Spring sprang here in St. Petersburg early this year! Pollen has filled the air, and all of our sinuses as well. But that doesn’t hold us back from getting outdoors and enjoying the sunshine. It’s why we choose to live in this beautiful place, befittingly called “The Sunshine City,” after all. Now, with April showers bringing forth May’s flowers, the mix of spring pollen and wet weather makes for some slippery walkways and moldy siding. Good thing we have our very own local Sparkle Wash expert here to handle all of your outdoor cleaning needs! Enter Jack Walsh, owner and operator of Sparkle Wash Pinellas County for the past two years. Jack provides power washing and restoration services to commercial and residential properties in Pinellas County. Jack comes with top notch products and equipment backed by the Sparkle Wash franchise, circa 1965. “I love everything about living and working in St. Petersburg. I moved here at the age of seventeen in 2009 and I’m so excited to be celebrating ten awesome years in the states this summer! I am proud to call St. Petersburg my home.”

Care and expertise
St. Petersburg is known for its many historic residential districts and mature commercial buildings. Beautiful to see everyday but, tricky to maintain. In order to keep the integrity of many of these historic bungalows and craftsmans homes and businesses, it’s best to put this type of maintenance and care in the hands of adequately trained professionals. With Jack, you can rest easy knowing he is licensed, certified and insured to handle any and all of his clients’ needs.
Jack spends the majority of his time in places like Historic Old Northeast, Snell Isle and Historic Kenwood just to name a few. These properties require special care by an expert as well as carefully selected products to keep from causing damage during the cleaning process. All Sparkle Wash products are approved by the Environmental Protection Agency and thoroughly tested on a regular basis to ensure the best quality is provided to their clients. Jack will provide the proper cleaning agent and care for your specific need, no matter the issue, be it mold, pollen, moss, grease or fungi. “Each job is different and requires a different process as well as different equipment. This is not something you want to go into without a plan for the best possible outcome. After all, this your home or business at stake.” Now as a homeowner myself, that pretty much screams expert, reliable service to me!
Safety is key
When you think about commercial cleaning products, big safety concerns often come to mind. I have pets, I have children playing in my yard daily, and I just planted the most beautiful roses. Eek! My precious vegetable garden — how will all of this affect the environment?! These are questions that Jack encounters regularly. He is excited to educate his clients and extremely proud to answer their questions. Sparkle Wash strives to use just the right balance of product to job ratio. The products are safe, patented and pose no threat to your family, pets or foliage. “We don’t overuse chemicals like a lot of other pressure cleaning companies. Sure, they will get it clean but at the risk of killing nearby plant life and adding unnecessary chemicals into the environment, all the while increasing the risk of serious property damage.”
Save your money and your time
We all have a little DIY fever here and there. However, in this scenario I encourage you to leave the power washing chore to Jack! The personal cost of inefficient equipment that can’t hold up to the test of time, potentially dangerous store-bought chemicals, and all the time used to do the work, adds up fast! (Not to mention the cost of repairing mistakes made in the process. Yep, you guessed it: I’ve had my own fair share of DIY fails!) Roof cleaning, fence washing, walkway cleaning, siding maintenance…yikes! I believe I will choose to save my money and my time by leaving it to Jack and Sparkle Wash! I’d much rather spend my free time playing outside instead of cleaning it, wouldn’t you? In addition to all the money you will save, if you mention reading this feature and Green Bench Monthly, Jack will give you 10% off his services!
