Summer time: just like Will Smith sang, there’s an air of love and of happiness. Now picture yourself chilling in the car you spent all day waxing. You’re parked curbside at the business you own or manage. Only the dirty sidewalk and filthy storefront doesn’t portray the same feeling of confidence. Your curb appeal is looking nowhere near as fresh as you are. It’s a problem, but don’t fret- summer is the best time for pressure washing.
As an owner or manager of a brick and mortar commercial space, you take price in your business’ image. When your exterior areas are dirty from neglect, this can have an negative impact on public perception. It’s certainly not helping you to entice passersby. But there’s an easy solution: pressure washing by the pros. Here are some of the many reasons why you should correct course and get those outside surfaces cleaned.
Summer is the best season for curb appeal
Your brick and mortar business will be seen by more people. Traffic that’s either rolling by or stalling by on foot, it doesn’t matter: you want to make a positive impression on as many people as you can. The idea is to get them to stop and check your business out. You want the image of your business to project professionalism. The goal is to instill confidence in customers and allow them to feel comfortable walking through your door. This starts with cleanliness.
Summer is hot and dry; the best weather for pressure washing
Warm weather allows for quick drying time after the pressure washing is performed. This is key because excessive moisture on surfaces can lead to mold or mildew. The rapid drying also reduces the risk of slips and falls. Although any pro commercial cleaning company will always prepare a job site according to OSHA safety standards. This includes cones and other warning signs.
Organic matter generated during spring has to go
Spring is the time of year when organic matter from trees and landscaping is at an all-time high. Flower pedals, pollen, late falling leaves, needles, the list goes on. The buildup of organic matter can eventually create a fertile environment for moss growth. Pressure washing can remove moss from roofs, siding, sidewalks and more.
Longer daylight hours
Summer is great to tackle those large scale jobs with lots of surfaces to clean. The extended daylight hours can be a great benefit. There will be more time to work without worrying about daylight running out.

Pressure washing can stop moss in it’s tracks
During drier months algae, mold and mildew tend to die back on exterior surfaces. This can be a great time to blast away the dead moss and avoid having it become a problem down the road. If you’re in a humid region, summer heat and humidity can actually cause moss to proliferate. Either way, pressure washing effectively removes these contaminants, restoring the cleanliness to your property.
Cleaning prevents damage
Over time dirt, algae, mold and mildew can accumulate on surfaces. This can lead to discoloration, deterioration, and even structural damage. Cleaning is maintaining. And maintenance is always cheaper than replacement. By having your exteriors pressure washed, you are taking proactive measures to prevent damage.
