Question 1

What is the difference between pressure washing and soft washing?

Accepted Answer

Pressure washing uses high-pressure water to blast away dirt and staining from hard surfaces like concrete and brick. Soft washing uses low pressure combined with specialized cleaning solutions, making it safer for siding, paint, and roofs. Our team chooses the right technique for each surface to get the best results without damage.

Question 2

Is pressure washing safe for my home's siding?

Accepted Answer

Yes, when done correctly. We use soft washing — not high-pressure blasting — on vinyl, stucco, aluminum, and painted siding. This approach is endorsed by siding manufacturers and avoids the damage that improper pressure washing can cause.

Question 3

How long does a typical job take?

Accepted Answer

Most residential exterior cleaning jobs take 2–5 hours. A driveway might be 1–3 hours on its own, while a full house wash with driveway and sidewalks could be a half-day. We'll give you a clear estimate when we schedule.

Question 4

Will pressure washing damage my landscaping?

Accepted Answer

No. Before we start, we rinse and protect sensitive plants, and our cleaning solutions are biodegradable and plant-friendly. We take pride in leaving the yard exactly the way we found it.

Question 5

Do you offer free estimates?

Accepted Answer

Yes — every estimate is free and no-obligation. You can request a quote by phone or through our contact form, and we'll follow up within 24 hours.

Question 6

Are you licensed and insured?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Danko Cleaning Solutions is fully licensed and insured. We can provide a certificate of insurance for any customer or property manager who needs one.

Question 7

What areas in Charlotte do you serve?

Accepted Answer

We serve the greater Charlotte metro — including Charlotte, Ballantyne, Matthews, Mint Hill, Concord, Huntersville, Mooresville, Kannapolis, Harrisburg, and Indian Trail. If you're nearby and not sure, give us a call!

Question 8

How often should I pressure wash my driveway?

Accepted Answer

Once a year is right for most driveways in the Charlotte area. Driveways with heavy tree cover, frequent oil drips, or heavy foot traffic may benefit from twice-yearly cleaning.

Question 9

Can you remove oil stains from concrete?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We use a multi-step degreaser process to lift oil and grease from concrete. Fresh stains usually come out fully; very old, deep stains may significantly lighten rather than disappear completely. We'll always set clear expectations.

Question 10

Do you offer commercial pressure washing?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We handle storefronts, parking lots, drive-thrus, dumpster pads, building exteriors, and multi-unit properties. Recurring service contracts are available, and we can work after-hours or weekends to avoid disrupting operations.

Question 11

What payment methods do you accept?

Accepted Answer

We accept cash, check, all major credit cards, and most digital payment methods. Payment is typically due after the job is complete and you're fully satisfied.

Question 12

How do I prepare my property before you arrive?

Accepted Answer

Just a few simple things: move cars off the driveway, close windows and doors, bring in pets, and let us know about any particularly fragile plants or fixtures. We'll handle everything else.
