Pollen Season and Your Home's Exterior in Charlotte

By Patriot Home Service. Published: . Updated: . Published by Patriot Home Service.

Spring pollen coats Charlotte siding, decks, windows and driveways in yellow. When to clean, which surfaces need gentle methods and how to plan the season.

Each spring, a yellow layer settles on cars, porches and siding across Charlotte. Pollen rinses off easily in many places, but it also mixes with moisture and grime on exterior surfaces.

Wait for the heaviest pollen to pass

Cleaning during the thickest part of the season can mean doing it twice. Many homeowners schedule exterior cleaning once the worst of the pollen is over.

Match the method to the surface

Siding, painted trim and roofs usually call for low-pressure soft washing. Concrete driveways and walkways can handle pressure washing. Decks depend on the material.

Windows and screens

Pollen collects on screens and window tracks. Rinsing them gently helps windows stay clearer.

Decks and furniture

Pollen and damp weather together can leave a film on deck boards. A spring cleaning keeps the surface ready for summer.
