Your Guide to Prepping your home for Our Arrival
Picture this: your home, bathed in the glow of a fresh clean, ready to take on the world. Power washing isn't just cleaning; it's a transformation. Whether you're gearing up for a DIY spectacle or calling in the pros, the preparation dance is crucial. Let's break it down and ensure your home is the star of the power-washing show.
How to Prep Your Home for a DIY Pressure Washing Extravaganza:
Cleaning your castle with a pressure washer is a noble quest, but every knight needs proper armor. Take note of these steps to ensure your DIY venture is a triumphant success:
1. Fasten and Secure: Before unleashing the power, double-check that your windows, doors, and other openings are in tiptop shape. Fasten them securely, like getting your armor ready for battle.
2. Seal the Gaps: No fortress is impenetrable without sealing the gaps. Weather-stripped windows or doors need extra attention. Fill in any cracks or crevices to prevent unwanted water invasions.
3. Fix and Fortify: Broken components are chinks in your home's armour. Repair them beforehand to keep the integrity intact and the water at bay.
4. Relocate the Vulnerable: Move anything delicate or prone to water damage out of harm's way. Potted plants, cherished belongings – give them a safe haven away from the impending water spectacle.
5. Mind the Obstacles: Survey your surroundings for potential obstacles. Toys, gardening gear, or anything that could pose a tripping hazard – clear the stage for a seamless performance.
Shielding the Electrical Outlets: Electricity and water – not the best duo. Shield your outlets by covering them up. Remove extension cords and appliances, then add an extra layer of protection with hinged covers. These handy lids, found in stores, will keep your outlets safe from any unwanted power wash surprises.
