Home Owner House Washing Tips

How often should you have your house power washed? Well it really depends on the region you live in. Natural contaminants such as mold, algae and mildew can collect on vinyl, wood and aluminum siding as well as on stucco and brick. These circumstances can be more of a dilemma for a home that is sheltered by trees; the dimness permits humidity to be more present helping the contaminants to grow. Other contaminants that can accumulate on your home’s exterior are bird droppings, bug fecal and spider webs. Some homes are more vulnerable to these impurities than others. Again it really depends on your area, but receiving a house washing service trailed by a bug treatment around the perimeter of your home can really help eradicate the bug pollutants and spider webs. Those living in close proximity of a major highway or an airport will have exhaust emission pollutants collect on their homes in the appearance of gray to black grime. The positive aspect is all of these contaminants and pollutants can be removed by a professional exterior cleaning company to bring back your homes appearance. A good rule of thumb is to have your homes exterior cleaned every couple of years.
