Spring is a good time of year to get pressure washing done around your home or business. Pressure washing will remove all that algae, mildew and other organic matter off your surfaces to make everything look great gain for the summer! We use Low Pressure Washing or "Soft Wash" on most of the surfaces we clean. It's safer this way, of course for concrete or brick surfaces, then we use hot water pressure washing.

It's important to be sure when you have your windows cleaned that the sills or tracks get cleaned out. By doing this you allow the screen to go in and fit better and the window itself will close and latch as it suppose too. Sometimes debris will get caught in the tracks and not allow you a tight secure closing of your window. It also just looks better to have them cleaned out! At Simply Clean we do just that, cleaning of sills or tracks are part of our window cleaning process, no extra charges.

The one trouble with not getting a professional gutter cleaning each year is the damage it can cause to your roof. The sediment can build up in your gutters and drainage system overflows and has nowhere else to flow but into your roof. Over time, the shingles and wood that make up your roof can begin to decompose and cause leaks. If leaks go untreated, it could create greater problems, like damage to the interior of your home. So call a professional to make sure your gutters are in good shape!

Artillery fungus, or shotgun fungus, is a wood-decay fungus that likes to live on moist landscape mulch. The worst thing about this fungus is that it shoots spores up to 20 feet, which often land on siding, cars and anything else that surrounds the mulch. This fungus is hard to remove from vinyl, you can lighten it but not totally remove it. It will come off windows with a specialized stainless steel window scrapper. Best way to deal with it is, don't put mulch around your house, if possible.

A lot of people don’t have their windows cleaned in the winter mostly because of the cold weather or they would rather have it done in the spring. But having them cleaned in the winter has it’s advantages, first most window cleaners are not that busy so you don’t have to wait a long time to get it scheduled. Also, they will stay cleaner longer because there is not as much dust and pollen in the air. But sometimes its just too cold to get them cleaned!

Automatic sprinklers can be great for your lawn when they are properly adjusted, but can cause damage to your windows. Over time, the water that is spraying on your windows is drying and leaving hard water deposits on your window. As the months and years go by, this buildup will "fog" your windows or hardwater deposits will be very visible. The good news is it can be remedied. The deposits can be removed by specialized chemicals that are for this, also try adjusting your sprinkler head.

Depending on the location you live, your siding should be cleaned every 2 to 4 years. The more humid the climate, the more often it should be washed. Why? Siding tends to have mold/algae rapidly grow on the surface, and it begins on the narrow underside of each run. One it gets started it overtakes one side, and then works its way all over the house. It can grow about anywhere on your house but most prevalent on the North side of your home. Maintenance is required to keep this algae at bay!
