5 Things Homeowners Should Do Before Having Their House Washed

A professional house wash is one of the quickest and most affordable ways to restore your home's curb appeal. Soft washing removes dirt, mold, algae, mildew, pollen, and other contaminants that build up on your home's exterior throughout the year. While our team at Under Pressure Pressure Washing takes care of the hard work, there are a few simple things homeowners can do before we arrive to help the process go as smoothly as possible.

If you live in Byron, Warner Robins, Macon, Perry, Kathleen, Bonaire, Fort Valley, Gray, Lizella, or anywhere in Middle Georgia, these tips will help you prepare for your upcoming house washing appointment.

1. Close All Windows and Doors

Before your scheduled cleaning, double-check that every window and exterior door is completely closed and latched. Even though we use a professional soft washing process with much lower pressure than traditional pressure washing, ensuring everything is sealed helps prevent water from entering your home.

It's also a good idea to close garage doors and check any basement or crawlspace entrances if applicable.

2. Move Outdoor Furniture and Decorations

Patio furniture, potted plants, welcome mats, grills, toys, bicycles, and other outdoor decorations can make it harder to access every area of your home.

Moving these items a few feet away from the house allows us to clean more efficiently and ensures every section of your home's exterior receives the attention it deserves.

Don't worry if you can't move larger items—we're always happy to work around them when necessary.

3. Keep Pets and Children Inside During the Cleaning

Your family's safety is always our top priority.

While our cleaning process is safe when used correctly, we recommend keeping pets and young children indoors while we work around your property. This helps prevent distractions and allows our technicians to complete the job safely and efficiently.

Once everything has dried, your yard can be enjoyed as normal.

4. Let Us Know About Any Areas of Concern

Every home is different.

If you have a loose piece of siding, an aging window seal, recently painted surfaces, delicate landscaping, or an area you'd like us to pay special attention to, let us know before we begin.

We perform a walkthrough before every job, but pointing out any concerns ahead of time helps us provide the best possible service.

Communication is one of the reasons homeowners across Middle Georgia continue to trust Under Pressure Pressure Washing.

5. Turn Off Exterior Electrical Items If Needed

If you have decorative lighting, outdoor speakers, water features, extension cords, or other electrical accessories near the areas being cleaned, turning them off beforehand is a good idea.

If you're unsure about anything on your property, just ask. We're happy to answer questions and make recommendations before we begin.

What You Don't Have to Worry About

Many homeowners ask if they need to provide water hoses, cleaning supplies, or equipment.

The answer is simple—we bring everything needed to complete the job professionally.

From commercial-grade soft washing equipment to professional cleaning solutions, our team arrives fully prepared to restore your home's exterior safely and effectively.
