Wondering how often you should pressure wash your Atlanta home or business? In a city known for pollen, storms, humidity, and urban activity, regular exterior cleaning is a must. Discover the ideal cleaning frequency for maximizing curb appeal, health, and long-term property protection.
Factors Affecting Pressure Washing Frequency in Atlanta:
- Pollen Levels: Atlanta has some of the highest spring pollen counts in the nation—annual, sometimes biannual, cleaning is recommended.
- Shade and Moisture: Heavily shaded lots or homes near trees accumulate more mildew and moss and may require more frequent service.
- Proximity to Roads or Construction: Urban dust, red clay, and pollution can coat surfaces quickly, especially near major traffic zones or new builds.
- Weather Events: After severe storms or flooding, pressure washing removes dirt and debris before it causes damage.
General Guidelines for Atlanta Homeowners:
- Residential Homes:
- At least once per year (spring or fall)
- Twice per year for shaded properties or those near busy roads - Businesses & Commercial Properties:
- Every 2-3 months for high-traffic or food-service locations
- Twice yearly for offices, retail, and apartments
Seasonal Tips:
- Spring: Remove winter grime and pollen.
- Summer: Clean mildew, algae, and prepare for outdoor events.
- Fall: Wash away leaf stains, debris, and prep for holidays.
- Winter: Address mud, rain stains, and early spring buildup.
