What's Actually Included in a House Wash (and Why We Throw in a Free Window Clean)

A full house washing service on the Gold Coast from Xtreme Power Clean includes using a combination of pressure washing and soft washing techniques on walls, windows, eaves, downpipes, guttering and fascia. Depending on your needs we can include fencing, pathways, paving and your roof. ​

How Long Does a House Washing in Gold Coast Take?

It depends on the size of the home and how long it's been since the last clean. A single-storey home with a small driveway is a quicker job than a double-storey property with a long driveway and years of buildup. As a general rule a house wash will take anywhere between 5 and 9 hours. First-time cleans usually take a bit longer too.

Mould, algae and salt build up on the Gold Coast, so a property that's never been done often needs more attention than one that gets cleaned regularly.

Where DIY House Washing Usually Falls Short

A lot of DIYers use the wrong nozzle for the surface. For example, there’s a nozzle that sounds like a beehive and it’s usually included with home pressure washing systems. It can cause serious damage to exposed aggregate concrete which can in turn, damage other parts of the property.

Too much pressure is the other common issue, it's easy to think more force means a better clean, when it can strip render, paint and lift pavers.

Pre and post treatment trips people up too. Some skip it completely, and the mould's back within weeks. Others use too much of the wrong product, or leave it sitting on the surface too long, which causes its own damage. Knowing which treatment suits which surface, and how long to leave it, isn't something most people know going in.
​
Eaves, window sills and second-storey walls are the parts most often skipped altogether, they're harder to reach safely, so they get a quick spray at best, if that. 

Why We Include a Free Exterior Window Clean

Pressure washing can leave some residue on your windows, so we clean them off while we're at it. That way the whole property looks great so you’re happy which makes us happy!
