Proper stucco cleaning is critical to maintain its aesthetic appeal as well as extend its serviceable lifespan. The stucco should be routinely cleaned in order to prevent the build-up of dust, dirt and other elements that may cause surface staining or discoloration. For best results and to avoid potential damage, a method known as “soft washing” should be employed, using low pressure combined with professional grade soaps. There are also several benefits that stucco cleaning can provide, such as improved paint adhesion for better coverage and protection against organic staining agents. Regardless of the stucco type, a thorough cleaning by trained professionals once every few years will keep the stucco looking like new. #housewashpa
