7 Best Practices for Exterior House Washing

Updated: Nov 4, 2024

When it comes to maintaining the beauty and integrity of your home, exterior house washing is a crucial aspect often overlooked. A clean exterior not only enhances curb appeal but also protects your property from environmental elements.


Here are seven principles I strictly follow to ensure impeccable results for every client:



1. Soft Washing: Unlike abrasive high-pressure washing methods that can damage delicate surfaces, I employ the gentle yet highly effective soft wash technique. This method utilizes low-pressure water combined with eco-friendly cleaning solutions to gently lift dirt, grime, and mold without harming exterior surfaces.


2. Customized Approach: Every house is unique, with its own set of cleaning challenges. I tailor my approach to suit the specific needs of each property.  Whether it's vinyl siding, brick, stucco, or wood, I employ the appropriate techniques and solutions to deliver optimal results without causing damage.


3. Gentile Cleaning Solutions: I use highly diluted solutions of sodium hypochlorite bleach and/or sodium percarbonate bleach, opting for gentle formulas that prioritize surface and environmental safety.  These solutions ensure their efficacy while minimizing the risk of damage to exterior surfaces. By using such diluted solutions, I can effectively clean the exterior of houses without causing harm to your home or its surroundings.


4. Thorough Inspection: Before commencing any work, I conduct a comprehensive inspection of the property to identify problem areas such as mold, mildew, algae, or stubborn stains. This allows me to develop a targeted cleaning plan and ensures no detail is overlooked during the washing process.


5. Protection of Surrounding Areas: Exterior house washing isn't just about cleaning the house itself—it's also about safeguarding surrounding areas such as landscaping and outdoor furniture. I take extra precautions to protect these features, utilizing techniques such as pre-wetting and covering sensitive areas to prevent damage.


6. Attention to Safety: Safety is non-negotiable in my line of work. From using proper personal protective equipment to adhering to industry safety standards, I prioritize the well-being of both my team and your property throughout the cleaning process. Additionally, I take care to minimize any potential risks to pets and bystanders.


7. Post-Cleaning Inspection: Once the job is complete, I conduct a thorough post-cleaning inspection to ensure every inch of your home's exterior meets my high standards of cleanliness. I encourage clients to inspect the results themselves and provide feedback, ensuring complete satisfaction with the service provided.
