Advantages of Pressure Cleaning your Home

Pressure cleaning your home costs money if you hire a professional pressure cleaner – and time and effort if you do it yourself.  So what are the advantages of pressure cleaning your home?

The Advantages of Pressure Cleaning a House & Surrounds

The most obvious advantage is that high pressuring cleaning substantially improves the appearance of your home.  But is this enough of an advantage to go to the expensive of hiring a pressure cleaner or the effort that is required if you do it yourself?  The answer is probably not unless you are really houseproud or if you are putting your home on the market for sale…

There are however other advantages of pressure cleaning which with the above reason do make it a good financial decision to have your house, your pathways and garage professional cleaned.

Mould and Algae

High pressure cleaning gets rid of mould and algae on paths and carport or garage areas.  Particularly when wet algae and mould are slipping and falling hazards and can result in a visit to the doctor or even worse to the hospital.  Even if you yourself are aware of these dangerous areas and ensure that you do not walk on them, visitors, friends and family may not.  Even couriers and tradespersons coming to you home are at risk if you do not take action and remove the danger.

Permanent Stains

Another reason why high pressure cleaning is a good investment is that it can prevent permanent stains.  If you have for example external blinds that have a fungus growing on them or a build up of leaves which when wet repeatedly and left decompose and leave stains then you may need to replace the blinds or repaint them.  Both of these options are more expensive than having them pressure cleaned before the more permanent damage can occur.

Fire Hazard

A professional high pressure cleaner will also remove the build up of leaves, sticks and other debris from your gutters.  Many homeowners with two storey homes tend to neglect cleaning out the gutters from the top level of their houses.  It is obvious that in a fire hazard area this is a dangerous risk.  Again prevention through high pressure cleaning is really a good idea.

Regular maintenance through high pressure cleaning will extend the life of your deck, cladding, blinds and even outdoor furniture thereby providing value for money.

Resale Value

When it comes to selling your home, the cost of high pressure cleaning will pay for itself over and over and over in the high price you are likely to obtain through the far better presentation of your home.

Environmentally Friendly

Another advantage of high pressure cleaning is that it should be an environmentally friendly way to clean.  When choosing a high pressure cleaning business look for one that has cleaning equipment that can re-cycle and re-use the water – and also use environmentally safe cleaning products.

Final Advantages

Finally, some more advantages of pressure cleaning include that pressure cleaning:-

• is more affordable than other cleaning methods
• can be used to reach high areas that other cleaners (or yourself) may not be able to reach
• is able to reach nooks and crannies that other cleaning methods may not be able to.
