Refresh and Protect Your Home
Your home's exterior is constantly exposed to the harsh Western Australian climate. Over time, dirt, dust, mould, algae, cobwebs, bird droppings and other contaminants build up on exterior walls, eaves, gutters and other surfaces.
Professional house washing safely removes these contaminants, restoring your home's appearance while helping to protect exterior surfaces from premature deterioration.
Why Does Your Home Need Exterior Cleaning?
Even well-maintained homes gradually accumulate dirt and organic growth.
Common causes include:
- Dust and dirt
- Mould and mildew
- Algae
- Cobwebs
- Bird droppings
- Tree sap
- Air pollution
- Salt spray in coastal areas
- General weathering
Without regular cleaning, these contaminants can affect both the appearance and condition of your home.
How Is a House Professionally Washed?
The cleaning method is selected based on the type of surface and the level of contamination.
1. Property Inspection
Your home's exterior is assessed to determine the most suitable cleaning method and identify any areas requiring special attention.
2. Surface Preparation
Loose dirt, cobwebs and debris are removed, and surrounding plants or delicate areas are protected where required.
3. Cleaning Treatment
Professional cleaning solutions may be applied to break down mould, algae and stubborn contaminants before washing. Check out PSW House Wash
4. Exterior Cleaning
Depending on the surface, soft washing or controlled pressure cleaning is used to safely remove dirt, grime and organic growth without causing unnecessary damage.

Once cleaning is complete, the property is inspected to ensure an even, professional finish.

How Often Should You Wash Your Home?
