Kingwood, TX Soft Wash Roof and Exterior Cleaning Services

If you live in Kingwood, Tx, Humble, TX, Atascocita, and surrounding areas you will notice our roofs will have a lot of black stains on them. This is caused by an algae that set's into the shingles and will grow and eventually take over your roof. The technical term for this is Gloeocapsa Magma. This type of algae is contained and transported through the air and tends to collect and grow on roofing surfaces.


Algae discolorations are tough to remove from roofing surfaces and should be performed only by a professional roof and exterior cleaning service company. Having the proper cleaning solutions and equipment for the job is THE most important thing in removing these stains.

High Pressure washing systems for algae removal should not be used, as communicated in a recent technical bulletin issued by the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association.

Super Fresh™ Removes ODORS Caused by Top Load Washing Machines

 Left Picture: View from outside washing machine.

Right Picture: View of inside gasket showing mold and mildew.




If you own a high efficiency front load washing machine then you have probably been very pleased with the fact that these washing machines clean your clothing better with less water, come out of the washing machine dryer due to a high speed final spin cycle, which allows for less drying time, as well as many other energy saving features.

One thing you may not be happy about is the fact that these washing machines can and will cause your laundry area as well as your clothes to have a mold or mildew type smell.

This odor is caused by the gasket that is located immediately inside the front door. As you will see in the pictures, the inner lining of the gasket is manufactured in such a way that water can collect at the bottom of the gasket causing the water to sit between loads. Couple that with the fact that the area inside the gasket get’s no light, is damp, and cool, and you have a perfect breeding ground for mold spores to form and grow.

Manufactures of these washers suggest that you always leave the door slightly ajar to allow air in. The manufactures also sell small tablets that you are to use every two to three weeks to help clean the inside of the gasket. While doing these two things may help, they do not totally remove the mold or the odor.

Here is how to get rid of the odor: The inside of the gasket must be thoroughly cleaned using our EATOILS™ Super Fresh™ Certified Green Cleaning Solution. Mix at 4 ounces to a gallon of water and clean the inside of the gasket using a small soft bristled brush and a rag. First spray liberally inside the gasket with the diluted Super Fresh™ solution, then lightly scrub with the soft bristled brush, let sit about 10-15 minutes and then wipe with a damp rag. You will be amazed at the amount of Mold and Mildew that you will remove. After thoroughly cleaning, spray some more of the Super Fresh™ inside the whole circumference of the gasket and let air dry. At this point the Mold and Mildew will be killed and removed from the gasket along with the odor.

If you are unable to perform this cleaning task, please feel free to call us at Clean and Green Solutions, 281.883.8470, and we will be glad to send out a service tech to perform this for you at a nominal service charge.

Once you are done cleaning the gasket, you can spray any clothing or towels that may have absorbed the odor. Using your spray bottle, mist the clothing or towel items just until lightly damp and this will remove any residual odor. Remember the Super Carpet Fresh is Certified Green and will not harm you or your clothing. After treating the clothing or towels you may choose to launder again but this is not necessary.

To keep the Mold, Mildew, and Odor from returning spray some of the EATOILS™ Super Fresh™ diluted at 2 ounces per gallon of water inside the gasket every 1-2 weeks and continue to keep the door slightly open when the machine is not in use, per manufacture instructions.

Here is what one client wrote to us just yesterday, "Thanks Doug Rucker and "Clean and Green Solutions" for making my washer not so stinky! Your odor removal product ROCKS!!!! (and it's green...yea for me!)"
Mrs. C. Wheeler, Splendora, Tx.

EATOILS™ Super Fresh™ is an excellent cleaning product for kitchen, bathroom, tile and grout, carpeting, upholstery, clothing and fabric cleaning challenges. Super Fresh™ will also remove any odor on contact including SKUNK odor.

EATOILS™ Super Carpet Fresh™ Cleans Up Old Chocolate Milk Stain

Two weeks ago I received a phone call from a very good friend and client of Clean and Green Solutions, Julia Beckman. Julia had just lifted up her son’s (EJ) booster chair in the back seat of her mini van and discovered a month old chocolate milk stain. She called me and wanted to know if the Super Carpet Fresh™ would remove the stain. Julia has been buying the Super Carpet Fresh for quite some time now to use in her home for carpeting and tile and grout stains, and also to clean up after those unfortunate and untimely pet accidents.


I assured Julia that the EATOILS™ Super Carpet Fresh™ would remove the stain and odor, even to the point that she would never know that it was there.

I saw Julia at church about a week later and asked her how the Super Carpet Fresh did on the stain in her van and she replied, “Yes, it took it right out, you can’t even tell it was there.” This past weekend I sent her a message on Facebook asking her if I could use her name and write a little note about it. Here is her answer, copied and pasted directly from her reply: you may use my name!!! It was at least a month old chocolate milk underneath a car seat. Wiped up the crunchy stuff with a damp towel and then super carpet fresh the stain....it came right up! Sprayed a little while longer (to make sure it saturated underneath the fabric) and by the next day not one trace of the stain and no smell! Take an elaborate what you want!

As you can see she was quite happy with the results. EATOILS™ Super Carpet Fresh™ is absolutely the best carpet, tile and grout, fabric, and upholstery cleaner and deodorizer on the market today. Plus it is ELCOGO™ Certified GREEN, which means it contains ZERO harmful chemicals or ingredients.

Cleaning Grout Lines with EATOILS GREEN Cleaning Products




Cleaning grout lines can be a very difficult task, particularly when you consider all the material that is usually collected in grout 'valleys'. As Grout is typically a porous material like cement all sorts of oils, greases, and particles can get trapped in the grout and discolor it easily. Traditional floor & tile cleaners do a pretty good job on the floor surfaces but they have virtually no effect on the discolored grout and over time the grout lines fill with these materials and can become unsightly. Harsh chemicals and a lot of elbow grease have been the only answer for cleaning grout and the results have been inconsistent. Short of getting down on your knees and manually scrubbing the grout, usually with nasty chemicals, there has not been a real alternative for cleaning grout until now.

- note the original 'Champagne' grout

WorldWare Enterprises Ltd., manufacturer of EATOILS™ ECOLOGO™ Green Cleaning Products, has discovered that the deep cleaning characteristics that you are looking for in a grout cleaning product are already available for you to use in our SUPER CONCENTRATED GREEN CLEANING PRODUCTS - and it only takes a few minutes! These products include: BIOBLAST™, SUPERFRESH™, and SUPER FLOOR DEGREASER™. For best results on a small area: 1) spray the concentrated formula onto the groutlines to wet, 2) add approximately double the amount of water, 3) agitate with a soft bristle brush, and 4) watch months of buildup disappear in a few minutes. For larger areas: 1) mix the cleaning solution at 4 oz./ gallon of warm water and soak the floor with 1/2" of cleaning solution, 2) leave it in place for 20 minutes or so, then 3) brush with a straight broom, and 4) squeegee the entire floor - you'll see all kinds of contaminants removed with this method. For 'restaurant makeover' type clean-ups: you can use this method with a steam cleaner to bring back the original 'sparkling clean' grout - just like new! Naturally, if the quality of the grout has deteriorated and broken down over time, you should use these cleaning methods then follow up with grout repair (if you don't clean it first you will seal in the dirt and it will be impossible to bring back the original clean grout lines). Also, be aware of floor sealers as they typically seal in the dirt - strip the sealer before attempting to clean the grout and only seal the floor after all contaminants have been removed from the grout lines.

Grout cleaning can be a pain - but if you can use the methods and products offered by EATOILS™ you will find the process can be painless for you and the results will dramatically improve the look of your tiled areas.

Clean and Green Solutions is a proud distributor of EATOILS™ ECOLOGO™ Certified Green Cleaning products.  For more information on these products, please visit us at http://www.cleanandgreensolutions.com/ or give us call at 281.883.8470

CLEANING MEXICAN BRICK WITH EATOILS™ BT200™


















If you have ever had to clean a home that has Mexican Brick as its exterior siding, you know it can be very challenging to clean in a safe and efficient manner.  Mexican Brick is very soft and brittle, not to mention very porous.  When cleaning this type of brick one must be very careful and not apply to much pressure.  If to much pressure is applied, the brick can literally break in half.  To get Mexican Brick completely clean you must use a solution that can get into the pores of the brick to KILL and REMOVE the mold and mildew completely, so as to prevent immediate future growth.  Most chemicals that contain toxins or dangerous additives only clean the surface mold and mildew.  This leaves tiny spores behind in the pores of the brick that will just begin growing again immediately.

Clean and Green Solutions was called out to this home recently to clean all the mold and mildew from the brick.  The homeowner had received letters from the homeowners association and needed to get the home cleaned in order to be in compliant with the association guidelines.

Here is how we did it: Using the EATOILS™ BT200™ Certified GREEN degreaser we mixed the product at 5 ounces of EATOILS™ BT200™ to one gallon of water.  Using an X-JET applicator, we applied the diluted EATOILS™ BT200™ to the entire surface of all walls and allowed it to sit for 10 minutes.  We then repeated the application and allowed to it to sit for 20 minutes. We used a total of five gallons of diluted solutions, which required 25 ounces of EATOIILS™ BT200™.  An X-JET applicator is a nozzle for a Pressure Washer that allows the product to be applied directly to the surface with out being diluted any further.  Even though the EATOILS™ BT200™ is a degreaser, it is an excellent product for killing and removing mold and mildew on contact.

After allowing the EATOILS™ BT200™ to dwell for the times stated, we then used our pressure washer (3500PSI/6 GPM) to remove the mold and mildew stains. However, we used the chemical tip.  The chemical tip is normally used to apply solution or chemicals at a very low pressure.  This tip actually spray’s the water onto the surface with less pressure than a garden hose sprayer that is set on “jet” or “full stream”.  Using this tip meant that absolutely NO high pressure was used.

As you can see in the pictures above, the brick cleaned up perfectly with no damage to the brick whatsoever.  Once all areas were cleaned we then re-applied the EATOILS™ BT200™ and left it to dry with NO RINSING.  This will provide continuing ongoing cleaning and help to keep the brick cleaner for a longer period of time.

EATOILS™ BT200™ is a Super Concentrated Certified GREEN degreaser and all purpose cleaner.  Once diluted at 5 ounces per gallon, our end user product cost was less than $5.00.  Compared to the cost of other products that require dangerous chemicals to do the cleaning, and can damage the surface, the EATOILS™ BT200™ stands alone as the best and safest cleaner while at the same time the most economical available on the market today.

EATOILS™ BT200™ degreaser can also be used to remove oil and other automotive stains from concrete, asphalt and soil.  It also a great cleaner for canvas and fabric sunshades, umbrellas, tents, etc.  EATOILS™ BT200™ will also remove grease, tar, and oil, from clothing, drapes, carpeting, upholstery and just about any other surface. Plus, it is completely safe for you to use as well as for the environment.
