The exterior of your home, i.e. the facade, should be cleaned at least once a year. For this, we strongly advise you to call on a professional who has mastered the techniques required to preserve your structure while delivering a satisfactory finish.
Why do you need to clean your home’s siding regularly?
There are 2 main reasons why you should regularly clean your home’s siding:
- Aesthetics;
- Durability of the structure.
Cleaning the front of the house for aesthetic reasons
Dirt, dust, grease stains and even traces of pollution accumulate on a house’s exterior siding over time. While this is perfectly normal, it does detract from the aesthetic appearance of the facade, making it look dull and dirty. They can even change its color.
It then needs to be cleaned to restore its original appearance and cleanliness. This is all the more important if the building is commercial or institutional, as cleanliness reassures customers and encourages them to enter.
Cleaning the front of the house to ensure the structure’s durability
The exterior cladding of a house, or any other building, is exposed to the elements all year round, which can lead to mold growth on the structure. However, these can deteriorate building materials over time, causing varying degrees of damage and sometimes costly repairs.
Regular cleaning of the facade is therefore essential to get rid of mould, which can be devastating, and thus ensure greater durability of the structure.
How do I clean a house’s siding?
There are several ways to clean a home’s exterior siding:
- Stain-removing salt with active oxygen ;
- Homemade recipes using bleach or baking soda;
- High-pressure cleaning and much more.
However, high-pressure washing is still the most effective and least dangerous, provided that the pressure applied is appropriate for the type of material making up the house facade and that the structure is still in good condition.
That’s why we strongly recommend that you entrust this task to a professional. Following a thorough inspection of the wall, he can determine the pressure to be applied for effective, safe cleaning.
