At Balo Jetwash, we take pride in delivering high-quality exterior cleaning services in Sutton Coldfield and the surrounding areas. Recently, a lovely customer reached out, asking for a professional cleaning of their brick wall fence. Over time, exposure to the elements had left the bricks in poor condition, with a heavy build-up of moss, dirt, and general grime. The customer was concerned that the wall’s appearance had deteriorated, making the property look less appealing.

Understanding the Challenge

Brick surfaces, especially those exposed to the outdoors, accumulate dirt and organic growth over the years. Moss, algae, and pollutants can cling to the brickwork, leading to staining, discolouration, and even damage if left untreated. In this particular case, the customer's main concern was not only to restore the look of the wall but also to preserve its structural integrity.

Bricks can be delicate, and using excessive pressure during cleaning can damage the surface, loosen mortar joints, or even cause cracks. That’s why, at Balo Jetwash, we always tailor our approach to ensure the best results without compromising the brickwork.

Our Gentle Yet Effective Cleaning Approach

To meet the customer’s request, we implemented a careful and strategic cleaning process:

1. Pre-Treatment with a Specialised Cleaning Solution
   Before pressure washing, we applied a professional-grade cleaning detergent designed to break down dirt, moss, and algae without damaging the bricks. This helps to loosen contaminants, making them easier to remove.

Cleaning your driveway might seem like a simple task, especially with the abundance of online guides and videos. However, in reality, it is a more complex process, and hiring a professional is often the best choice. Here are four compelling reasons why professional driveway cleaning services are worth it:

1. Industrial-Grade Cleaning Equipment

A professional cleaner, such as Balo Jetwash, uses industrial cleaning machines capable of releasing up to 29 litres of water per minute at 300 bar pressure. This level of power is sufficient to remove stubborn moss, algae, and other dirt that accumulate over time without causing any damage to the surface. These high-performance machines are not available for hire at local equipment rental shops, and smaller alternatives may take much longer to achieve less effective results while risking potential surface damage.

2. Specialised Cleaning Products

Professional cleaning services, like Balo Jetwash, have access to specialised industrial cleaning solutions that are not available for public purchase. These products are exclusively sold to certified professionals who have undergone rigorous training in both their safe storage and application. By using the right cleaning solutions for different surfaces, professionals ensure your driveway is thoroughly cleaned without any risk of damage, all while employing environmentally friendly methods.

3. Save Time and Energy

Cleaning a driveway yourself requires a significant amount of time and energy. You might spend two weekends on the task and still end up with questionable results. Hiring a professional cleaner saves you the hassle, delivering fast and effective results so you can focus on more important things.
