Water alone will not effectively clean your home. If you have mold, mildew, moss or any number of species of fungus growing on your property, you must use chemicals. Water alone will remove only the growth visible to the naked eye. The growth is guaranteed to return in a very short time.

Proper cleaning of all surfaces should include the application of chemicals specific to the surface you are cleaning. By using the correct chemical, less water pressure will be required, reducing the risk of damage to your property.
