A Gentle Cleaning Solution
In the beautiful upper Mary Valley Country, sitting on the Mary River is the small town of Kenilworth. Offering a host of activities and attracting visitors from across Australia, Kenilworth retains its 1930s atmosphere with its classic buildings and shops.
Kenilworth post office is one such building that is used daily by locals and tourists alike. As such, it was important that the building be kept clean and presentable. However, due to its age and delicate features, a gentle cleaning approach was required.
Water Atack Pressure Washing was approached to carry out cleaning at the post office. Utilising our unique cleaning processes, we were able to clean the entire building without causing any damage!
Why Kenilworth Post Office Needed A Clean
Having opened in 1926, Kenilworth is an older building that had begun to show its age. Over the years, the build-up of dirt and grime had dulled the once bright facade of the post office, making it look tired and run-down.
In addition, due to its location in a high-traffic area, the walkway of the office was also subject to a great deal of dirt and grime. This was made worse by the fact that the office is located near a road, which meant that dust and other pollutants were constantly being blown onto the building.
These factors meant that Kenilworth post office was in desperate need of a face lift! Water Atack Pressure Washing was able to give the building the deep clean it desperately needed.
Soft Wash - A Traditional Pressure Cleaning Alternative
Due to the age of the building and its exterior facade, a traditional pressure cleaning approach would have been to harsh and could have caused damage. This is because the high-pressure water jet would have been too abrasive and could have easily caused damage to the delicate features of the building.
Instead, we utilised a soft wash system. This is a low-pressure alternative that is just as effective at removing dirt and grime, but without the risk of damaging delicate surfaces. Offering a host of benefits, soft washing is the preferred cleaning method for surfaces that are old, or delicate such as old bricks, and timber.
