Why Soft Washing and Pressure Washing Should Be Part of Your Fall Maintenance

Now that fall is here, it’s time to prepare for colder weather. Leaves are dropping, temperatures are cooling, and everyone is spending more time inside. Everyone remembers obvious tasks like raking leaves and cleaning gutters, but many people forget the importance of soft washing and pressure washing. These services help keep your property safe and looking its best, especially before the colder months set in. Why should you have soft washing and pressure washing on your fall maintenance list?

 

Stop Mold and Mildew Growth

Fall is known for cooler and damper weather. While this can make a trip to the pumpkin patch comfortable, cool weather and moisture also promote the growth of mold, mildew, and algae. Mold and algae often accumulate on hard surfaces outside of your house, like the roofing and siding. This takes away from your property's curb appeal and poses potential health risks, as mold can trigger allergies and respiratory issues.

Soft washing and pressure washing are highly effective at removing mold and algae. Soft washing can give particularly great results on parts of your house that are more sensitive, like the roof. We use lower pressures combined with eco-friendly cleaning solutions to gently clean the exterior surfaces of your home without causing damage. Incorporating soft washing into your fall maintenance plan can significantly reduce the risk of mold and mildew growth.

 

Prepare Your Property for Winter

Fall is a good time to prepare your property before freezing temperatures and snowstorms are in the forecast. Pressure washing your driveways, walkways, and patios can get rid of dirt, grime, oil stains, and other contaminants that can freeze during winter, making surfaces slippery and hazardous. Scheduling professional power washing and soft washing in the fall will help ensure safer walkways and driveways when ice and snow arrive later in the year.

Soft washing and pressure washing your home’s exterior also helps prevent long-term damage that can worsen during the winter. Debris like leaves, twigs, and moss can trap moisture. When you add freezing temperatures into the equation, this can lead to cracking, warping, and other structural issues. Professional soft washing removes these materials so that your roof and siding remain clean and in good condition all winter long.



 

Get the Most Out of Your Exterior Surfaces

If not removed in a timely fashion, contaminants like dirt, algae, and moss can permanently damage your home’s exterior surfaces. Algae, for example, can erode roof shingles so that you need to replace them prematurely. Additionally, mold can trap moisture and cause wood to rot. Even grime and oil that are built up on hard surfaces like driveways and patios can wear the materials down and lead to cracks and other structural issues.

Scheduling soft washing and pressure washing from the professionals at Shine Select can help extend the lifespan of your exterior surfaces. Soft washing protects more delicate materials from damage, while pressure washing is ideal for tougher, more resilient surfaces. By adding soft washing and pressure washing to your fall maintenance routine, you can avoid expensive repairs down the line.
