Is the exterior of your home starting to look dim and dingy? Don’t grab the pressure washer. Exterior house cleaning can give your home a fresh look and create a healthier living environment, but there are a few things you should know before going at it yourself.

Exterior House Cleaning 101

Skip the Pressure Washer

While you might be tempted to grab the pressure washer and watch algae and mold strip away from your house exterior, you may wind up damaging your home by doing so. Pressure washing uses an extremely powerful jet of water to blast away impurities from your home’s surfaces. But too much pressure can damage your house exterior, flaking away more delicate building materials and trapping excess water, creating optimal conditions for mold growth.

Soft Washing

Soft washing, on the other hand, is a much safer option for exterior house cleaning. Because it uses a much gentler stream of water and a cleaning solution, soft washing leaves your house’s exterior intact while discouraging the return of algae and mold growth, giving you a clean that lasts longer.
