Cleanliness is next to Godliness; this statement speaks volumes regarding hygiene in general. No one would want to enter a house that is dirty on the outside because it is simply a reflection of how it may be on the inside. The phrase does not judge a book by its cover does not imply when it comes to something dirty. Let us discuss how to make your house more appealing to the outside.
Here are some cleaning techniques to help get that great exterior again.
Cleaning techniques of house exteriors
There are many ways to kill a cat. Similarly, there are many ways to clean the house, especially in outdoor spaces and areas around the house. Some methods include the use of chemical solutions, and some are manual. One method that provides chemical solutions is vinegar solution, which is a mixture of vinegar and water; it is used to eliminate mold from surfaces. Oxygen solution is a mixture of dish soap, water, and oxygen bleach, which is used to eliminate mildew stains. Some of the manual methods include using a garden hose, scrubbing with soap and water, power washing and pressure washing.
Pressure washing vs Power Washing
Let us start by distinguishing between pressure washing and power washing. These two words are often mixed up. Pressure washing uses water at the same temperature as it was when it was poured into the machine, whereas power washing uses heated water to produce more pressure.
How pressure washing works
Pressure washing uses high-pressure water that is not heated. It is mainly used on surfaces that do not collect much dirt, like patios, driveways, and some exteriors. A regular garden hose is connected to the machine as a source of water, and then the machine converts the water into pressure, allowing it to come out through the nozzles.
How a power washer works:
A power washer works by converting normal water into heated water. This is the same way that pressure works, but the key difference is that the power washer has a heating element that heats up water. The combination of steam and pressure makes it easy to remove tough debris and gunk from outdoor surfaces.
Get rid of tough dirt and stains using a power washer or pressure washer
1. Wet or soak the surface area that you will be cleaning with either water or a cleaning solution; this helps loosen dirt and gunk before getting started, and it is beneficial, especially when using a pressure washer.
2. After soaking, clean from top to bottom to allow the water to flow and wash the stubborn gunk on the bottom.
3. Clean in sections to make working easier, and clean each section thoroughly.
4. Make sure to rinse the area thoroughly.
Important notes to take
1. Cover plants or move anything that might get damaged during the process.
2. Be careful when working around glass-like windows or patio doors.
3. Wear protective clothing, and if the task is a bit daunting, call professionals or the nearest cleaning service centre.
