Wondering what else you should think about when it comes to power washing your property? Let’s have a look.
Washing at Other Times of the Year
You should break the spring or summer rule in the following cases:
You can’t remember the last time you had a professional power wash.
Mold or algae is growing on any exterior surface.
You’re about to renovate or sell your home.
You’ve been through one winter since you last power-washed your property.
The Perfect Weather for Power Washing
The best temperature for pressure cleaning is between 50° F and 80° F. Anything lower than that might mean that the water freezes as it touches your property and cause damage. At temperatures higher than that, the water evaporates too fast, leaving soap rings.
Contrary to popular belief, washing on a cloudy day is better because there are fewer shadows. Some professionals prefer washing when it’s drizzling because the water doesn’t evaporate quickly. That said, they’ll never get up there if there’s lightning, heavy rain, or a major storm.
What Is the Best Time of Day?
We can clean the surfaces at any time of the day, from sunrise to sunset. High noon is the best time because there are very few shadows. However, every time of day has unique challenges. A very sunny setting also means there’s a lot of glare.
It’s also worth considering the temperature differential throughout the day. This becomes especially important in the depth of winter and the height of summer.
Ask a Professional
To be fair, finding the perfect time for power washing can prove tricky, as there are many variables. Calculating the ROI of power washing adds another layer of complexity. However, hiring professional power washing services makes these considerations somewhat moot. We can work in almost any conditions at any time of the year and still deliver the results you expect.
If, for any reason, the weather is dodgy when we arrive, we give it a little while to see if it clears. If not, we reschedule.
