Exterior surfaces constantly collect dust, dirt, pollen, organic growth, tire marks and other residue. Regular cleaning can dramatically improve curb appeal, but the right frequency depends on the property.
Rather than following an arbitrary calendar, look at condition. Driveways and walkways may need cleaning when traffic marks and dark buildup become noticeable. Patios may collect dirt and organic material. Siding can develop dust or growth depending on exposure, shade and moisture.
Choose the Right Cleaning Method
Just as important as when you clean is how you clean. Pressure washing is effective on many durable surfaces, particularly concrete and certain hardscape. But more pressure is not automatically better. Delicate siding, painted materials and other surfaces may require lower-pressure soft-washing methods and surface-appropriate cleaning solutions.
A professional should evaluate the surface before choosing the process. The goal is not simply to blast away dirt; it is to achieve a clean result without unnecessarily damaging the material.
Exterior Cleaning and Home Maintenance
For many homeowners, exterior cleaning also creates an opportunity to tackle related maintenance at the same time. Gutters, exterior windows, patios, walkways and other surfaces can often be evaluated during the same visit.
