The frequency of exterior cleaning depends on many factors. The climate where you live can play a big part in how dirty your house gets over time. If you live in a damp environment, you may find your house needs washed more often to remove mold and algae, whereas in drier climates, you may need dust and dirt removed. The weather can play a role, as well as pollution. In an area that has a lot of rain, you may see more algae appear. If your house sits on a busy road, you may find accumulations of what we refer to as “road dust”. With all these factors considered, it can be difficult to know how often to wash the exterior of your home.
So how do you know when is the right time to have your house power washed? A good power washing maintenance schedule should be set to once a year or once every 6 months. Many factors play a part, but we generally recommend at least once per year to maintain the appearance and condition your siding, soffits, facia and gutters.
Here are a few other reasons, outside of a normal maintenance schedule, when it is crucial to have your home washed:
- If you are moving.
Power washing will make your home appear clean and presentable. It will help with curb appeal and may even help get you a better offer! - Before exterior projects.
Paints and stain adhere to a clean, dry surface better than a dirty one, and will look better if the surface is clean prior to coating. - If you have asthma or other respiratory illnesses.
Mold and mildew can be dangerous to those with respiratory issues, so a clean home is a great step to help keep your environment free of airborne contaminants.
