Post-rinse

TL;DR

A post-rinse is the final freshwater pass at the end of a pressure- or soft-washing job that flushes residual detergent and bleach from siding, windows, plants, and hard surfaces before the chemicals can dry. On house washes it works top-down to prevent streaking, with extra volume on landscaping that caught overspray.

What it means

A post-rinse is the final freshwater pass at the end of a pressure- or soft-washing job that flushes residual detergent and bleach from siding, windows, plants, and hard surfaces before the chemicals can dry. On house washes it works top-down to prevent streaking, with extra volume on landscaping that caught overspray. Glass gets particular attention because dried sodium hypochlorite leaves spotting that is mistaken for etched damage.
