6 Reasons to Power Wash Your Home

What is the difference between memorizing and learning? Memorization is the ability to reproduce important, pertinent, and/or interesting information at a moment's notice. Memorization is a wonderful skill that serves many people well, but it has serious limitations. If someone has memorized information, their knowledge is superficial. Once he has recited that which he memorized, he is unable to further expound on his topic. Learning, on the other hand, is the act of internalizing and understanding information, wholly and completely. Unlike the man who memorized, the man who learned will be able to expand on his topic and teach it to others.

At Best PowerWash Dallas, we believe that you cannot have a complete appreciation for something unless you have learned it. We believe in the importance of power washing your home, for example, but it won't help for us to preach our message to you. In order for you to feel motivated to hire a professional residential power washing company, you have to understand for yourself why it is such an important aspect of home-ownership.

In order to educate our community and to help you gain this important understanding, we put together a list of six reasons why you should power wash your home.

1. Power Washing Protects Your Home From Damage
Mold, pollen, bird droppings, and other natural substances accumulate on our homes over time, and can cause permanent and expensive damage to the surfaces of your home if not removed. Cleaning the exterior of your home can prevent these damages from occurring.

2. Power Washing Lowers Allergens
Allergic reactions to floating mold spores are incredibly common in many people. It is impossible to prevent stray spores from floating by or through your home, but power washing can remove them before they have a chance to develop into established colonies, thus reducing the number of allergic reactions for you and your family.

3. Power Washing is Efficient
Many cleaning methods (scrubbing, soaking, sweeping, mopping, etc) require a lot of time and patience. Power washing, however, is one of the quickest and most efficient cleaning methods available; it allows you to clean large structures - such as your home - much more quickly than you could using any other method.

4. Power Washing Saves Money
This may seem counter- intuitive, but it's true: hiring a professional power washing company can actually save you money! That's because power washing your home costs much less than it would to repair your home from the damages that result from not power washing. Power washing can also give your home the same shiny new appearance that painting your home does - for less than half the price!

5. Power Washing Keeps You Safe
Mold and mildew (even small colonies) can make seemingly safe surfaces surprisingly slick. Power washing your driveway, patio, steps, and pathways can remove these hazards before someone slips and falls.

6. Power Washing Increases Your Home's Value
Because dirt slowly accumulates over time, we typically don't realize how dirty our homes are until we finally clean them. It's no secret that clean homes are much more visually appealing. If you're considering selling your home in the near future, power washing is a worthwhile investment. You may not realize how much your home needs it!

We hope that these reasons have helped increase your understanding of power washing and how it can benefit you and your home. If you would like more information or if you are ready to take action, don't hesitate to give Best PowerWash Dallas a call! We are ready and excited to work with you.

Are You Unknowingly a Mold Farmer?

It's a blissful scene, really. You're relaxing with your spouse on your big, comfy couch in your beautiful living room after a long day. Your kids' gleeful shouts carry up the stairs, and you smile, just taking in the scene.

The only thing marring this picturesque scene are the tiny spores, invisible to the naked eye, floating through the air. These little spores seem innocent enough; they're microscopic in size and they aren't attached to anything. However, don't be fooled by their seemingly harmless first impression. Under the proper conditions, these spores can wreak havoc on your family's health and your home.

Best PowerWash Dallas is here to help you protect your home and your family by opening your eyes to some of the ways many homeowners unknowingly contribute to mold growth in their home. The biggest mistakes homeowners make is not paying extra attention to certain areas of their homes or yards that are particularly susceptible to mold growth.

North Side of Buildings/Fences

This may seem like an odd thing to highlight as the first area homeowners overlook, but that's precisely why it's so important. Mold thrives in moist, damp, dark environments. The north side of your home or fence gets significantly less sunlight during the day, which means it is more likely to exhibit the characteristics that attribute to mold growth. Thoroughly power washing the north side of your home or fence will help cut down on mold growth. 

Shaded Areas

Your yard may be on the south side of your home, but if it's heavily shaded, it may be subject to the same amount of mold growth that the north side of your home is. For example, the bench in this beautiful, shaded garden could be a prime location for mold to flourish. Take some time to critically evaluate your shaded areas to see if any of them require special attention.

Areas with Frequent Irrigation and/or Poor Drainage

Moisture is essential for mold growth. When drifting mold spores land in a moist environment, they can quickly multiply into an entire colony. We strongly recommend paying close attention to areas near your home or yard that are irrigated by private wells and/or areas that have poor drainage, as these damp areas are the perfect location for mold to grow.

Mold spores can cause moderate to severe allergic reactions for many people, especially those with asthma or other preexisting respiratory disorders. The inside of your home may be completely mold-free, but if the outside of your home is not, mold spores can be carried into your home on air currents - straight into your family's lungs. A cleaner exterior makes for a healthier interior, so starting with these important outside areas we just mentioned will help get you started on the right track.

Best PowerWash Dallas is expanding! We now offer home mold remediation services in addition to our residential and commercial power washing services. 

Estimates are always free, so give us a call today at (214) 553-0431!

Cleaning Different Surfaces: Condition, Materials, & Chemicals

"The front of my house is looking kinda dirty... I'll just rent a power washer and take care of that this weekend."

This seemingly quick and simple solution is, unfortunately, not nearly as quick and simple as it sounds. At best, untrained homeowners may not be able to get a thorough or effective clean. At worst, they may cause accidental damage to their homes because they do not realize the harmful effects many pressure washers have.

Different types of surfaces also require different approaches in order to effectively clean them. Last week, we received an excellent question on Twitter from Keyhouse Media. We decided that it deserved a longer answer than what we could fit on Twitter, so we decided to feature it in this week's blog.

Condition Matters. 

Many people believe that the type of surface you want to clean dictates the cleaning methods you should use, but this is actually incorrect. In reality, the condition of the surface matters much more than its type.

Worn surfaces that have not been maintained well are the toughest to clean. These surfaces are more easily damaged with aggressive cleaning, so they must be handled much more delicately. Obviously, then, carefully examining the condition of the surface is very important.

Material Matters Too.

While the condition of the surface plays a bigger role in determining how you should clean it, the material it is made of does also have an impact on the cleaning methods that should be used. Here are a few examples.

• Stone can be more challenging to clean than brick because algae can actually take root inside the material (not just along the surface). When this happens, several applications of the cleaning chemical may be required.
• Brick that has been glazed may be cleaned more easily, but the mortar may have been subject to previous freeze/thaw damage and must be treated delicately. 
• Concrete that does not have a skim coat on top must also be treated carefully. Aggressive washing can actually wash away the top layer, making it more susceptible to spalling after a freeze. ("Spalling" means breaking, splitting, or chipping.)

Don't Forget About the Cleaning Chemicals.

As if the condition and material of the surfaces weren't enough, cleaning chemicals are another factor that must be considered when formulating your cleaning strategy. Cleaning chemicals are made specifically for removing certain things (such as algae, rust, or paint) from certain materials (such as wood, brick, or stone), so it's important to make sure you're using the right one.

Professional Experience Can Help You.

If you don't have a lot of practice power washing your home, it can be incredibly difficult to determine which method will be the best. Having an experienced professional on your side can make a world of difference! Save yourself the hassle by contacting Best PowerWash Dallas today. We can help you with all of your commercial and residential power washing needs!
