Getting your patio summer ready
Can you believe it’s already June?!? Temperatures are rising fast; there’s no doubt summer is right around the corner! We couldn’t be happier to see the sunshine and be able to be outside in our backyards. But is your backyard and patio summer ready….?
If you haven’t heard, Lemon and Pine Co. just launched our NEW exterior cleaning services, and we are so excited to share some outdoor cleaning tips with our community!
In this blog we break down why pressure washing is so imporant (if you have allergies, listen up!) and the steps we take when cleaning patios before the summer season hits.
THE POWER OF PRESSURE WASHING
Getting your patio ready for summer can be a lot of work, and you want to ensure it’s done right. One of the services we offer is pressure washing, and we love this because not only does it transform your space and bring it back to new, it also does some amazing things you wouldn’t think of…
Pressure washing prevents the growth of mould, mildew and algae; these can all cause issues to your home down the road. It also removes the threat of diseased bacteria from rodents and removes pollen from the area, which helps allergy sufferers. Bonus, if you're selling your home, pressure washing is an affordable way to spruce up the house and give it that extra curb appeal.
OUR PROCESS FOR GETTING A PATIO SUMMER READY
Take everything off the patio
Sweep and hose off the area or pressure wash
Hose down all the furniture and cushions and hand wash with water and Dawn
Clean all windows and doors
Window tip for no streaks: fill a bucket with warm water and a squirt of Dawn dish soap, wash with a rag and then squeegee the water off and buff it to dry! Streaks be gone!
Once the furniture is dry, then rearrange back on the patio and add any plants and flowers
