How cold is too cold to Wash your house

Pressure Washing in Winter, Knoxville Tn

Here in Knoxville, Tn we all know wintertime can be a little crazy, between two big Holidays, and colder temperatures, it's often asked, should we wait till Spring. Well yes and no with a bit of personal preference added in. Around here, it can be 37 like it is today, and 53 like it will be tomorrow, but when it comes down to it, it's all about the science.

 Most pressure washing services do somewhat shut down in the winter, or at least go on a limited schedule. This being said, it can be a great time to get your home washed, Some companies offer deep discounts, some do not. But the main rule of thumb is not below freezing. As the temps start to get around 40f, the soaps and chemicals used to kill the mold and algae begin to become less effective. Two workarounds are soap stubborn areas more than once or boost up the soap level to a slightly stronger mix.
 
 Personally, we shut down the concrete pressure washing, although the temp maybe around 40f, the surface temps may be closer to the low 30's into the twenties depending on how cold it was the night before. The result when using the surface cleaner isn't the best, it has a tendency to leave 'ghost lines' and is not efficient. This also happens on the shady side of the home, the surface temp will be much colder than the air temps thus making it a little bit of a challenge. Also, a keynote is the water runoff, the colder it is, the higher the risk of creating an ice slick which can be very dangerous. So this particular service we recommend waiting till spring.
