Taking care of your home includes making sure the exterior is free from debris and looks clean from street view. From the windows to the siding and everything in between, the various materials that need to be washed require special cleaning techniques and methods to prevent damaging your home in the process.
In this blog, we will be going over some of the most common exterior house washing mistakes you can make and how to avoid them.
- Pressure washing siding – Regardless of the type of siding your home has, pressure washing the material is never a good idea. Doing so can cause damage and push water into places that shouldn’t get wet. Instead, opting for a soft washing service can get the job done without the risk.
- Not protecting surrounding structures – Cleaning the siding on your home requires protecting the other parts of your home that you don’t want to be included in the cleaning process, like your landscaping. Anytime you’re using water and chemicals, you should do a thorough walk around the perimeter of your house and cover up any structures that could be damaged during the washing process. If you hire us for house washing, we will help you with this process, including protecting your plants.
- Not hiring a professional – You might think you can rent a cleaning machine and do the job yourself, but you might do more harm than good. Proper exterior house washing requires technique, skill, and vigilance to ensure the job is done correctly without causing issues to the surrounding material.
