Residential Cleaning
Why its Green to be Clean
As the exterior of your home becomes dirtier and dirtier, it is actually slowly costing you more money each
month in wasted energy. Each month that goes by your home and roof gradually get darker and darker. It is
a scientific fact that darker objects absorb more heat from the sunlight. So as time goes on, your home is
absorbing more and more heat, which your a/c unit has to fight against, thus costing your money in wasted
electric and excess unneeded wear and tear on your a/c system.
The Darkness is Eating Your Home
The reason roofs get darker over time is due to a fungus growth. This fungus, because it lacks chlorophyll, is
unable to create its own food from sunlight and water like most plants. Now because this fungus is alive, but
cannot create its own food, it removes the nutrients it needs from its surroundings. When a fungus removes
its nutrients from organic matter, it is called a saprophyte. Unfortunately a main component in roofing is tar,
which is dead organic matter. The darker your roof gets, the more fungus is growing on it, and the faster it is
"eating" your roof. By keeping a regular cleaning schedule on your home, you can prevent this fungus from
having a free buffet on your roof, therefore getting a longer life out of your expensive roof and saving your
hard earned cash on roof repairs.
Bring Your Curb Appeal Up
In today economic times, with real estate and stock market down turns, it is simple to increase the value of
your home by keeping in clean. Whether you are selling your home or not,, a clean, aesthetically pleasing
home is always a bonus. In some homeowner associations it may actually be required to have the exterior of
your home cleaned regularly to keep the over all appearance of the community up.

Be Careful of Who You Hire to Clean Your Project
Be sure to hire a competent, experienced pressure cleaning service. One key point to look out for is if the
contractor you have hired is using pressure on your asphalt shingle roof. This creates a large problem that
may not be noticeable for years. An asphalt shingle roof should never have pressure applied to it because it
will void the manufacturers warranty by wash away a large amount of the small rocks on the surface of the
shingles. Not only is the manufacturers warranty voided, but the removal of these rocks will lead to premature
roof failure.
A professional cleaning service will use the correct pressure for the application and the correct mixture of
detergents to clean the project without damaging, or causing minimal damage to the project. Always keep in
mind the older and dirtier a project is, the more likely minimal damage will occur to the project, so its best to
have a scheduled cleaning on a regular basis to keep projects in "like new " condition.
