The Best Time Of Year To Soft Wash A House

Nevin Shields • October 2, 2021

Fall Is One Of The Best Times To Clean Your Homes Exterior In Central Pennsylvania. 

House Washing Season

We are often asked at Eco Clean Power Washing, "What is the best time of year to clean our siding"? 

When it comes to scheduling your house wash, there are a few things to consider when choosing what time of year to schedule. At Eco Clean Power Washing, we are able to wash houses as long as the exterior temperature is above freezing. This means that the time frame to wash your home in Pennsylvania is between March and November.


When it comes to picking a time of year there are a few things to consider:

1. Landscaping and surrounding plants

Soft washing requires the use of an algicide solution that kills algae and mold build up on exterior surfaces. This means that when using the cleaning solution, you must be very careful as to not cause any harm to the plants or vegetation. If your house has lots of delicate plants and landscaping, it is best to wash your house once the flowers have already bloomed or early in the season around March. You could also choose to wait until fall which is what many of our customers choose to do.


Fall is one of the best times of year to wash your exterior surfaces.

2. Spring Cleaning & Allergies

Everyone loves to freshen up their homes when spring arrives and washing the exterior surface is no different. We often have many customers pre schedule for Spring spots due to the high volume of demand that time of year. Spring is also a great time of year to wash your house for a few other reasons.


Pollen. If you or someone in your household have allergies then soft washing your home can be a great way to help reduce the amount of pollen in the air surrounding the entrances to your home and windows. This is one of the most common reasons why people hire us to wash their homes.


Another reason why spring is a great time of year to wash your house is due to the temperature. It is much easier and more efficient to clean a house on a cool spring day than a hot summer day.  This is also great as it allows us to use a little less water on cool spring days.
