3 main reasons the facade of your building gets dirty too quickly

Do you ever wonder about the three main reasons the façade of your building gets dirty too quickly? Then you are not alone. Property owners and managers constantly worry about how they can protect the integrity and visual appeal of their property without it falling into disrepair.

It makes no difference what your façade is made of; stone, glass, concrete, brick or a mixture of several materials. Even polished steel, if not cleaned frequently, will quickly become dirty, grey and off-putting both to you and visitors.

So why does the façade of your building get dirty too quickly?

There are many factors that come into play, damaging and dirtying the exterior of your property:

1. Minerals – coming out of the stone or brick, from masonry nearby or even windowsills above, salts and minerals will leak out of the main substrate and be carried or washed onto the façade by the elements, staining and corroding the surface.
2. Pollution – if your property is in a busy town or city and particularly if it is close to a busy road full of traffic, pollutants carried in the air will quickly ruin the façade. Your building will soon find itself covered in grime and looking grim.
3. Pests – and we must not forget Mother Nature’s pests. Birds, bugs and even rodents can find cosy nooks and crannies to make into their home. This can create damage to the exterior of the building with droppings making marks that are hard to remove.

With all of this in mind, it make sense that when looking for a company to clean the façade, they are experienced in dealing with all of these hazards and many more.
