How to Clean the Exterior of Your House

Living in a house has more benefits than living in an apartment. However there are also some disadvantages that come with the living in a house and one of them is the cleaning of the property. It is really hard to keep a whole house clean. It takes lots of time and efforts. Moreover, you need to maintain not only the interior of the house but its exterior, as well.

If you made a decision to clean the exterior of your house because you want to prepare it for the upcoming winter season, London cleaners will share with you some of their great tips to accomplish your cleaning mission. And here are the instructions of the professionals: 

1. It would be good to wash your house twice a year. You should estimate the climate conditions in your area and the amount of dirt collected by the rain. Before cleaning the exterior of your house you should hire or purchase a power washer that uses a garden hose to spray high-pressure water. You need to start from the top of the building and work your way down in order to avoid dirty water to affect the already cleaned areas.

2. You have to prepare a solution of 2-3 litres of water and 1 tablespoon of trisodium phosphate. Use the mixture to clean wood, rock, siding and different painted surfaces. Get rid of the mildew with bleach and a sponge. Clean stubborn spots with a solution of 2 cups water and � cup muriatic acid.

3. To remove rust on window screens, London cleaning professionals advise to use a cloth dampened with kerosene. At the end, make your wood surfaces clean with oxalic acid and a brush.
