In Worcester County, MA, spring brings more than blooming flowers and warmer days—it’s also the ideal time to give your home’s exterior a fresh start. One of the most important but overlooked maintenance tasks? House washing.
You may be asking yourself, “How often should I really wash my house?” The short answer: at least once a year, and spring is the perfect time. Here’s why.
1. Why Spring Is the Best Season for House Washing
Spring is when your home wakes up from a long, rough winter. The salt, grime, and moisture left behind by snow and ice don’t just disappear—they stick to your siding, windows, and foundation. A thorough house wash:
-
Removes mold, mildew, pollen, and algae
-
Prepares surfaces for painting or repairs
-
Instantly enhances curb appeal
-
Prevents long-term damage to siding and finishes
Pro Tip: House washing after winter helps reveal any hidden cracks or issues before they become costly repairs.

2. How Often Should You Wash Your Home’s Exterior?
While once a year is the golden rule, how often really depends on your surroundings:
Wash at least annually if:
-
You live in an area with lots of tree cover (hello, moss and mildew!)
-
Your home is prone to dust, dirt, or road grime
-
You want to keep property values high and the HOA happy
Wash twice a year if:
-
You live near a construction site or major roadway
-
Your siding is light-colored and shows dirt more easily
-
You notice green streaks or black patches on the exterior
Bonus tip:
If you’re planning to paint, seal, or make exterior repairs, a clean surface is essential for the new material to adhere properly.
3. The Link Between House Washing and Painting Prep
Thinking about repainting your home this spring or summer? Don’t skip the wash. Dirt, mildew, and chalky paint residue will prevent new paint from sticking well, and can lead to early peeling or bubbling.
Washing your house before painting:
-
Extends the life of your paint job
-
Prevents mold from being trapped beneath new layers
-
Ensures smooth, even application
At Kings of Pressure, we gently remove debris using the right pressure and eco-friendly cleaners to protect your home while prepping it for what’s next.
4. Curb Appeal That Turns Heads (and Boosts Value)
It’s no secret—a freshly washed home looks newer, brighter, and better cared for. Whether you’re planning to sell or just want to be proud when you pull in the driveway, house washing delivers an instant visual upgrade.

5. What Parts of the Home Need the Most Attention?
During a house wash, professionals focus on:
-
Siding (vinyl, wood, brick, stucco)
-
Gutters and soffits
-
Exterior window frames and sills
-
Front porch, steps, and railings
-
Foundation walls
Keeping these areas clean doesn’t just look good—it prevents wear and tear caused by moss, dirt, and trapped moisture.
