Walkways, driveways and pool decks in Puerto Rico get slippery from algae quickly. Regular cleaning, with pre- and post-treatment, keeps them safer.
Red clay soil is common in parts of Puerto Rico. Rain splashes it onto the bottom of the siding, walls and walkways, and its iron-rich color can stain light surfaces. It usually needs a dedicated clay or rust cleaner rather than pressure alone.
