The Best Times of Year to Pressure Wash Your Home in Sanford, NC

Timing is everything when it comes to exterior cleaning. At Straight Streamin Pressure Washing, we recommend pressure washing your home at least once a year—but the best time depends on your property’s exposure and local climate.

Here in Sanford, NC, we experience:

  • Heavy pollen in spring

  • High humidity in summer

  • Leaf debris and rain in fall

Best Seasons to Pressure Wash in NC

✅ Spring (March–May):
Remove winter grime, mildew, and yellow pollen buildup.

✅ Fall (September–November):
Clean up after the stormy summer season and before winter sets in.

🚫 Avoid Winter (Dec–Feb):
Freezing temps make washing risky, and detergents don’t work as effectively in the cold.

Consider These Factors

  • Shade/Tree Cover: Shaded homes trap moisture and need more frequent washing.

  • North-Facing Walls: These areas rarely get sun and grow algae faster.

  • Proximity to Woods or Lakes: Homes near natural areas like Deep River may need washing twice a year.

Pro Tip: Schedule Early!

Spring and fall are peak seasons. Beat the rush by scheduling early with Straight Streamin and lock in your preferred date.
