Non-Organics

In exterior cleaning, non-organic materials such as oil stains, tire marks, rust stains, and hard water spots can be a common problem. The cleaning method used will depend on the type of material and the severity of the staining.

Oil stains can be cleaned with a degreaser and pressure washing. It’s important to use an environmentally-friendly degreaser that won’t harm surrounding plants or animals. For tire marks, a pressure washer with a surface cleaner attachment can be used to remove the staining.

Rust stains can be challenging to remove and may require the use of a specialized rust remover. A popular method is to use a product called F9 BARC, which is specifically designed to remove rust stains from various surfaces.

Hard water spots can be cleaned using a specialized cleaner that is formulated to dissolve the minerals causing the staining. It’s important to rinse the area thoroughly after cleaning to prevent any streaking.

It’s essential to use the appropriate cleaning method for each type of non-organic material, as some surfaces may be more sensitive to certain chemicals or cleaning techniques. When in doubt, it’s always best to consult with a professional.
