A home cleaning service that makes your home clean, inside and “OUT”
Something that makes us unique to our fellow cleaning services in Santa Clarita is the fact we offer outdoor home cleaning. No, not just windows and gutters or power washing. All things we offer by the way but more detailed things that will benefit the face appeal of your home. Walking in and out of homes for cleanings, obviously with cleaning on our minds we started looking everywhere that we might be able to make things look more attractive and clean at your home. One of the benefits of cleaning dirt off the outside of your home is this. Noticing areas that might need new paint or repairs that you wouldn’t have been able to notice under the camouflage of dirt.
Cleaning the outside of your home and what it means
To us a clean home doesn’t only mean the interior. After all, there are just as many factors that make the outside of your home just as dirty as the inside. Let’s start in the spring. In Santa Clarita every single neighborhood has sets of massive trees that produce a ridiculous amount of pollen. This substance clings on to every object in its flight path. This will make things look dusty and more worn down than they really are. Don’t even get us started about black highlights or fixtures around your home. If you have any of these you know exactly what we’re talking about. Landscapers and Gardners add to this equation of a dirty exterior of your home. Mowing, blowing and any other landscaping task you might have them doing. The product of this happening can potentially be making your home look older than it really is.
To be completely honest spring isn’t the only time of year that your home is going to get dirty. All year, 365 days there are factors of filth accumulating on your home. For an instance we unfortunately can’t choose when the wind blows. When the wind does blow it will liter your home with dust and anything else that might be in the air. Even if you don’t think your home could fall victim to this it most likely will. I want you to look around on edges and fixtures or really any surface area on the outside of your. Soon you’ll notice how dirty they really are. Below we will list a couple of other niche articles of grime we keep our eyes out for when cleaning the exterior of your home.
Lighting fixture
Porch lights, flood lights or any other kinds of decoritve lights that might be around your home are perfect areas for dirt. One thing these lighting fixtures also accumulate that we have noticed is bird poop. Did you know that if bird poop sits on paint or other surfaces it can permanently discolor or wear down that surface? Now that you know this you might think differently of those cute little birds.
Sightings around doors, windows and garages
As I might of touched base on already flat areas accumulate the worst of the dirt and debris. Areas like these are often overlooked because they are taller than most peoples line of vision. Think about this though, when water runs down these surface ares that we can’t see all the dirt soon becomes very visible because its washing down your walls or whatever other area of your home.
Garage doors and doors themselves
These two are large eye catchers for every home. Garage doors take up most of the face area of homes anyways so why would you want it to be dirty? Most garage doors are made different but all have the same mechanics and do the same things. They go up when the garage door is open and becomes a flat surface and if you are still with me from reading previous paragraphs we all know flat surfaces collect dust. Even when the garage door is down in a closed position it will have the opportunity to become very dirty.
The door to your home is the very first thing people see. This is a unique one because of how much traffic it gets with being inside and outside of your home. What we see most of is this. The edges around the door will become very dirty because of oil from your hands pulling or pushing it open. Front doors are also made with designs and edges that have no choice other then to collect dust and debris.
Patio covers and the Eaves of your home
When was the last time you looked up while walking in your home or around it. If you haven’t in a while I bet you there is an accumulation of dirt and pesty spider webs. Over hanging areas of your home, especially areas that surround light fixtures, are the most perfect habitats for spiders, NOT. If you’re a spider person and enjoy the look and company of spiders then I don’t blame you for not getting rid of those guys. Unfortunately though it’s hard to make the exterior of your home look clean. Well taken care of and presentable with cob webs and spider webs controlling those areas. Neighbor saver defintely recommends getting those taken care of.
