Could you please explain to me why car washing is allowed when cleaning by professional power washers is not? Please do not use the recyclable water thing as recycled water still has to be replaced from time to time and multiple power washing companies also reclaim & recycle their water. The point I’m looking for is….

If someone has algae on the roof of their home, or mildew on their siding or deck – these become health issues and further shorten the life of the substrate they are feeding on. To my knowledge, having some dust on your car doesn’t shorten the life of the car, doesn’t improve gas mileage, isn’t a potential health hazard, and falls more under the purely aesthetic category, obviously more so than maintaining the safe living environment of one of the largest investments that people make – their homes!

Please don’t get me wrong – I firmly believe in conserving water as do most other power washing companies. We do not waste water when performing our services. The larger percentage of professional companies has methods and equipment in place to utilize the least amount of water necessary to do our jobs efficiently and effectively. By prohibiting professionals from doing our job, you are simply increasing the number of homeowners who are going to sneak around the care for their property. Is graffiti removal going to be prohibited – do you want Raleigh to look like some of the inner city photos you see? How are taxpaying homeowners going to feel when graffiti removal, not a sanitary issue, is allowed, but maintaining the appearance of their own homes is disregarded?
