What is the difference between atmospheric and biological staining?

Atmospheric staining is carbon-based pollution from urban air exposure. Biological staining includes mold, mildew, and algae growth caused by moisture. Each requires different cleaning chemistry and process.

Can pressure washing damage limestone?

Yes. Limestone is highly sensitive to pressure and acidic cleaners. Improper cleaning can cause permanent etching, discoloration, and erosion.

Why does blonde brick turn green after cleaning?

Blonde brick can discolor if the wrong restoration cleaner is used. Certain chemical reactions may create a greenish hue that can be permanent.

Is steam pressure washing better than cold water washing?

Steam pressure washing is effective for grease, gum, and heavy buildup. The correct method depends on the building material and contaminant type.

How does Chicago’s freeze–thaw cycle affect building cleaning?

Improper cleaning can introduce moisture into masonry. Freeze–thaw cycles can expand trapped water and cause cracking or deterioration.
