a satisfaction guarantee and will return to address any areas that do not meet expectations, working through property management to resolve concerns quickly.
Can you coordinate with on-site property managers or maintenance teams for access and scheduling?
Absolutely. We regularly coordinate with property managers, maintenance teams, and security to arrange access and schedule work at the most convenient times for multi-family communities. This ensures minimal disruption for residents.
