Pressure Washing & Exterior Cleaning FAQs

Most Tucson homes benefit from pressure washing about once a year. Desert dust, haboob dust storms and monsoon mud splash build up on driveways, sidewalks and walkways, so homes near unpaved areas or busy irrigation may need it more often. We'll suggest a schedule based on what we see at your home. See residential pressure washing.

Hot water pressure washing can significantly improve many oil and grease stains on concrete. Results depend on the age of the stain, the surface material and how deeply it has soaked in. Older stains may lighten rather than disappear, and we'll tell you what to expect before we start. Learn more about driveway oil stain removal.

We pressure wash hard residential surfaces such as concrete driveways, sidewalks and walkways, concrete patios, pavers and pool decks. Delicate surfaces like stucco and painted walls get low-pressure soft washing instead, so each part of your home is cleaned with the method that suits it.

Yes. We adjust pressure and detergents to the material, whether it's broom-finish concrete, pavers, Saltillo tile or travertine. Pool decks collect hard water spots from splash-out, sunscreen residue and desert dust, and we clean them carefully while protecting nearby plants and gravel. See pool deck cleaning.

Yes. Paver and patio cleaning removes dirt, algae, monsoon runoff staining and buildup from the surface and joints so outdoor areas look fresh again. We clean with care so pavers aren't etched or damaged. Explore patio cleaning and paver cleaning.

That white, powdery residue is usually efflorescence, mineral salts carried to the surface by moisture from sprinklers, rain or monsoon storms. It's very common in Tucson because our water is hard. We treat it with methods suited to masonry rather than simply blasting it. Learn more about efflorescence removal.

Yes. Rust stains often come from irrigation water with iron or metal furniture, and hard water spots form where sprinklers and pool splash dry on surfaces. We use targeted treatments for each. Some deep stains may not disappear completely, but they can often be greatly improved. See rust stain removal and hard water stain removal.

Yes. We use eco-friendly detergents that are safer for desert landscaping, gravel, cactus, plants and pets. We also take care to rinse and protect surrounding areas during the job. As a company with a golden retriever mascot, keeping your dogs and yard safe matters to us.

Soft washing uses low pressure combined with specialized detergents, which makes it ideal for delicate surfaces like stucco, painted exteriors and trim. Pressure washing uses higher pressure, often with hot water, for hard surfaces such as concrete driveways and walkways. We choose the method that fits each surface. See soft washing & house washing.

Yes. Soft washing is one of the most effective ways to clean stucco because it removes dust, dirt film, cobwebs and monsoon splash without relying on aggressive pressure that could damage the finish. Stucco is the most common exterior in the Tucson area. Learn more about stucco house washing.

Most homeowners benefit from house washing every 12 to 24 months, depending on dust exposure, nearby landscaping, irrigation overspray and how much buildup is present. Homes that see heavy monsoon splash or dust storms may want it sooner. We'll give you an honest recommendation after looking at your home.

Most homeowners benefit from professional dryer vent cleaning every one to two years. Larger households that run the dryer often may need it more frequently. In Southern Arizona, lint combined with desert dust and long vent runs can restrict airflow faster. See dryer vent cleaning.

Common signs include longer drying times, clothes still damp after a cycle, excessive heat around the dryer, a burning smell or more lint than usual. Birds nesting at the vent opening can also block airflow. Routine cleaning is recommended because buildup develops gradually and is often unnoticed until airflow is badly restricted.

Yes. Blazey's Home Services cleans standard residential dryer vent configurations, including flexible and rigid vent lines, from the dryer to the exterior vent opening. Michael explains what he finds and what you can do to keep the vent clearer between cleanings, a detail customers often mention in their reviews.
