Description:
Citra-Shield offers an eco-friendly approach to property cleaning and protection, standing apart from traditional pressure washing. Their unique, no-rinse formula leverages natural processes, using over 90% less water while delivering a long-lasting clean. This guide details what to expect during a service visit, from arrival to long-term results.
The process begins with an arrival and walkthrough, where the crew reviews the treatment plan and confirms access routes. Following this, the Citra-Shield solution is applied using low-pressure units to designated surfaces such as sidewalks and common areas. Treated areas will remain wet immediately after application, with safety cones and signage ensuring pedestrian safety. Drying time varies based on weather and surface type. After the service, a crew sign-off completes the visit.
During application, standard traffic cones and "Stay Off Wet Surface" signs are used in all active treatment zones. Coordination with residents is recommended for alternative routes. After application, surfaces may temporarily appear orange, tea-colored, or amber. This is a natural result of the active organic compounds reacting with algae and surface residue, and it is not a stain that will remain. The coloration fades as the product works through rain and humidity cycles. Citra-Shield penetrates the treated surface, breaking down algae at the root level, which eliminates the biological source of regrowth. Rain, irrigation, dew, and ambient humidity reactivate the product over time. Full results typically take 6-12 weeks, depending on factors like algae severity, location, climate, and surface type.
