Porch Cleaning FAQ
Details that affect the plan.
How is the glass protected?
Glazing and seals are masked and the method is controlled around edges. The exact protection plan depends on the porch construction.
Can you clean the brick and timber together?
They can form one project, but each material may require a different medium, pressure and sequence.
