Cleaning Your House Exterior

Cleaning the house does not really require the use of power washer all the time. But if in case you do not have the time to do some cleaning, then it is best to talk to the experts in house cleaning.

Driveway cleaning, concrete patio and walkway cleaning can be intimidating. But given the right time, I can work and clean it on my own. I make my own cleaning solution. What you need is:


- 5 Gallon Bucket
- Stirring Stick
- 1 Gallon Liquid Bleach
- Tri-Sodium Phosphate
- Borax
- Liquid dishwashing soap


Fill the gallon with water half way. Stir the water and add in the liquid bleach. Continue stirring the mixture and then add about 2 cups of TSP, 1 cup Borax and ½ cup dishwashing liquid soap. This solution will be used to clean concrete flooring outside the house. You need to get down on your knee to scrub stains off your driveway. Who says it is easy? Driveway cleaning?

Keeping a clean house says a lot about the owners. A house need not be huge and fancy. A small house has charms on its’ own plus benefits like having low maintenance cost.

Trimming plants and the lawn need not take too much time. If you regularly trim your lawn, then maintaining it will only take a few minutes. You need to double check that water drainage is clean and nothing gets stuck. This way we avoid water rising when it rains. If you have water outlets, make sure there are no leaks. If you leave water hose outside, keep it clean. 

Cleaning windows might be a challenge if you have a second floor in the house. You might need a ladder for this. Clean windows allow clean air to get into the house. You get to check any window breakage and the lock in the process.

Cleaning the house exterior does require some time out of your busy schedule. Do not put off cleaning the outside because the dirt and damage might creep in inside the house.
