Florida’s sunshine is great—but the humidity, pollen, and storms? Not so much. From spring pollen to summer algae and hurricane prep, here’s your go-to cleaning guide to keep your home sparkling and safe year-round.

🌞🧼 Florida Seasonal Cleaning Checklist: What to Clean & When

🌼 Spring: Time for a Fresh Start

Spring in Florida brings pollen, light rains, and that perfect opportunity to clean up after the cooler months. Dirt, mildew, and grime start building fast this time of year.

✅ What to Clean in Spring:

House Wash – Remove pollen, mildew, and algae from stucco, vinyl siding, Hardie board, or brick.
Driveway & Sidewalk Pressure Washing – Prevent slip hazards and refresh curb appeal.
Lanai & Pool Cage Cleaning – Get your outdoor space ready for BBQ season.
Gutter Cleaning – Clear out debris before summer storms arrive.

💡 Bonus Tip: This is a great time to inspect your roof for dark streaks or algae. A soft wash can extend its lifespan and improve appearance.

☀️ Summer: Heat, Humidity & Algae Growth

Summer in Florida is hot, humid, and wet—perfect for rapid algae growth. From your roof to your pool deck, surfaces can get slick and stained quickly.

🔧 Summer Services You’ll Need:

Roof Cleaning – Soft wash treatment removes black algae streaks and improves energy efficiency.
Pool Deck & Patio Cleaning – Keep surfaces safe and beautiful by removing algae, mold, and dirt.
Fence Cleaning – Vinyl fences turn green fast in Florida heat. We’ll bring them back to white.
Rust Stain Removal – Sprinkler systems often cause orange rust marks on driveways and pool decks.

🌀 Hurricane Season Prep (June – November)

Florida’s hurricane season starts June 1st, but don’t wait until storms are on the radar. Preparing your exterior now can prevent costly damage later.

🛠️ What to Clean Before a Storm:

Gutters & Downspouts – Prevent blockages and overflow.
Driveways & Sidewalks – Remove grime and algae that can become a slip hazard during rains.
Roof & Fascia – A clean roof helps identify storm damage more easily.
