Winter is just around the corner, and depending on where you live, you may or may not have already experienced your first snow. You may be tempted to leave your exterior cleaning until spring, after all, spring cleaning exists for a reason. However, this could end up hurting both you and your home exterior in the long run.
Here’s what you need to know about what winter can do to your home’s exterior and why it’s better to go into the season with a clean property, rather than waiting for warmer weather.
Think About Your Holiday Decorations
Whether you’re someone who goes all out with your holiday decorations or you prefer to keep it low-key, one thing’s for certain: if your property’s exterior is dirty and grimy, your decorations aren’t going to have that wow factor you’re after. In fact, your holiday lighting may illuminate the algae and mold on your property… not exactly the vibe you’re going for.
When you don’t leave your exterior cleaning until spring, but rather, have it done in the fall before the snow hits, you’re helping your holiday decorations shine their brightest and to show off your property in the best light possible. And if you’re going to make the effort to decorate, you want to make it worth your while!
Prevent Clogged Gutters And Ice Dams
Ice dams may look magical – after all, how many wintery illustrations are there with icicles hanging off of the roof of a house? Far too many to count, that’s for sure. But as beautiful as said icicles may be, the damage they can do to your property turns them into a menace in disguise.
When fall leaves clog your gutters, your gutters cannot function as they’re meant to. This means that rather than runoff water being directed away from your home’s foundation, it overflows. This can cause water damage to your property. When it’s cold enough for the overflow to freeze, this can result in ice dams, which can become so heavy that they start to pull your gutters off of your roof.
Nobody wants to deal with property damage, especially not when it was easily preventable. Getting your gutters cleaned helps prevent such issues, giving you peace of mind that your gutters will be clear and function as they should throughout the winter months.
Stave Off Damage
Dirt and grime and mold and mildew don’t just look bad. If left unchecked, they can also damage your property. They can negatively impact the structural integrity of your home. It can settle and stain, and the longer that dirt sits, the harder it can be to remove. For your windows, glass is porous, so if dirt is left on it, this can cause it to start to break down the surface.
Nobody wants any of that. Winter itself is going to be hard on your property’s exterior, especially when you take into account things like chemical deicers and salt. To minimize the risk of damage, don’t leave exterior cleaning until spring. Clean before snow hits, and then, once spring has sprung, clean again, to ensure that your property stays in the best condition possible for as long as possible.
