Porches & Entryways
How to Clean Porches and Entryways Like a Pro
Boost curb appeal, create a warm welcome and enjoy the satisfaction of a spotless entryway with this simple step-by-step guide for porch and entryway cleaning.
Tip: For all-in-one cleaning, use a waterflow pole with a waterfed brush attachment. This allows you to wet the surface, scrub, and rinse using the same tool.
Clear the Area:
Remove furniture, rugs, planters and decoration. Take down any wreaths or door hangings.
Clean Overhead Surfaces: (this shouldn’t be indented but I think when we accept change it will go to the right spot.)
Remove cobwebs, insects and loose debris using an extendable cobweb duster to reach beams, corners, fans and outdoor light fixtures.
Clear Debris:
Use a sturdy outdoor broom to sweep away dirt, leaves and any debris.
Clean Siding, Windows and Glass Doors
Fill a large bucket with mild soap and water.
Wet the area
Scrub exterior walls with soft bristle brush – ideal for vinyl, brick and stone
Deep Clean the Porch Floor
Wash using the same mix of water and mild soap or deck cleaner for your surface type.
Scrub with hard bristle brush for concrete, soft bristle brush for stone, or deck brush for wood or composite flooring.
Rinse to remove soap and dirt.
Detail the Door Area and Windows:
Wipe down doors, lock and handle with a damp microfiber cloth and mild detergent.
Buff dry with a clean microfiber cloth for a polished finish.
For streak free window cleaning fill a bucket with glass cleaning soap. Use a 2-in-1 scrubber and squeegee to wash then wipe clean windows and glass doors for that ultimate shine.
