The exterior of your home is your guests first impression. If you have cobwebs hanging from your outdoor light fixtures, bug debris stuck to your siding, and dirt or grime along your home’s exterior, these are signs that it’s time to have it cleaned. You, your friends, and family will enjoy walking up and into a clean home.
Mold and mildew build up on the outside of your home gradually, so they are easy to overlook. Mildew is actually mold in its early stages, and mold spores over time damage whatever they’re growing on. They can damage the surface layer of your home, and even eat away organic surfaces like wood. And sometimes they can work their way into your home from the outside, into places like attics.
Cleaning your home’s exterior on a regular basis, before it gets too dirty, can save you money for two reasons. First, if you don’t clean your home often, it will take a lot longer to clean which will be more expensive. Second, by waiting a long time, you are at more risk of uncovering damage, that will be costly to repair.
