When is the Best Time to Pressure Wash?
For most of us, the best time to pressure wash is spring and fall because of the mild temperatures. You can do it in the summer, but that depends on your location. In a hot and humid climate, drying times will take a lot longer. But, if you live in a northern area with cool summers and long days, summer may be the perfect time to pressure wash. TESTIMONIALS
Winter is not a great time to pressure wash. Ideally, you want to pressure wash when the temperature is above 40 degrees, and the forecast is dry and sunny. Do not pressure wash when the temperature is or is forecasted to go below freezing. Surfaces can stay wet a long time; the water will likely have worked its way into cracks and crevices that won’t quickly dry, and a freeze-thaw cycle during drying time may damage surfaces like concrete and wood. Also, water left in the pressure washer’s hoses may do damage to the machine if it freezes.
Many people pressure wash twice a year: once in the spring to clean off winter dirt and grime, and again in the fall to remove algae and mold that grew over the summer. You may find it best to wait until late fall to pressure wash so you can remove fallen leaves that have left stains as well as sap or pollen that have built up on decks, roofs, concrete and siding.
The best time of day depends on the time of year and what surface you’re washing. The sun should be your deciding factor; pressure wash when the sun can speed up your drying times. In cooler weather like early spring and late fall, the warm afternoon sun may work best for you, while in the summer, early morning, before it gets too hot may be your optimum time. www.manuelzpaintinghomeimprovementinc.com
