Cairns footpath high pressure cleaning

Footpath Pressure Washing Effectively Combats Mould

The humid tropical climate of Cairns is ideal for mould growth and the rainy season from November through to March supercharges bacteria growth. Mostly warm temperatures year-round mean mould colonies can easily form and thrive.

Patches of green algae and mould absorb and hold water, making sidewalks slippery in some spots. Sidewalks that are not properly maintained can quickly become a slip and fall hazard for residents, visitors and customers.

Additionally, the mould spores can be easily tracked indoors where they circulate in the air until they find the right conditions to start another thriving mould colony.

Regular Sidewalk Pressure Washing Saves Money

Some people think they are saving money by skipping routine sidewalk pressure washing. Heavily stained footpaths with a buildup of grime, mould and mud are much more difficult to clean. Cleaning neglected footpaths requires more time and more chemicals to bring it back to looking new again.

Neglected footpaths give an overall unkempt look to homes and business’s and can decrease the curb appeal of these properties. In a competitive real estate market, homes and buisiness property’s in a well-maintained neighbourhood have an advantage. They are more likely to sell at top dollar and spend fewer days on the market.
