If you want to make a good first impression in front of visitors, your home’s exterior should look sparkling clean, and professional soft washing helps ensure that.
The general frequency of soft washing is at least 1-2 times a year for most homes. But this frequency can vary based on multiple factors that we’ll discuss in this blog.
Factors Affecting the Frequency of Soft Wash Your House
⇒ Type of Siding
There are many reasons why soft washing house siding is important, as the type of siding in your home affects the overall frequency of soft washing. Some sidings need more frequent washing than others, as they are more susceptible to damage and mold growth.
If you have vinyl, metal, or composite sidings, get them soft-washed at least once a year. But you have to observe wood sidings and only get them cleaned when they look dirty and grimy, as overwashing can damage wood sidings.
⇒ Presence of Mold and Algae
Mold and algal growth can impact the look of your home’s exterior and the overall aesthetic of your place. If you notice increased moss and fungal growth on your roof, sidings, and other areas, it may be time to get your home’s exterior soft-washed.
So, maintain a washing frequency of 2-3 times a year for homes prone to mold and algal growth to keep these contaminants away and protect the look of your home’s exterior.
⇒ Condition of Your Exterior
The dirtier your home’s exterior look, the more frequently you’ll need to get it cleaned. So, if your exterior gets dirty quickly due to various reasons, it’ll increase the number of times you’ll require professional cleaning.
To prevent this, you should wash the more susceptible areas of your exterior more often than others. It will protect these surfaces from excess damage and maintain their spotless look.
⇒ Local Climate
Your local climate also influences the soft washing frequency. For example, if you live in areas with frequent rains and storms, your home’s exterior will get damaged more often.
Similarly, wet and humid regions will have more mold and algal growth, requiring more attention. So, homeowners living in areas with severe weather conditions should increase the cleaning frequency and get professional softwashing 2-3 times a year.
⇒ Vegetation
If there are many trees and plants around your home, it could increase the number of times you should get your home softwashed. It’s because debris from the tree, like leaves, pollen, branches, and sap, can end up on your home’s exterior and affect the look.
So, homeowners with elaborate landscapes may have to invest in regular soft washing to protect the look of their home’s exterior and prevent lasting damage from tree debris.
⇒ Cleaning History
Apart from other factors, the history of your cleaning, that is, how frequently you get soft washing, is an important determining factor for the cleaning frequency. Homeowners who maintain a regular cleaning will need less frequent washing than those who don’t.
