If you ask all commercial painting companies, they’ll all tell you the importance of keeping the exterior of your business clean. Most owners or commercial building managers will schedule this maintenance, but it can sometimes be overlooked due to budget reasons but it’s important that you don’t let it go for too long, for the health and safety of your building.

The next question is what is the best time to power wash your business? Typically the best time to do this is right after winter, and here are the reasons why.

Clean off dirt and other accumulated debris

The reason why power washing your building right after winter is the best time, is because it gives you the opportunity to clean off all of the damage and debris that happens during the winter. Giving your business a good power wash can prevent any further damage as grime, ice, salt, or sand can accumulate and cause damage to your building and surrounding area. If these things are not properly cleaned off you may have to spend money on expensive repairs.

Prevent allergic reactions

Another great reason to power washing after winter has ended is you can prevent or lower the chances of allergens around your business. Many people are allergic to things like pollen, which often starts right after winter, so power washing your building can help prevent the spread of allergens in the building, which can have a negative impact on employee performance.

Weather and temperature

The weather and temperature is a major factor in properly power washing your business. Winter is far too cold to start washing, but the temperature of the spring season is perfect.

Schedule your maintenance

Any good commercial painting companies will tell you the best way to keep your building clean all year round and also minimizing repairs is to create and keep a maintenance schedule. Schedules allow smaller maintenance jobs to be taken care of on a regular basis, which will prevent them from being forgotten. If you keep your power washing schedule consistent and do it right after every winter, it will make the maintenance process much simpler, and provide a framework for the rest of your maintenance.
