How often you should have your house power washed really depends on the region you live in. Natural contaminants such as algae, mold and mildew can collect on vinyl, wood and aluminum siding as well as on brick and stucco. These circumstances can be more of a dilemma for a home that is shaded by trees; the shade permits moisture to be more present helping the contaminants to grow.

Other contaminants that can collect on your home’s exterior are bird droppings, bug fecal and spider webs. Some homes are more vulnerable to these pollutants than others. Again it really depends on your area, but receiving a house washing service followed by a bug treatment around the perimeter of your home can really help eradicate the bug pollutants and spider webs.

Those living in close proximity of a major highway or an airport will have exhaust emission pollutants collect on their homes in the form of gray to black grime.

The upside is all of these contaminants and pollutants can be removed by a professional exterior cleaning company to bring back your homes appearance. A good rule of thumb is to have your homes exterior cleaned every two years.
