Shine<\/a>\u00a0uses ONLY biodegradable, City of Austin approved detergents and chemicals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Using detergents and some chemicals are the only way some surfaces will become clean, as long as a professional is applying them. How dirty your surface is will determine how much chemical will be used. Our power washers allow for variable pressures to keep minimal pressure on a particular surface. Cleaning vinyl siding with our soft washing technique uses a mixture of eco-friendly chemicals and very low pressure. For some concrete cleaning jobs, we do not need any chemicals. Just a good ole fashioned water pressure and a flat surface cleaner designed specifically for concrete cleaning. The deck cleaning chemicals we use depend on the type of deck and staining application that is currently being used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
