By Goliath Softwash
Scheduling a pressure washing service is a great way to restore your home’s curb appeal—but before the pros arrive, a little preparation goes a long way. At Goliath Softwash, we’re often asked: “What do I need to do before you arrive?” Don’t worry—it’s simple, and we’re here to guide you step by step.

Getting your home ready:
Protects delicate items from water damage

Helps ensure a safe and efficient cleaning process
How should I prepare my home for pressure washing?
Here are the essentials:
1. Clear the area
Move patio furniture, grills, potted plants, and decorative items away from walls, driveways, and decks. This gives us full access and prevents water damage.
2. Close all windows and doors
Check that windows, doors, and garage doors are tightly shut to avoid leaks inside.
3. Cover sensitive items
If you have outdoor light fixtures, outlets, or cameras, cover them with plastic or waterproof material for protection.
4. Turn off outdoor power
Switch off any exterior electrical outlets or light switches to avoid shorts or shocks.
5. Inform the technician of problem areas
Point out mildew, stubborn stains, or damaged areas you’d like us to give special attention to.
6. Keep pets and children indoors
For safety, make sure all pets and kids are kept away from the work zone during and after the cleaning.
Do I need to use any chemicals or supplies?
Nope! Goliath Softwash brings everything needed—including eco-friendly cleaning solutions designed to safely break down dirt, mold, and grime without harming your home or landscaping.
