Clear the Air: How Power Washing Helps with Allergy Season

Seasonal allergies can be a real headache — and sometimes the cause isn’t just pollen in the air. Mold, mildew, and dust on the outside of your home can sneak inside and make things worse.

The good news? Power washing your home’s exterior is one of the easiest ways to reduce allergy triggers around your property.

What Triggers Allergies Outside?

Everyone reacts differently, but some common irritants you’ll find on exterior surfaces include:

● Mold and mildew

● Algae and moss

● Dust and pollen buildup

● Animal dander or waste

● Decaying leaves or yard debris

These allergens can stick to siding, decks, patios, and walkways — then travel inside through open windows, clothes, or your pets.

Surfaces That Collect Allergens

Watch for buildup on these areas:

● Siding

● Decks and railings

● Outdoor furniture

● Patios and porches

● Concrete walkways or driveways

● Fences

Even if everything looks “mostly clean,” there could be layers of invisible grime that aggravate allergies.

How Power Washing Helps

At Patriot Power Wash, we use soft-washing techniques and eco-safe cleaners to remove allergens from all these surfaces. It’s fast, effective, and safer than scrubbing — especially on painted wood or vinyl.

Best time to do it? Right after winter, before allergy season hits full swing. That way, you’re starting fresh when windows open up and spring is in full bloom.

Extra Tips for Reducing Outdoor Allergies

● Close windows during peak allergy season

● Use HEPA air filters indoors

● Clean decks and furniture regularly

● Rinse your pets after outdoor play

● Sweep porches and walkways to remove pollen and dust

Combined with a seasonal power wash, these simple steps can make a big difference.
