How We Will Restore Your Vacation Rental After Hurricane Damage: Our Detailed Process
At Burnt Store Pressure Pros, we understand that Florida’s hurricanes can leave vacation rentals in rough shape. When you trust us with your property, you can expect a thorough, professional, and eco-conscious approach—using industry-leading cleaning solutions and methods to bring your home back to life. Here’s how we will handle a 3,000 sqft house wash, 1,300 sqft of flat work, and a pool cage restoration for your vacation rental.
1. Initial Greeting & Property Walkthrough
We will begin by greeting you onsite and reviewing the entire property together. We will listen to your concerns, confirm the areas to be cleaned, and answer any questions you have. This walkthrough will allow us to identify fragile areas, set realistic expectations, and document the property’s condition with “before” photos.
2. Inspection & Surface Preparation
Before any cleaning begins, we will:
Inspect for pre-existing damage, delicate landscaping, and open windows or vulnerable fixtures.
Tape off electrical outlets, pre-water all vegetation to prevent chemical absorption, and cover or move sensitive items.
Ensure all safety protocols are in place, including the use of gloves, goggles, and other protective gear.
3. Equipment & Solution Preparation
We will prepare our professional-grade equipment, which will include:
A pressure washer and soft wash system
12.5% sodium hypochlorite (a powerful, industry-standard cleaning agent)
Elemonator surfactant (to help our cleaning solution cling to surfaces and break down organic matter)
High-quality water for diluting chemicals and rinsing
We will mix the sodium hypochlorite, Elemonator, and water in precise ratios tailored to each surface. This blend will allow us to safely and effectively remove mold, mildew, algae, and storm debris.
4. House Soft Washing
For the 3,000 sqft house wash, we will use our soft wash system:
We will apply the cleaning solution (sodium hypochlorite + Elemonator + water) to the home’s exterior with low pressure, allowing it to dwell and break down contaminants.
The Elemonator surfactant will ensure the solution sticks to vertical surfaces and penetrates grime.
After the dwell time, we will rinse thoroughly with low-pressure, high-quality water, ensuring a clean, damage-free finish.
5. Flat Work Cleaning: Pool Deck & Driveway
The pool deck and driveway (1,300 sqft total) will require a slightly different approach:
We will pre-treat these surfaces with the same cleaning solution, adjusting the sodium hypochlorite concentration as needed for concrete or pavers.
The Elemonator will help lift oils, algae, and embedded stains.
We will use surface cleaners and controlled pressure washing to remove all buildup, then rinse with fresh water to leave the area spotless and safe for use.
6. Pool Cage Restoration
Pool cages are notorious for trapping debris and algae, especially after a hurricane. We will:
Gently apply our cleaning solution to the screens and frames, allowing the Elemonator and sodium hypochlorite to break down organic growth.
Use soft brushes and low-pressure rinsing to avoid damaging the screens, ensuring a thorough clean and restored visibility.
7. Ongoing Communication & Quality Checks
Throughout the process, we will keep you updated on our progress and check in if we notice anything unexpected. We will also document our work with “after” photos for your records.
8. Final Walkthrough
Once all cleaning is complete, we will walk the property with you to review every area. If you spot any areas needing extra attention, we will address them immediately.
9. Easy Payment & Follow-Up
We will summarize the completed work, provide a clear invoice, and make payment easy. We will also request your feedback and offer maintenance tips to keep your property looking its best.
