Even if you maintain the interior of your home meticulously, the exterior inevitably accumulates dust, dirt, pollen, and other debris over time. Thankfully, periodic power washing can remove such buildup, leaving your property the envy of the neighborhood. If you’ve never worked with a contractor before, here's what you should know about the process.

3 Facts About Power Washing

1. It’s Versatile

Power washing can clean all kinds of siding, including vinyl, brick, stucco, wood, and aluminum. It can also clean both concrete and asphalt that isn't crumbling. This includes driveways, walkways, and patios. Also, the process is safe on windows, tiles, and secured cobblestones. In other words, you can use it to clean most—if not all—of your landscaping elements.

2. It’s Eco-Friendly

Professional power washers have an obligation to the environment. As such, they don’t use solutions that can harm the flora or fauna in the area. Most projects simply call for water. When it comes to getting out especially stubborn stains, however, the solution they use won't hurt your plants or pets in any way.

3. It Has Health Benefits

Eliminating mold, mildew, and algae from around your property protects the health of the whole family. The longer mold goes untreated, the more harm it can cause, and the farther its spores can spread. Should they end up inside your home, the subsequent infestation could threaten the respiratory health of your loved ones.
