How House Washing Helps Homes Stay Healthy

Nothing makes us happier than seeing our clients' smiles after we've completed a job well done, and our house washing often elicits the strongest reactions for clients. People don't realize just how dramatic of a change house washing can make on their home's appearance until they see it in real life. It's like making a home look brand-new all over again.

But with house washing, beauty is more than just skin deep. While the major boost to their home's appearance is enough for many people, house washing does more than just that. It can help maintain a healthier environment for both the home itself and the family living inside. Here's how.

House Washing Helps Your Home Stand Strong

Our homes are in a constant battle with Mother Nature, and in a vacuum, nature is usually the winning contender. That's why abandoned properties usually go downhill so fast- with no one to maintain them, they become more and more susceptible to environmental damage, and eventually, their condition goes into a freefall.

We're all used to the typical substances and stains that sully our sidings. Invasive microorganisms like algae and mildew, splattery messes like red clay stains and bird droppings, and even other environmental pollutants like soot and smog- they all are detrimental to visual appeal, yes, but they're structurally harmful as well. Many of these substances actively rot materials or have caustic effects. If unwashed, they can ruin the appearance and integrity of your home's exterior, and in extreme cases, that damage can spread inward.

That's why house washing is so important for maintaining a healthy home. You're not just leaving your home to the mercy of the elements- by pressure washing away the harmful stains and build-up, you're ensuring your home's exterior stays healthy even in the toughest conditions. Besides, you'll be less likely to deal with costly repairs fixing damaged surfaces- and that's a healthy choice for your budget too.

House Washing Improves Hygiene, Too!

Did you know that the outside of your home may be harboring tons of allergens and pathogens?

Pollen can collect in nooks and crannies in your walls, mold and mildew can grow in moist, shaded areas- even your garbage bins and the place you keep them in can harbor billions of dangerous bacteria. These allergens and bacteria can permeate the air around your home and even work their way inside, causing issues for your air quality and contributing to allergies and other reactions.

You frequently clean the inside of your home and regularly sanitize bacteria-prone areas like your kitchen and bathroom. Don't neglect to do that for the outside of your home as well! House washing uses low-PSI pressure washing (aka soft washing) to spray down your sidings with eco-safe anti-microbial, anti-fungal detergents.

Not only do these detergents break down stains, but they also kill bacteria, mold, and other harmful organisms. The gentle pressure is enough to dislodge stuck particles, and when we wash away stains, we also wash away the substances that can have a negative impact on your health!
