Thanksgiving is right around the corner, and whether you’re hosting family or friends, first impressions matter. A quick power wash of key areas around your home can make a huge difference, ensuring your space looks clean and welcoming. Here are five areas you should prioritize before the holiday gatherings begin.
Table of Contents
1. House Siding and Exterior Walls
Over time, your home’s siding accumulates dirt, pollen, and mildew, leaving it looking dull. Before guests arrive:
- Pressure wash the siding to restore its original color and make your house look fresh.
- Remove streaks caused by rain runoff and algae that can form on shaded sides of your home.
- Soft washing might be better for delicate surfaces like vinyl to prevent damage.
A clean exterior boosts curb appeal, setting the tone for visitors as they arrive. Elevation Power Washing offers professional house washing services that leave your home spotless and ready for the holidays.
2. Walkways and Driveways
Your driveway and walkways are among the first things guests see. They can quickly accumulate grime, tire marks, and mildew, making them slippery and unsightly.
- Pressure washing removes dirt, oil stains, and algae, preventing potential slip hazards.
- It also helps to remove those stubborn fall leaves that leave stains if not washed off in time.
A clean driveway and path not only look great but also ensure your home is safe and easy to navigate for guests, even on wet days.
3. Decks, Patios, and Outdoor Furniture
Even though summer is over, you may still want to entertain on your deck or patio. Thanksgiving is the perfect time to spruce up these spaces:
- Power washing removes built-up grime, leaves, and mold that can cause slippery surfaces.
- Outdoor furniture that’s been sitting through the fall needs a good wash to make it presentable for guests.
Elevation Power Washing can clean your outdoor spaces and furniture efficiently, making them look inviting for holiday gatherings.
4. Windows and Gutters
Sparkling windows and clean gutters can make a world of difference to your home’s overall appearance.
- Dirty windows covered in dust or streaks diminish the view and natural light inside. A thorough power wash will leave them sparkling.
- Gutters clogged with leaves can overflow, leading to water damage and unsightly stains on your exterior walls.
Professionally cleaned windows will enhance your home’s brightness, while clean gutters protect against water damage, keeping your exterior spotless.
5. Porches and Entryways
The front porch and entryway are the focal points of your home, setting the tone for guests as they arrive.
- Power wash entry doors, railings, and steps to eliminate dirt, cobwebs, and pollen buildup.
- If you plan to put out festive decorations or a holiday wreath, a clean entryway will make them stand out even more.
This final touch ensures that your home makes the best possible first impression on Thanksgiving Day.
