Essential Cleaning Tips for Maryland Homeowners

Deck Cleaning, Gutter Guards, House Washing, Roof Cleaning

As fall arrives in Maryland, the beautiful red, orange, and yellow leaves will soon create a stunning view. But as these leaves pile up, they can cause serious problems for your home’s exterior. Many homeowners think raking leaves is enough, but what about your home’s siding, gutters, and driveways? Ignoring these areas can lead to more than just a messy yard. Here’s why cleaning your home’s exterior should be on your to-do list this fall and how most homeowners get it wrong.

Common Fall Cleaning Mistakes Homeowners Make

1. Thinking Fallen Leaves Are Harmless

Many homeowners think fallen leaves are just a small annoyance. But if left alone, these leaves can trap moisture on your siding, decks, and driveways. This dampness leads to mold, mildew, and algae, causing ugly stains and even damage over time. A quick sweep isn’t enough. A thorough pressure wash is needed to get rid of this build-up and keep your home looking its best.

2. Putting Off Gutter Cleaning Until It’s Too Late

Gutters are easy to forget about until there’s a problem. However, clogged gutters can cause serious damage to your home. When gutters overflow, water can damage your roof, walls, and even the foundation. Many homeowners don’t see the need for regular gutter cleaning until they face costly repairs. Don’t wait until spring to see water stains or cracks in your foundation—handle it now with a fall gutter clean-out.

3. Ignoring Driveways, Walkways, and Patios

Driveways, walkways, and patios are often skipped in fall cleaning. Leaves and debris left to rot on these surfaces can leave stains that are hard to clean. Worse, they can create slippery spots that increase the risk of falls. Regular pressure washing not only keeps these areas looking good but also safe for everyone.

Why Regular Exterior Cleaning is Important
By skipping regular exterior cleaning, many homeowners unknowingly cause more problems. Mold, mildew, and algae love damp areas, and your home’s exterior is the perfect place for them to grow. Over time, this can lead to health issues for your family, make your home look old and dirty, and lower your property value. Plus, the longer you wait, the harder (and more expensive) it is to clean.

Tips & Tricks to Power Wash Like a Pro!

When it comes to power washing, mastering the techniques can make a significant difference in the results you achieve. Understanding how to use power washing equipment effectively and efficiently is key to getting that professional finish.

To power wash like a pro, remember to start with the right equipment and adjust the pressure settings according to the surface you are cleaning. Always follow recommended cleaning tips and techniques to avoid damaging any surfaces or causing injury.

Concrete & asphalt require more pressure.
Wood decks & painted surfaces require a gentle pressure. We recommend getting at least 12 to 15 inches away from the surface, spraying in even strokes in the exact direction of the wood grain.
Do not take pressure to vinyl siding, this will cause damage, instead use a soft washing method or call a professional.

While there are numerous power wash cleaning hacks out there, it’s important to distinguish between what works effectively and what could potentially harm surfaces. Knowing the do’s and don’ts of power washing can save you time, money, and frustration in the long run.

DO – Prep before you begin cleaning. Cover garden plants and shrubs. Remove all furniture, garden decorations, door mats etc. Note the location of windows and electrical boxes.
DON’T – Underestimate the power of the power washer.
DO – Work in a pattern. We recommend left to right, top to bottom.
DON’T – Use only one nozzle tip for every job. Each nozzle tip sprays differently.

When it comes to exterior cleaning, having expert tricks up your sleeve can make all the difference.

Soft Wash vs Pressure Wash

Deck Cleaning, FAQ

Here’s a project we had in Ellicott City, Maryland doing a roof to road package. Roof to road means getting the whole exterior of your property cleaned up from all the nasty green, all the algae on all surfaces. We finished soft washing the roof and soft washing the patios prior to cleaning the fence.

This particular property had a huge wooden fence that goes all the way around the property. This fence hasn’t been stained or cleaned in at least 15 years. So naturally it looked old, gray and very much fainted. We are prepping the fence to be stained once everything is dry. We call this a restoration project! We plan to put a nice semi transparent, natural tone on the fence.

We get asked all the time – are you going to soft wash or pressure wash my fence? Well, it all depends on the outcome of the project. For instance, we will be sealing this fence so we will be pressure washing it to remove all of the organic growth, oxidation and bacteria. Ensuring the surface is cleaned and free of growth is important because it ensures the stain adhering properly to the surface, which in return helps your fence last longer. If we were to soft wash this fence we would have to use more soap, which equates to more chemicals, and could really dry out this wood. We don’t usually soft wash wood in general, however, it is an application method that can be used.

The process we are taking today is a three step process. 1. Apply soap, 2. Go over with a mild pressure and rinse everything, 3. Come back and apply a brightener, that brightener is going to bring the pH level of the wood back to 7 so it’s susceptible to take stain that way we know everything is prepared properly for when we come back to do the staining. It’s also going to brighten the wood. If you see now it’s old, gray and very faded. We are going to brighten this fence up.

If you have an outdoor space that could use some cleaning, give us a call to discuss your project. Our family is here to help!

Deck and Fence Cleaning is our specialty!

We begin by applying a biodegradable, anti-fungal brightener to kill the mold, mildew, and algae on the decking boards, railings, steps or fencing.

Then we pressure wash your deck / fence back to the wood’s natural beauty. We can also pressure wash composite decking materials like Trex to remove dirt and mold.
