Maple 4 arrived in Minot, ND for our last project of the year. We are doing disaster relief for a flood that happened in June 2011. One of the biggest jobs we have had to do is power wash homeowners’ houses to get all of the dirty water and mold off of their walls and ceilings.

We were trained how to power wash by AmeriCorps NCCC alum Nick. He works for Nechama now, so he was in charge of power washing in Minot. We did a good job power washing all those homes and the homeowners really love what we’ve done.
Nick told us about a four-step process to sanitize these homes:
1. You power wash everything. When you do this step, you go top to bottom and you need to stay 3 to 5 inches away from the wood. If you are too close, you are going to chip wood off, and too far not clean enough. This step is supposed to remove 99% of the mold in the house.
2. You wash the wood with Simple Green. It’s a mild detergent. We use this to get rid of the 1% the first power wash misses.
3. You rinse off the Simple Green.
4. You bleach the wood. The bleach is used just to make sure that the mold doesn’t come back.

Power washing is a lot of fun to do. You really get things done with the power washer. When our newest site supervisor came to Minot, he described a new nozzle. It’s stronger than the ones we were using and is helpful to our team. We were doing one house in two days with the old nozzle, but now we can do two houses in one day.
