Home became suddenly dirty? You’re not alone.

Over the last few weeks we’ve been told by many homeowners that their home really didn’t become too dirty until as of recent! So of course we had to find out why; we’re exterior cleaning professionals! So that we did. There’s actually 2 very important factors to blame for this- excessive humidity and pollen, let’s break it down!

We’re in a “mast year”, But what’s that?

A mast year is a cycle when certain trees decide to pollenate.. a ton! Michigan tends to get hit pretty hard with Mast years. This can cause quite the build up on wet surfaces and leave behind residue on your siding/decks/windows, just all-round messy and not fun to clean.

This year in spring, Michigan saw ~25% more rain than the average with elevated humidity. Then right into spring we went with 90+ degree weather - glad that’s over! These 2 factors combined make the perfect breeding ground for mold and algae - especially in shaded areas. The nice humid weather accelerates the growth of organics and made them appear a lot faster this year!

What can you do about it?

If it feels like your home just got hit by a big ball of grime out of the left field - its because it did. Now, how can you restore your siding? Well you are on a power washing blog, so of course you know what the next course of action is - get a house wash, or deck/patio cleaning done; leaving your home looking like new.

If contacting a power washing company, always ensure they’re insured before accepting their quote. You never want to be stuck paying for new siding because the new kid on the block decided to pick up a pressure washer.
