I Am Wanting To Borrow a Pressure Washing Unit

Some time ago my Mom and Dad bought a pressure washer. I have thought many times about how much I would like to borrow it to clean this and that. I am not sure that it has even been used by my Mom or my Dad. I was not really aware that they had one until it was time to move them. My husband has been wanting to use it for pressure washing our siding.

There are some areas of the house that are obviously dirty. So I agree that the house needs a pressure washing. I think that if there are areas that are obviously dirty, then I wonder how dirty the house really is. I wonder if the house is really gray, or if it was white at one time. I guess we will not know until the pressure washing is done. Then there is using a pressure washer to clean the car and the van.

The van mostly, it just takes so long, it would be nice to get it done quickly and really get the wheels clean. No matter how I try, the black just will not come off the wheels. It would be nice to use on the concrete patio in the back also. I sweep it and hose it off, but it would look better after pressure washing.

Should You Hire a House Cleaning Contractor?

Cleaning the exterior of your own home can be a difficult task. Without the proper equipment and house cleaning chemicals it can be impossible to reach the high areas of the peaks and dormers. Many homeowners attempt to clean their home and just skip these higher areas that they cannot reach. Though they are hard to see anyway, it is still not a wise idea to skip over these areas when cleaning the house.

The higher areas are normally where the attic vents and vented soffits are located. They are designed to allow for air movement so the roof can breathe. It is this air flow that helps to create mold and mildew on the siding outside of these vented areas. Mold and mildew can enter into the home through these vents and even open windows. As most know, mold and mildew can cause serious health issues.

Hitting these high vented areas of the home with the proper cleaners is important to kill and remove these harmful contaminants. These pollutants can also rot and decay the building materials that make up your home. Neglecting to wash your entire house can cause costly future repairs and replacements.

If you are not comfortable with cleaning these areas of your home, you might consider hiring a professional house cleaning contractor to do the job for you. It is too important to just ignore or neglect your entire home’s exterior, especially the higher areas of the house.

Roof Algae Report

Can you really clean a shingle roof? The major shingle manufacturers say the answer is yes. Asphalt shingles suffering from a type of airborne algae called Gloeocapsa Magma can be cleaned to restore the roof’s appearance. This alga appears as black stains or streaks on your roof. Roof Algae normally first appears on the north facing slopes of the roof where the prevailing amount of shade and moisture are present. The algae lands on the roof and feeds on nutrients in the shingles, as it rains the algae is spread down the roof causing the black streaks.

This condition will deteriorate the roof prematurely by not letting the shingles reflect heat like they need to. The good news is this alga can be killed and removed by using methods recommended by the shingle manufacturers without causing damage to the shingles. Having your algae covered roof cleaned, while the shingles are still in good shape, is a great way to save yourself the cost of a total roof replacement by insuring you get the full life out of your roof.
