Attention South East Queensland!

Why It's Time to Wash Your Building's Exterior
As the gateway to the stunning natural beauty of Australia,
South East Queensland deserves to have its buildings looking as pristine as its landscapes.
At Complex External Cleaning, we understand the unique challenges and benefits of maintaining clean building exteriors in this vibrant region. Here’s why you should consider our professional exterior cleaning services:

1. Enhance Curb Appeal
The first impression of your building speaks volumes. Over time, dirt, grime, and pollution can dull the exterior surfaces, making them look aged and neglected. Our professional cleaning services can restore the original beauty of your building, making it stand out in your neighbourhood.

2. Protect Your Investment
Regular cleaning prevents the build up of harmful substances like mould, mildew, and algae that can cause long-term damage to your building materials. This proactive maintenance approach can save you significant repair costs and extend the life of your property.

3. Improve Health and Safety
A clean building is not just aesthetically pleasing but also healthier. Mold and mildew can cause respiratory issues and other health problems for occupants. By removing these hazards, we create a safer environment for everyone.

4. Boost Energy Efficiency
A clean building surface can improve energy efficiency. Dirt and grime can cause surfaces to retain more heat, increasing cooling costs. Keeping your building clean helps maintain optimal temperature regulation, potentially lowering your energy bills.

Why Homeowners in Brisbane Should Wash the Exterior of Their Homes Yearly

Owning a home is a significant investment, and maintaining its appearance and condition is crucial. One of the most effective ways to ensure your home remains in top shape is through regular exterior house washing. Here are some compelling reasons why homeowners in Brisbane should wash their homes' exteriors yearly:

•  Mould Removal:

​Brisbane’s humid climate can lead to the rapid growth of mould and mildew on your home’s exterior. Regular washing helps remove these harmful substances, protecting your family’s health and preventing potential structural damage.

• Elimination of Dust and Dirt:

​Over time, dust and dirt accumulate on the exterior surfaces of your home. This build-up can dull the appearance of your house and make it look neglected.
A thorough house wash removes these contaminants, restoring your home’s pristine look.

• Pest Control:

​Spiders, cockroaches, and other pests often find refuge in the nooks and crannies of your home’s exterior. Regular washing dislodges these unwanted guests, reducing the chances of infestation and making your home a more comfortable place to live.

• Enhanced Curb Appeal:

A clean, well-maintained exterior significantly boosts your home’s curb appeal.
Whether you’re planning to stay put or sell, a fresh-looking house makes a great impression on visitors and potential buyers alike.

• Easier Selling Process:

If you’re considering selling your home, a clean exterior can make the process smoother. Prospective buyers are more likely to be attracted to a well-maintained property, potentially leading to quicker sales and better offers.

• Improved Mood and Satisfaction:
• There’s something undeniably satisfying about coming home to a clean house. Regular washing not only enhances the look of your home but also contributes to an overall feeling of happiness and well-being.

Why Building Owners and Tenants in Queensland Should Consider Pressure Cleaning Their Concrete Surfaces

Maintaining clean and safe concrete surfaces is crucial for building owners and tenants in Queensland, especially in areas with heavy foot traffic.
Pressure cleaning these surfaces not only enhances their appearance but also significantly improves safety for customers, tenants, and visitors.
At Complex External Cleaning, we provide professional pressure cleaning services that ensure your property is both aesthetically pleasing and safe. Here’s why you should prioritise pressure cleaning for your concrete surfaces.

Enhance Safety and Reduce Liability

1. Prevention of Slips and Falls:
Concrete surfaces can accumulate dirt, mould, algae, and other contaminants that make them slippery and hazardous. Pressure cleaning effectively removes these substances, reducing the risk of slips and falls. This not only protects the well-being of everyone on your property but also minimises the potential for costly lawsuits.

2. Mould Deterrent Solution:
At Complex External Cleaning, we use a specialised mould deterrent solution before pressure cleaning. This solution kills mould and prevents its regrowth, ensuring that your surfaces remain clean and safe for a longer period. Mould-free surfaces are less slippery and healthier for the environment.

Improve Aesthetics and Property Value

3. Refresh the Look of Your Property:
Clean concrete surfaces contribute to the overall aesthetic appeal of your building. Pressure cleaning removes stains, grime, and discoloration, leaving your property looking fresh and inviting. A well-maintained exterior creates a positive impression on visitors, tenants, and potential clients.

4. Increase Property Value:
Regular maintenance, including pressure cleaning, can increase the value of your property. Clean and well-kept surfaces reflect a high standard of care and can make your building more attractive to tenants and buyers.

Health Benefits

5. Healthier Environment:
Pressure cleaning removes allergens, bacteria, and pollutants that can accumulate on concrete surfaces. This creates a healthier environment for everyone who uses your property, reducing the likelihood of health issues related to mould and other contaminants.

Professional and Reliable Service
6. Peace of Mind with Complex External Cleaning:
By choosing Complex External Cleaning, you can have peace of mind knowing that the work will be completed professionally and to the highest standards. Our experienced team uses advanced equipment and techniques to deliver exceptional results, ensuring your concrete surfaces are thoroughly cleaned and safe.

Every House Washing Quote is Different
Every house washing quote is going to be different because there are so many house washers out there just quoting willy-nilly.


Things to Look for When Getting House Washing Quotes
Companies that excel in house washing or external cleaning will have a structured system to follow from the moment you call them to the moment you receive your quote. This system ensures a seamless, professional experience that gives you confidence in their services.


Professionalism and Reliability
Unexperienced operators will stand out with no process at all, often turning up at random times for a quote. There’s nothing worse than not knowing if anyone is going to show up. Only a handful of professional companies offer the reliability and consistency you need. We just want to warn you what to look for when pricing your home. (If you haven’t read our last blog on Finding the Right House Washer, it’s worth a read.)
In an ever-changing world, most customers prefer to have an online quote because they no longer have the time to accommodate multiple service providers dropping by for quotes. This convenience not only saves time but also addresses safety concerns. If just anyone is coming to your home to provide a quote, it's a safety risk, as the person quoting could be just anyone.
Nobody really has the time to wait around for multiple people to turn up at your home, nor do they want several strangers inspecting their property. These days, most professional companies can provide a quote via Google Earth to give you an accurate estimate. If your home is a bit larger, they can adjust accordingly and get the job done to their high standards.

Tricks Some House Washers Play
There are a few tricks that less reputable house washers might use:
​
Lowball Quotes:

• ​​Some companies will quote your home much lower than others. This could be because they don’t fully understand what they’re doing, or they’re only quoting for the perimeter of your home without including decks, awnings, and window scrubbing.
  

This means your home will not be cleaned thoroughly unless you pay for extras.
​If they do turn up to quote and they say they can do it right then and there that this is a red flag too.
 

• Some might offer 30% off any competitor's quote. While this sounds like a good deal, it’s often a desperate move to secure a booking, and the quality of work may suffer.

Clear Understanding of Services:

• Make sure you know exactly what you’re getting before you approve the quote. If you don’t understand what they are offering, it might be better to go with another house washer. A lack of clarity can lead to misunderstandings, and you may end up with more (or less) than you expected.

Conclusion
When seeking house washing services in South East Queensland, it's crucial to do your homework and find a reputable company that offers clear, detailed quotes and professional service from start to finish.
Look for companies that use advanced tools like Google Earth for quoting and have a transparent process for their services. Look for a visible ABN.

By choosing a professional and reliable company, you ensure your home gets the thorough cleaning it deserves without any hidden costs or surprises.
Remember, a clean home exterior not only enhances your property's curb appeal but also protects your investment and improves your overall living environment.

So take the time to find the right house washer, and enjoy the peace of mind that comes with knowing your home is in good hands.

​Complex External Cleaning 

The external cleaning industry, specifically house washing, has exploded and many people think they can just buy equipment and go to work on your biggest asset, your home.

There are so many things to look for when washing houses and only those with extensive experience will know how to treat different aspects for every job.

Here's how to research who's quoting your home, what experience they have and what quality of service they provide.

When hiring a house washer you should have this check list ready:

1. Is the house washer trained or experienced and how many years have they been in business? 
Reading the 'About us' pages on their website is only going to tell you what they think you want to hear but a quick check online will give you a better overview, go to https://abr.business.gov.au/.
It's a free service, just enter the company/trading name or ABN to see how long they have been in business. If you cant find it search the persons name. Still no luck then they are not registered and are probably not experienced in the services you are getting, its a big red flag.

2. Where did you find them?
Free directories and "Get 3 quotes sent to you" style platforms are commonly used by lessor experienced house washers as they are yet to build their customer base and reputation. 
Experienced house washers have a regular customer base or gain work by word of mouth and other types of advertising and often have a lead time before they can book you in.
Inexperienced cleaners will not be so busy and will likely turn up to a quote ready to work that day (if they can talk you into it).

3. Check the date that their ABN was registered
If it was registered 6 months ago but their website states 25 years then you'll know they're telling porkies. (there are very few house washers that have been around for 25 years and most of the longer term industry cleaners will know each other so ask around)

4. Are they insured?
They should have at least $5-10 million Public Liability for residential external cleaning (If concerned ask for a current copy)

5. Are they police checked 
Ask for a copy

6. If working at heights, do they have Working at Heights training?
For any work completed on your roof ensure your cleaner has Working at Heights Safely training and they should readily agree to show you their card.
While on your roof they should always be attached to a temporary anchor by harness and rope.

7. How is my house going to be cleaned?
They should be very upfront with the process in which they are going to wash your home.
Soft Broom House Washing is the best way to safely wash exteriors.
If they are offering to Pressure Clean the outside of your home you need to think about what the state of your paint is going to look like after cleaning. 
Soft broom house washing is all in the name; soap and chemical is applied to your homes exterior, then scrubbed softly removing any mould, grime ,dust or bat/bird droppings. This is the best option for house washing because you know that all areas have been scrubbed thoroughly.

If you've booked a job in, look for these indications:

8. Ask your house washer for a check list on things you need to do or move before they turn up.
Any good and experienced house washer will have supplied you with a checklist before they commence and will check things around your house before they commence washing.

9. You need to pay particular attention to the house washer covering your electrical points/switches
If they don't do this you can experience power outages which is a real pain. Covering them first will save this from happening. 

10. Ask them about any raw or stained timber areas
Timber around your home such as decks, railings or furnishings should all be covered or moved to protect them from chemical staining or water marks. A good house washer will automatically do this or know how to clean around these, but if they don't you should be concerned. 

10. Windows and doors leaking
A minimal amount of water can make it's way in which shouldn't cause too much harm, but  if it's pouring in you will need to stop the house washer immediately and ask why this is happening.  Some timber windows cant be helped but an experienced house washer should realise this and not spray heavily around these areas.

11. Make sure that your windows are streak free
Some house washers can leave your windows worse off than when they arrived.
The majority of house washers will wash off windows afterwards to remove any left over cleaning solution (not a professional clean) but some don't and having a clean house and dirty windows is like having a great smile with rotten teeth. 

11. Always check the job after completed to make sure you are happy with the works
The cleaner should always come and ask if you would like to do a walk around prior to packing up and leaving. That way, if you see something you're not happy with the cleaner can attempt to rectify it right away.

12. Payment
When checking the cleaners ABN, check if they're registered for GST.
If they're not registered for GST then they cant charge you for it, this should always be noted on the invoice they provide you.

We hope that this will help with the next time you are looking for a House Washer, its better to be safe than sorry.
