We are right in the thick of the spring season, and many of you are probably also in the thick of your spring cleaning list. This is a time when people focus on those tasks inside that don’t get much attention any other time of the year. There are areas outside your home that could greatly benefit from a little TLC and the exterior of your home is one of them. L.W. Winslow Painting, Inc. is here to talk about the benefits of having your house power washed.
Remove the Dirt & Debris from the Exterior of Your Home
The exterior of your home takes quite the beating throughout the year. This is why it needs a good cleaning at least once a year. Throughout the different seasons, the weather causes dirt and debris to accumulate on the outside of your home. It happens so gradually you may not even notice it until you have it removed. This dirt and debris can cause damage to your home if left there for long periods of time. When you have your home power washed, you don’t have to worry about climbing up on a ladder and cleaning small sections at a time. Your entire house can be cleaned in a very short period of time.
How Frequently Should You Power Wash Your House?
You may be wondering how often you should power wash your home. That’s a tricky question because it depends heavily on the climate and environment in which you live. In places that receive a lot of moisture and humidity, you need to be concerned with mold and mildew accumulation. Some contributing factors include:
- Heavy Storms
- Thick Vegetation
- Humidity
- Acid Rain
- Excessive Sunlight
- Living Near Industrial Sites
Is it Better to Power Wash in the Spring?
For many reasons, the best time to power wash your home seems to be in the spring. You would never want to do it in the winter for obvious reasons being freezing temperatures. Power washing in the fall season isn’t ideal because of the leaves that are falling at that time. Leaves are one of the biggest issues when it comes to the exterior of your home. When they stick to the outside of your home, leave behind unsightly stains and grime. In the spring season, you have mild temperatures compared to that of summer, which makes it the ideal time to have your home deep cleaned.
Sometimes the Problem is Beyond a Deep Cleaning
If your home looks like it needs a good cleaning, but that doesn’t seem to do the trick, you may need to replace the siding or paint the exterior of your home. If the paint is chipping and peeling away from the siding, or your siding has noticeable physical damage, the problem is probably beyond a deep cleaning.
