Ever wonder where the term “Spring Cleaning” came from? How is it that spring has such great PR for cleaning? It makes sense when you think about it. After all, that’s when everyone is cleaning up from winter. But let’s go on a journey here. In the next few minutes, you will see why fall is actually the best time for power washing. The grime from summer is still at its peak, and if you leave it as is, the winter will add a layer of ice locking every gunk in place. Power washing during the fall isn’t about curb appeal; it’s about taking practical steps to protect your siding, deck, and driveway all through winter.
Summer Leaves Behind More Than Just Memories
All through the summer the exterior of your property collects pollen, dust, grease from your barbeque parties, bug splatter and algae from all the humidity. When you look across to your neighbors from your own front porch, it doesn’t look too bad. There’s a kind of uniformity. But this buildup traps moisture, encourages mold and eats away at paint & wood as time passes. In the fall, it’s all still soft and would easily rinse off. If you wait till spring then youd have let that grime harden with an additional layer of winter salt stain residue.
The Weather Actually Works in Your Favor
Fall is perfect for power washing. Think of it like Goldilocks. It’s not too hot and not too cold. Do your power washing in the summer, the water evaporates too fast in the heat. Instead of a clean job, you’d have to contend with streaks and mineral deposits. The winter is the converse, the water freezes on impact. What you have are safety hazards. Now if you power clean in the fall, you work with temperatures at around 40͒F. Surfaces have enough time to dry without risking weather induced damage. And then you have the fact that in fall, there’s less rain to contend with unlike in spring.
Get Ahead of Winter Damage
Before winter, you deal with damage such as mold, mildew and algae. These cause your decks and walkways to be slippery and ugly. When the frost of winter hits they become doubly dangerous. Power washing now takes care of these hazards before the first chills of winter come in.
Prep for Holiday Guests
Winter is coming, which means so are guests and photographs will be taken. They will NOT be forgotten EVER. You don’t want your front porch looking grimy when your friends and family show up for the holidays do you? With a quick power wash, you give your siding, brick and driveways a refreshed look. This is as cheap as you can get anywhere to pay for a boost in your curb appeal. Now you can take front door selfies with confidence.
