Summer Cleaning


We have been enjoying outdoor living over the past month - warm but not too hot temperatures have encouraged us to use the deck for morning coffee and paper reading. I've planted flowers in containers on both the deck, front porch and patio while B has been feeding the lawn and shrubs. Some outside furniture from the Lake house was brought over in the early spring. 

After washing a few outside windows, we noticed not only how much the windows needed cleaning but also how dirty the front brick was. The sidewalks, front porch and back patio also needed cleaning. Having had success with having the roof washed, B suggested we again contact Apex Soft Wash. A representative came out and we ordered a home exterior soft wash that included the entire house, front walks and back patio. They came this week and we are amazed at the difference! And of course, I was out with the camera taking pictures.


All the furniture had to be moved off the patio along with the potted plants

The two deck boxes were emptied and moved

And a very dirty patio was left

They first sprayed the cleaner on the house including the windows. The spray was "soft" enough that spraying the windows presented no problem.

Honey supervised from the master bedroom window

The spray reached the top and got all the windows

The brick on the front was done

And the front porch as well as the front walks

Here they are using a round scrubber to clean the back patio - this was also used on the front patio and sidewalks.


An amazing difference!!!


We are so happy with the results! The lawn guys will be trimming the overgrown shrubs within the next few weeks. This summer we are looking forward to enjoying outdoor living at our Park house.
