Power Washing And Its Affect On Your Plants

Power washing your house and roof removes built up dirt, algae, mold and mildew. Some roofs are best washed using a low pressure chemical clean. Although most chemicals claim to be plant and animal safe, the solution still may damage your plants if not dealt with properly. Unfortunately, much of your impressive landscaping resides in the direct line of the chemical run-off.

In an article by Amy Rodriguez, of Demand Media, she explains how the bleach solution most pressure washers use will transform into salt as the bleach breaks down after run-off. Therefore, the excess amount of salinity on the plants contributes to its death as it causes the plant to struggle for water absorption.
