Wood decks and fences in Florida mildew fast and can rot where water and leaves sit. Cleaning every year and refinishing every two to three keeps the wood sound.
Spring pollen season in Florida coats houses, cars, screens and patios in a yellow-green film, and pollen gives mildew something to feed on. Many homeowners book their wash after pollen season ends so the house stays clean longer.
Much of Florida has hard water. Sprinklers and misters leave white mineral spots on walls, windows, fences and pool tile, and those spots need a mineral-safe cleaner, not more pressure.
