5 tips to keep your home's exterior clean

It’s important to keep your home’s exterior clean for aesthetic reasons, but above all to keep the structure in good condition for as long as possible, and to preserve your health. Here are a few practical tips you might find useful.

1- Regularly clean the roof

The accumulation of leaves and other debris on the roof can lead to clogged eavestroughs over time. Clogged gutters, in turn, can cause varying degrees of damage, such as water damage to the foundation.

In winter, excessive snow accumulation on the roof can also be the cause of numerous problems, such as water infiltration, roof subsidence, or even collapse in the most serious cases. For this reason, it is essential to regularly remove any dirt that may accumulate in this area, and to clear the snow at the right time during the summer months.

2- Cleaning eavestroughs

A lot of dirt, such as fallen leaves and animal debris, can accumulate in gutters, especially in autumn, and clog them. However, this obstruction can cause varying degrees of damage.

These can include water damage, dampness, mould or fungus growth inside the gutters and weakening of the gutters, or even the appearance of foul odours in the surrounding area. Gutters need to be cleaned regularly to keep the outside of the house clean.

3- Washing windows

Dust, rain, snow and pollution make windows dirty and prevent natural light from penetrating optimally into your home. That’s why it’s essential to clean them regularly. To do this, you can use soap and water, or opt for pressure washing.

4- Clean up the yard

Dirt and grime outside, or an unkempt garden, not only detract from the aesthetics of your property, but also attract pests such as rodents, mosquitoes and ants, which can be the cause of many illnesses and material damage. That’s why it’s important to clean the yard regularly. Remove weeds, maintain your lawn and plants, rake leaves and sweep walkways daily.

5- Clean the facade

The dirt that accumulates on exterior walls not only changes the color of the facade over time, but also leads to the formation of mold and mildew, which can weaken the structure. It is therefore strongly recommended that the facade be high-pressure cleaned once a year to get rid of it, condition permitting.
