There isn’t much you can do to prevent the outside elements from depositing onto the siding of your home, but you can turn to a home exterior cleaning service to wash away any contaminants. Over time, moss, insect residue, and even mold can make their way onto your siding, drastically decreasing your home’s overall curb appeal and even damaging this important exterior surface of your home. Siding pressure washing services are common, but is this really the best option for you?
The truth is traditional pressure washing is actually dangerous for your home. Siding pressure washing blasts pressurized water onto your siding. While this can blast away filth (though not at its root most of the time), it also weakens your siding. Most building materials around your property can’t handle the high psi of pressure washing. If you turn to pressure washing to handle the filth on your home’s siding, you may encounter holes, small dents, and other damages shortly after.
Damaged siding allows pests easier access into your home. It also makes it easier for water to seep into your home’s structure and cause water damage, including wood rot and mold growth. So if siding pressure washing can lead to these issues, what should you turn to for keeping your siding clean?
The answer is soft washing, a highly effective alternative to pressure washing that washes away contaminants without wearing down your siding and other home exterior surfaces. Soft washing is gentle on outdoor surfaces but tough on filth, using a special cleaning solution to target mold, moss, and other contaminants at their source. This leads to a longer-lasting and more thorough cleaning job than pressure washing can provide.
