When your house is wet from rain or morning dew, dust and pollen collects on the damp surfaces. This dust & pollen becomes a food source for mold & mildew to grow. When airborne mold and mildew spores stick to the exterior surfaces of your home they begin to grow & spread. The rate of organic growth on your homes exterior is mostly dependent on environmental conditions such as humidity, sun exposure, pollen levels, & temperature. In central Indiana, it is almost a given that parts of your homes exterior will eventually become contaminated with this naturally occurring organic growth.

The “Brighten Exterior Cleaning Services” basic house washing service includes cleaning and sanitizing your homes exterior from the bottom edge of your siding (near the ground where it overlaps the foundation) to top edge of where your exterior walls, overhangs, or gutters meet your roofing material. We clean all exposed siding surfaces and exterior trim boards (including soffits, fascia boards, & corner trim boards). We also clean the exterior frames of your windows and doors. In the process, your window screens will receive a good soaping and rinsing, removing most or all of the dust and debris imbedded in the screen material. We pay special attention to your front porch area as dust and cobwebs often accumulate there.

Our cleaning solution is environmentally safe, contains no phosphates and is 100% biodegradable. In order to effectively kill mold, mildew, and bacteria, we use the appropriate concentration of sodium hypochlorite (bleach). Sodium hypochlorite is used in municipal drinking water and swimming pools to keep us safe. If used improperly, it can stress or kill plants. For this reason, we take extra precautions so your plants don’t feel any stress at all. For most plants, a good soaking with water before and after cleaning is all they need. But, there are some plants, like ferns, or soft leaf flowers that are more sensitive. For these plants we take the extra step of post treating them with a misting spray of a neutralizer that is specifically formulated just for this purpose.
