Why Exterior Cleaning Matters

Your home’s outside takes a beating—rain, pollen, dirt, mildew. Over time, it builds up, and suddenly your siding looks kinda sad. Regular exterior house cleaning keeps things from getting out of hand. It also helps everything last longer.

What Needs Cleaning, Really?

Short answer: more than you think.

• Siding gets dusty and streaky

• Gutters collect grime

• Windows build up film

• Patios and decks? Always dirty

If you spot green patches, black streaks, or webs, it’s time.

How to Tackle It

Start with a rinse. A hose can go a long way. If that doesn’t cut it, try a long-handled brush with mild soap. For bigger jobs—like full siding—pressure washing or power washing helps, but only on safe surfaces.

Use low pressure for anything delicate. Vinyl, painted wood, and roof edges need care. Roof soft washing or softwash roof cleaning is the safer option up top.

What Not to Blast

Skip high pressure on:

• Roofs (use roof cleaning, the soft kind)

• Wood decks (gentle deck cleaning is better)

• Old paint

• Window trim

Quick Wrap-Up

Exterior house cleaning doesn’t need to be a whole event. Break it into sections. Do a little when you can. And if it’s been a while, it’s totally fine to call someone in. Just keep it simple and consistent.
