Keeping your home’s exterior clean isn’t just about looks—it’s about protecting your property from long-term damage caused by dirt, mold, and weather exposure. But how often should you pressure wash your home?

The answer depends on several key factors.

🧽 General Rule: Once a Year

For most Texas homes, an annual pressure wash is the sweet spot. This helps:

• Remove mildew, pollen, dust, and cobwebs
• Restore color and brightness to your siding
• Prevent surface damage from buildup

🌳 Homes Near Trees or High Traffic? Clean More Often

If your home is shaded by trees, near a dirt road, or gets hit with frequent storms, you may need pressure washing every 6–9 months. Signs it’s time include:

• Green algae on siding
• Dirty concrete or oil-stained driveways
• Black streaks or grime on walls and fences

🏠 Driveways, Walkways, and Patios

Concrete surfaces collect grime quickly. Pressure washing:

• Removes algae that make walkways slippery
• Clears oil and tire marks from driveways
• Restores patios and pool decks to a fresh finish

Aim for at least twice a year for these surfaces.
