Top 5 benefits to having your home's exterior washed by a pro!


Benefits to having your home’s exterior washed

  1. Health- Do you feel like your home is making you unwell? Mold, algae, and mildew can grow on the exterior of your home, having it cleaned and disinfected annually will keep the growth to a minimum.
  2. Safety- Mold and mildew grow on the surface and deep in the pores of concrete. If not properly maintained; driveways, walkways, and wood can become slippery when wet.  
  3. Curb Appeal- Not only do you and your family benefit from a clean home, it can also increase the value of your neighborhood. Algae, lichen, and fungus can spread from one roof in your neighborhood to another.
  4. Preventive Maintenance- Protect your investment! Everything around your home has a shelf life; proper maintenance will prolong its life. Wood decks, roofs, and siding are just a few examples of areas that can last longer if the manufactures cleaning recommendations are followed.
  5. Leave it to PRO- No two cleaning projects are the same, different types of siding call for different cleaning methods. A well trained contractor will have professional equipment and proper training to determine the best cleaning method for the task at hand.

Are the chemicals used in Soft Washing Safe?






In the hands of a properly trained contractor, YES! No two surfaces or contaminates are the same, therefore, there is not one soap to wash it all. A well trained contractor can determine what type and strength of soap is needed. We here at Hot Water Pressure Washing & Soft Wash | Tallahassee, FL mix our own proprietary blend of soaps specifically for the project at hand.  

Have you noticed small, black dots on your homes siding? It could be Artillery fungus!




Have you noticed small, black dots on your homes siding? It could be Artillery fungus!
In the last few months I have found numerous homes and business in the Tallahassee area with artillery fungus infestations during my inspections.

The artillery fungus is a wood-decay fungus that likes to live on moist mulch. The spores of the genus Sphaerobolus commonly known as the "artillery fungus" species discharge their spores with explosive force and will attach themselves to siding, automobiles, or any light colored surface. The small black spores are very hard to remove once they have attached themselves to a surface and can cause permanent damage. In most cases, the mulch that was laid around the home was already contaminated with this fungus before it was put in. 

If artillery spores are noticed on siding or even your car, there could be contaminated mulch nearby that would need to be discarded and replaced to prevent further spore damage to your home/car.
