Morris County, NJ Homeowners: Here’s Why Exterior Cleaning Should Be on Your To-Do List
Why Do We Care So Much About the Inside of Our Homes — and Ignore the Outside?
We’ll spend thousands on outdoor kitchens, stone patios, custom decks, and picture-perfect siding. We obsess over curb appeal and Pinterest-worthy backyards.
Then… we let it all get covered in grime, moss, and mildew like it’s no big deal.
Why is that?
Here at Under Pressure House Washing, we work in a region filled with absolutely beautiful homes. These are properties with high-end finishes, pristine landscaping, and yes — those slate roofs that make you slow down when you drive by.
But anyone in the exterior cleaning business will tell you: once you start noticing dirty homes, you see them everywhere. You can’t go two miles without spotting siding streaked with algae, patios blackened with grime, or a once-beautiful stone walkway now green with moss.
So it begs the question…
Why Do We Invest So Much in the Outside of Our Homes — Only to Let It Go?
Think about it. We hire professional teams to clean the inside of our homes every few weeks, often spending hundreds of dollars each visit. We mop, dust, polish, and vacuum — and yet the exterior, the part everyone sees first, often gets ignored.
Maybe it’s just a case of “out of sight, out of mind.” But is it really out of sight when you're pulling into your driveway every day?
Or maybe, over time, we just forget how amazing everything used to look. That slate roof that once gleamed in the sunlight. The pavers that used to pop with contrast. The bright, clean siding that made your home feel fresh and new.
Mold, algae, and grime build up slowly. You don’t always notice the change — until someone comes along with the right pressure washing or soft washing solution and brings it all back to life.

I’ll Be Honest — I’ve Let My Own House Go Too
Even as someone in the industry, I’ve let things slide at my own house. Life gets busy. The to-do list grows. And it’s easy to push something like house washing to the bottom of the list.
That’s exactly why I now schedule my own crew to take care of it — the same way our clients do. Because once it’s clean, the difference is undeniable. And you wonder why you waited so long.
