It demonstrates a company’s commitment to maintaining the highest safety standards. By achieving SSIP accreditation through <a data-mce-href="https://www.pqscheme.com/" href="https://www.pqscheme.com/" title="PQS SSIP" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PQS (SSIP Health &amp; Safety Assessment)</a>, our exterior cleaning company has proven its dedication to safe and compliant operations.</p><h2>Why SSIP Accreditation Matters</h2><p>Health and safety compliance is crucial in the exterior cleaning industry. Achieving SSIP accreditation assures customers that we follow strict safety protocols. This reduces risks, enhances efficiency and builds trust in our services.</p><h2>Benefits for Our Customers</h2><h3>1. Confidence in Safety Standards</h3><p>SSIP accreditation guarantees that we meet industry safety requirements. Customers can be confident that our team operates with proper risk management and best practices.</p><h3>2. Professionalism and Compliance</h3><p>Certified companies must adhere to strict health and safety regulations. This ensures a high level of professionalism in every project, from residential soft washing to large-scale commercial cleaning.</p><h3>3. Reduced Liability Risks</h3><p>By choosing an SSIP-accredited company, customers reduce their liability exposure. We take responsibility for maintaining safe working conditions, protecting both clients and employees.</p><h3>4.

<h2>Why Professional Pressure Washing Matters</h2><p>Pressure washing, also known as jet washing or power washing, is an effective way to clean driveways, patios and building exteriors. However, achieving the best results requires more than just high-pressure water.</p><p>At Ex Clean, we understand the science behind cleaning methods, ensuring safety and efficiency.</p><h3>Pressure vs Flow Rate: The Key to Effective Cleaning</h3><p>Many people believe that higher pressure alone guarantees better results but this isn’t always the case. Professional pressure washing services like Ex Clean use the right balance of pressure (measured in bar or PSI) and flow rate (litres per minute) to achieve superior results while protecting surfaces.</p><h3>Water Pressure (PSI/Bar) – The Power Behind Cleaning</h3><p>High pressure is useful for removing stubborn dirt and grime but excessive force can damage delicate surfaces like wood or brick mortar. Ex Clean assesses each surface before adjusting the pressure accordingly. Not all surfaces need high pressure!</p><h3>Flow Rate (Litres per Minute – LPM) – The Efficiency Factor</h3><p>Flow rate determines how much water is delivered per minute. A high flow rate rinses away loosened dirt more effectively making it a crucial factor in professional cleaning.</p><h3>Why DIY Pressure Washing Poses Risks</h3><p>Attempting to pressure wash surfaces without proper knowledge can lead to costly damage. Incorrect pressure settings can damage materials, strip paint, erode mortar or even cause injury. We use commercial grade equipment and trained operators to ensure safety and quality results.</p><h3>The Right Pressure and Flow Rate for Different Surfaces</h3><p>Professional externasl cleaners tailor their approach based on the surface they’re cleaning. Wood needs treating differently to concrete, likewise, concrete is tret different to tarmac! We know our surfaces and know how to clean, restore and protect them!</p><h3>Why Professionals Use Hot Water or Steam Cleaning</h3><p>While cold water pressure washers are great general cleaning, hot water pressure washers are superior for removing grease, oil, and industrial grime. Ex Clean has access to these advanced machines, ensuring deeper and more effective cleaning.</p><h3>Using the Right Nozzle for Maximum Efficiency</h3><p>Pressure washer nozzles are a subject of tyheir own! There are so many to choose from that this can become confusing to the untrained! We always assess anmd select the appropriate nozzle for each job to avoid unnecessary damage.</p><h3>The Role of Cleaning Detergents</h3><p>For tough stains, we use specialised detergents alongside soft washing techniques. This approach enhances cleaning results while minimising surface damage. Eco-friendly chemicals are always used when possible and up,ost care is taken to protect your property and the surrounding environment.&nbsp;</p><h3>Conclusion: The Smart Choice for Pressure Washing</h3><p>Hiring a professional pressure washing company like us nsures the best results with minimal risk. Trained experts use the right pressure, flow rate, and cleaning techniques to restore surfaces safely and effectively. For homeowners and businesses in the UK, investing in a professional service saves time, protects property, and delivers long-lasting cleanliness.</p><p>#PressureWashing #Science #ExteriorCleaning #ExClean</p>

<h2>Reflecting on Our Achievements: Business Highlights of 2024</h2><p>As 2024 comes to a close, it’s the perfect time to reflect on the milestones and achievements that have shaped our year. From expanding our services to enhancing customer satisfaction, this year has been filled with growth and exciting developments. In this post, we’ll highlight some of the key moments that made 2024 a standout year for Ex Clean (formerly known as Elite Wash Exterior Cleaning).</p><h3>Our First Roof Clean: LS8</h3><p>After months of research, training, and advice from industry experts, we were finally ready for our first roof cleaning job. The opportunity came when a customer asked us to clean their roof following a gutter clearance through our <a data-mce-href="https://www.checkatrade.com/trades/elitewashexteriorcleaning" href="https://www.checkatrade.com/trades/elitewashexteriorcleaning" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CheckaTrade</a> Profile. And what a job it was—the heaviest moss we had ever encountered! This was certainly a challenging project to dive into, but we rose to the occasion.</p><figure id="figure-k8nl7v4ba8m4tsichw"><img id="k8nl7v4ba8m4tsichw" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/10maA0ZTuiPfOiTHNhGzclodNqEafWxaUD6ebsqX0CwacR6PihqxcuJYJevutUC1.jpg" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/10maA0ZTuiPfOiTHNhGzclodNqEafWxaUD6ebsqX0CwacR6PihqxcuJYJevutUC1.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure><p>The job took us two days to complete at the time, but now, with more refined techniques and greater efficiency, we could easily finish the same job in a single day. It’s a great example of how far we’ve come in improving our processes and skills.</p><h3>Overcoming Van Troubles: A Test of Perseverance</h3><p>Not every moment of 2024 was a smooth ride. Our beloved first van experienced multiple breakdowns throughout the year. This created delays for our customers and put a strain on our cash flow—a key challenge for any small business.</p><figure id="figure-5c8wnsodl9m4ts0paf" class=""><img id="5c8wnsodl9m4ts0paf" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/9W4bY3rIk11AL5eTpbW428DriPsvQujRDNKLfmTYuHH18uiRiTycG1tStHxvMj4P.jpg" alt="Elite Wash Exterior Cleaning van, operating throughout Yorkshire" title="Elite Wash Exterior Cleaning van, operating throughout Yorkshire" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="Where it all started" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/9W4bY3rIk11AL5eTpbW428DriPsvQujRDNKLfmTYuHH18uiRiTycG1tStHxvMj4P.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"><figcaption class="body-normal text-gray-500 mt-2">Where it all started</figcaption></figure><p>But we persevered. We borrowed vans, rented vehicles, and did whatever was necessary to keep operations running smoothly. There were many moments when it would have been easy to throw in the towel, but we refused to give up. The real highlight of this challenge was the perseverance, adaptability, and grit we showed in keeping things moving, even when times were tough.</p><h3>Attending the Pureseal Training Course</h3><p>The <a data-mce-href="https://puresealservices.co.uk/" href="https://puresealservices.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pureseal Training Course</a> was an invaluable experience. While health and safety content is often dry and repitive, this time, it was extremely useful. We gained essential knowledge on the safe storage, transport, handling and usage of chemicals and sealers, which we now use daily.</p><p>The course also covered cleaning techniques for various surfaces, including the equipment, methods, and chemicals we apply. Although much of the material was already familiar, the real <strong>difference between a good and excellent</strong> service lies in the small details—the tips and techniques that only come from trusted, experienced professionals. This course has been instrumental in elevating our expertise and refining our skills.</p><h3>Our First Sealing Job: WF9</h3><p>Armed with our new skills and knowledge, we took on our first sealing job in WF9. With the confidence gained from the Pureseal Training Course, we were ready to tackle the project with precision and care. The job involved cleaning and sealing a block-paving driveway, and we couldn't have been more pleased with the result!</p><p>Before we could apply the sealant, we had to ensure the driveway was thoroughly cleaned—a messy job but essential for a flawless finish. We returned the next day for sanding and sealing, and the weather was on our side: ideal temperatures, no rain, and perfect moisture levels in the blocks.</p><figure id="figure-1amvhgfi1gm4trzas6"><img id="1amvhgfi1gm4trzas6" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/1e2zDoydLOWI5STrWkJMZm2R6xm9C8sbBN5rbzxa01hcK25dV81a6edWa7j210Qq.jpg" alt="Block Paved driveway, before and after a clean and sealing service" title="Block Paved driveway, before and after a clean and sealing service" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="Block Paved driveway, before and after a clean and sealing service" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/1e2zDoydLOWI5STrWkJMZm2R6xm9C8sbBN5rbzxa01hcK25dV81a6edWa7j210Qq.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"><figcaption class="body-normal text-gray-500 mt-2">Block Paved driveway, before and after a clean and sealing service</figcaption></figure><p>The final result was a beautifully restored driveway, and the customer was absolutely delighted with the transformation.</p><h3>Wrapping Up 2024: A Year of Growth and Resilience</h3><p>In conclusion, 2024 has been a year of both challenges and triumphs. We've met incredible people, delivered high-quality work, and formed valuable connections along the way. While the road wasn’t always smooth, each challenge presented an opportunity for growth. We’re proud of what we’ve accomplished, and we’re excited for what the future holds.</p><p><strong>"The greater the obstacle, the more glory in overcoming it." — Molière</strong></p><p>As we wrap up this year, we look forward to continuing to provide exceptional exterior cleaning services in the years to come. Here's to another year of growth, resilience, and success!

<h2>How Our Exterior Cleaning Services Can Help</h2><p>Storms can be unpredictable, leaving a trail of damage and debris in their wake. As a property owner in the UK, it’s essential to assess your home or business after a storm to ensure it remains safe, clean, and structurally sound. The powerful winds, heavy rain, and even hailstorms can affect various aspects of your property, often in ways that are not immediately visible.</p><p>At Ex Clean (Formerly known as Elite Wash Exterior Cleaning), we understand how overwhelming it can be to inspect your property after a storm. That’s why we offer professional exterior cleaning services to help you keep your property looking its best and ensure everything is in top condition.</p><p>Here’s a helpful guide on what to check for after a storm and how we can assist you in restoring your property to its former glory.</p><h3>Roof Inspection</h3><p><br>Your roof is one of the most vulnerable parts of your property during a storm. High winds, fallen branches, and heavy rain can cause damage that might not be visible from the ground. It’s crucial to check for any missing or loose tiles, cracks, or other signs of damage.</p><p><strong>How We Can Help:</strong> Our roof cleaning service is designed to not only remove dirt, moss, and algae but also to spot any potential damage. After a storm, we can safely assess your roof for issues, provide a thorough cleaning, and even repair minor damage. This will help prevent further deterioration and extend the life of your roof. <a data-mce-href="https://elitewash.mydurable.com/roof-and-solar-panel-cleaning" href="https://elitewash.mydurable.com/roof-and-solar-panel-cleaning" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Click here </a>to find out more.</p><h3>Gutter Cleaning and Inspection</h3><p><br>Storms often bring a lot of debris, such as leaves, twigs, and even loose tiles and pointing, which can clog your gutters. Blocked gutters can lead to water damage, foundation issues, and even interior leaks.</p><p><strong>How We Can Help:</strong> Our professional gutter cleaning service will ensure your gutters are clear of debris, allowing water to flow freely. We also inspect the condition of your gutters and downpipes to make sure they are intact and functioning properly. If necessary, we can carry out minor repairs to prevent future blockages. For more help with gutters <a data-mce-href="https://elitewash.mydurable.com/gutter---upvc-cleaning" href="https://elitewash.mydurable.com/gutter---upvc-cleaning" target="_blank" rel="noopener">click here.</a></p><h3>Exterior Walls and Windows</h3><p><br>Strong winds and rain can leave your walls and windows covered in dirt, stains, and even algae or moss. This not only affects the appearance of your property but can also lead to long-term damage if left untreated.</p><p><strong>How We Can Help:</strong> We offer expert pressure washing and soft washing services to clean the exterior of your property. This removes dirt, grime, and biological growth such as moss or algae that may have formed on your walls. </p><p>We also clean windows, ensuring that both your home and business look pristine after the storm.&nbsp;</p><h3>Driveways and Pathways</h3><p><br>Your driveway and pathways can take a beating during a storm, especially if you live in an area prone to flooding or fallen debris. Mud, dirt, and even oil stains can make these areas look unsightly and slippery, creating safety hazards for you and your family.</p><p><strong>How We Can Help: </strong>Our driveway and pathway cleaning services include pressure washing to remove stubborn stains, moss, and dirt, restoring the appearance and safety of these high-traffic areas. We can also treat the surfaces to prevent future moss and algae growth, ensuring your driveway stays in excellent condition year-round. Let us help you, <a data-mce-href="https://elitewash.mydurable.com/patio-driveway-cleaning" href="https://elitewash.mydurable.com/patio-driveway-cleaning" target="_blank" rel="noopener">click here.&nbsp;</a></p><h3>Garden and Outdoor Spaces</h3><p><br>After a storm, your garden may be scattered with debris, fallen branches, and dirt, and your patio or decking might be slippery or covered with organic growth. It’s important to check these areas not only for cleanliness but for safety, too.</p><p><strong>How We Can Help:</strong> We offer garden cleaning services to tidy up your outdoor spaces, clear debris, and ensure that patios, decking, and pathways are safe to use. Our team can also pressure wash decking and patios to remove grime, algae, and moss, helping to maintain their condition and prolong their lifespan.</p><h3>Structural Safety Checks</h3><p><br>While exterior cleaning is important, storm damage can sometimes affect the structure of your property in more subtle ways. Cracks in walls, shifted fences, or weakened foundations are all signs of damage that should be addressed as soon as possible.</p><p><strong>How We Can Help: </strong>While we’re primarily focused on exterior cleaning, we can help by pointing out any obvious signs of structural damage during our inspections. We’ll advise you on the next steps to take and may recommend a professional structural surveyor if necessary.&nbsp;</p><h3>&nbsp;<br>Why Choose Us?</h3><p><br>At Ex Clean, we are committed to providing reliable and professional exterior cleaning services throughout the UK. Our team is experienced, fully insured, and equipped to handle the cleaning needs of both residential and commercial properties.</p><p>We understand the impact storms can have on your property, and we’re here to help you restore your home or business to its best condition. Whether it’s a post-storm roof check, gutter cleaning, or a complete exterior wash, we offer tailored services designed to meet your specific needs.</p><p>Don’t wait for the damage to worsen! <a data-mce-href="https://elitewash.mydurable.com/contact" href="https://elitewash.mydurable.com/contact" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Contact us</a> today to schedule your post-storm property inspection and exterior cleaning.
