Power Washing your Sidewalks

It’s finally getting warm again, the snow is gone, and you can finally enjoy the good weather of the months coming ahead, right? Wrong. Well, at least not entirely. Once the low temperatures are gone and you start coming out of your house more often, you will start realizing that cleaning and clearing up outside of your house is the best strategy for you to enjoy this nice weather. Power washing your sidewalks, driveways, and home can make a big difference.

Spring Cleaning

The higher the temperatures and the lighter your mood, the more things you will feel like accomplishing. Among those, getting rid of things (hence the raging spring garage sales) and cleaning your home. In all honesty, nobody wants to clean a house, unless it’s theirs. But it’s part of the responsibility of a homeowner: giving maintenance to a house. And Cincinnati power washing doesn’t just benefit you, but everyone on your block.

Not only is it important to keep the inside of your house clean, but it’s equally important for the backyard and the front lawn. If your house has a garage on the front, this is the part you will want to pay the most attention to. Stains on your garage floor or on the driveway start making your house look uncared for.

Nobody likes to see that

Some of the toughest stains to clean are bird droppings or those of your unpleasant neighbor’s dog. Besides, nobody likes unwelcoming smells from unknown sources on the ground. They can start eroding the brick or leaving permanent stains on the concrete. If they’re somewhere on the grass and you can still pick them up (even if they aren’t your dog’s), do it.

Bird droppings can also be potentially harmful because of the pathogens and microbes they carry. If a good old hose doesn’t do the trick to areas where it’s still stuck to the ground, try testing power cleaning with a pressure washer. If that doesn’t work either, you might want to look into the equipment that Cincinnati is using. They take sidewalk cleaning to a whole other level because of the number of crows in the area. Now that is what I would call power cleaning.

Sidewalk Etiquette

Depending on the weather conditions, it’s recommended to do certain things to keep sidewalks clear and safe for pedestrians. It is the property owner’s responsibility to keep them that way, and not just during the spring. In the wintertime, that means to remove snow and ice to avoid slips and falls. When your garden has been cleaned and mowed, clippings, leaves, and branches from the trees should be removed too. Keeping branches trimmed to keep people from hitting their faces when passing by is also recommended.

It’s common to see a lot of people looking down to their cell phones screens while they walk on sidewalks these days. It’s like they’ve got them stuck to their hands. This causes them to stop paying attention to their path, and while we’re not in a situation of the likes of China yet where accidents might happen in the overcrowded street crossings, we might want to start by keeping the way safe for everyone in all kinds of weather.
