Pressure Washing this Spring

We at Complete Pressure Washing want to schedule you — weather permitting — for an early spring cleaning. Our techs would love to bring their softwash expertise and help you have the best-looking home in your neighborhood. Even if the plants are starting to bloom, our use of gentle water pressure and environmentally-safe detergents won’t interrupt their progress. Just imagine green grass and colorful plants and trees framing a freshly-cleaned home in the greater Hagerstown, MD area. We think there are few things more beautiful.
If this sounds good to you, contact us here for questions or to schedule an appointment. We’re happy to provide a free estimate, because our price for the value is a great deal.
In the meantime, we hope you and your family have a happy February!
Shotgun Fungus is a Tough Foe for Pressure Washers
Complete Power Wash techs successfully clean the toughest elements that nature can bring to the exterior of a home. But Shotgun Fungus is the toughest.
Our pressure washing techs can clean nearly every tough stain found on a house, roof, deck, fence, etc… in the greater Hagerstown, MD area. One of the toughest are the little black dots, often found on vinyl siding. If you’ve seen these on your home, you likely tried scraping them off with a fingernail. And then tried scraping harder. And finally, just short of tearing off a nail, gave up in frustration. The best advice we give is to prevent the fungus from attaching and then spreading.
What Are These Black Dots?
“Shotgun” fungus (Sphaerobolus stellatus) — also know as Artillery Fungus — originates in the mulch often found in flower beds next to a home. Its name is derived from the Greek for “spear thrower,” as it indicates how the black spores are propelled from the ground to the home’s siding. The launch can spray up to 20 feet high. The spores are extremely adhesive and will stick to any surface. The spores aren’t harmful, but are extremely difficult to remove. The black dots resemble an artillery spray, or shotgun blast, hence the name.
What Causes Shotgun Fungus?
It is a common misconception that more expensive mulch will be fungus free, or that cheap mulch is more prone to having the fungus in it. This is simply not true. Artillery fungus can infect any organic mulch, and under the right conditions it will flourish and create a pesky problem. Artillery fungus thrives in cool, moist, shady areas. If you have the telltale black dots on your home, you will notice that they are located above mulched areas where the fungus has shot their spores. In the Tri-state area on Maryland, Pennsylvania and West Virginia, the fungus is actively shooting spores for approximately 2 weeks each year. Until action is taken, the dots will accumulate, getting worse every year.
What Is The Solution For Artillery Fungus?
At this time, Complete Power Wash has no recommended solution for the removal of the fungus spores, however we can tell you how to stop them from getting worse. Unfortunately, pressure washing does not remove the spores. Some people have had luck using abrasive cleaning sponges and elbow grease. The first step is to remove the infected mulch by raking and disposing. The second step is to replace the organic mulch with an inorganic material like rubber mulch or stone. This is the only way to ensure that the mulch is completely removed. Some people have had success smothering the fungus with plastic, or adding more mulch to the old mulch. We do not recommend this, as it rarely works.
Inspection is Better than Cleaning
The obvious solution is found in the wise saying, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound on cure.” If you must have mulch next to your house, routinely inspect the siding after putting down new mulch. As soon as you see the black dots, remove it immediately.

New Year’s Resolutions and a Look Back at 2019
The new year is here and so are the New Year’s Resolutions that will shape 2020.
Each new year brings reflections on the old year passing and dreams of the new one to come. We are so thankful for another year of helping others and seeing our business grow and improve. We met many new friends in 2019 and hope those will become life-long connections. As folks are sitting down now to make their New Year’s Resolutions for 2020, we thought it would be fun to see the wisdom the internet holds for such suggestions. The typical ones of losing weight, eating better, going to church, saving money, exercising more, etc… have been replaced. The ones we found achieve similar results, but in smaller “bites,” you could say. These include building a better budget; eating vegetables regularly; doing one new exercise; etc…. To learn more, read the full article here.
If your resolutions include beautifying your home in 2020, please let us help. Our pressure washing experts know how to clean the exterior of your home and do it the right way. The right way includes using a softwash approach that will clean all surfaces — shingles, gutters, siding, walkways, awnings, fences and more — without damage.

Christmas Traditions from Around the World
UKRAINE
Celebrations of Christmas around the world often include acts of charity. Ukrainians traditionally hang spider web-shaped decorations on the tree. This reflects their legend of the poor widow who didn’t have enough money to decorate her tree, but when her children awoke on Christmas day, the tree was covered in webs that glistened gold and silver in the new day’s light.
JAMAICA
Jamaicans dress in elaborate costumes to celebrate Christmas with parades and “Junkanoo” dancers, which is based on African dances. The December 26th festival may have started as early as the 16th Century.
SPAIN
The Spanish dish, turrón, a sweet dish made from honey, egg white, sugar, and toasted almonds, is served during Christmas. Recipes date back to the 16th Century.
GREAT BRITAIN
Mistletoe was first hung as a Christmas decoration in Great Britain. However, the tradition of kissing under the mistletoe is thought to have originated in other parts of Europe.
HOLLAND
Children in Holland receive presents from Sinterklaas on December 5, rather than on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. And if they leave carrots for Sinterklaas’s horse, he’ll leave sweets for the kids.
ICELAND
Thirteen jólasveinarnir, or “Christmas Lads,” deliver presents to children in Iceland. Originally, the Christmas Lads were pranksters. Each showed up on a specific day around Christmas and performed a trick.
JAPAN
Children in Japan receive their Christmas presents on their pillow during Christmas night. Many Japanese families serve fried chicken as their traditional Christmas meal.
NORWAY
In Norway, people hide all the brooms in the house on Christmas Eve to prevent witches from stealing them for a midnight ride. It’s also a Christmas Eve tradition to leave a bowl of porridge in the barn for the gnome who protects the farm.
GERMANY
In Germany, it is traditional for children to decorate their Christmas lists with pictures and then leave them on the windowsill overnight. Then, the Christkind delivers gifts at Christmas. Also in Germany, it’s a tradition to leave a shoe or boot outside the front door on December 5, so that Sinterklaas will put small presents in their shoes for the following morning (Saint Nicholas Day).
RUSSIA
Here, Christmas is celebrated on January 7, and Babouschka brings gifts to children. Babouschka, meaning old woman or grandmother in Russian, is based on the biblical story of the woman who didn’t give a gift to the baby Jesus. So, to repent, she gives gifts to children. Wonder why we celebrate Christmas on December 25 anyway? Here’s where the tradition came from.
POLAND
The traditional Christmas meal in Poland is called the Wigilia. Held on Christmas Eve, Wigilia is derived from the Latin phrase “to watch.” Families here believe that what happens during Wigilia festivities predicts the coming year.
ITALY
Italian families celebrate Christmas Eve with the Feast of the Seven Fishes and eat lentils during the holiday season to ensure luck and wealth for the following year. The children in Italy receive gifts from La Befana during Christmas.
IRELAND
It’s traditional for Irish families to leave out mince pies and pint of Guinness as a snack for Santa. As kids get older, this tradition may come to an end and continue to be passed on. Learn about what to say when your child asks, “Is Santa real?”
FINLAND
In Finland, families decorate the holiday tree with geometric mobiles made out of straw. It’s also customary to enjoy a sauna on Christmas Eve before Santa’s visit; according to the ancient custom, this ritual cleanses the body and mind.
Merry Christmas!
Our services include roof cleaning and deck and patio cleaning. Our techs are also trained in commercial and industrial power washing, using the softwash approach to clean. This technique of gentle water pressure and environmentally-friendly detergents is the safest and best way to pressure wash.

Welcome to December!
Welcome to December, along with holidays, the end of another year and start of 2020.
December can be such a great month, as long as you plan it well and execute the plan with precision. After all, there are decorations to be put up, shopping to be done, bowl games to watch, family to be entertained, holidays to be enjoyed, and — if there is time left — relaxing to be done. It is a busy month, but there are ways to get all of this done. Here is a link to a helpful article for some assistance, because we want you to enjoy this time of year.
Another way we want to help ease the burden of a busy life is to pressure wash the outside of your house, because you want the friends and family walking up to a freshly scrubbed sidewalk and house. We still have some openings in our techs’ schedules. But, if you want your walkways, siding, deck, driveway, roof or anything else cleaned before Christmas, don’t wait, because bad weather can make the schedule very tight.

Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving and thank you for a great year.
Did You Know This About Thanksgiving?
1. What year was the celebration that is most commonly considered to be the first Thanksgiving?
A: 1621. This is the celebration that people most often talk about when they are talking about the “first” Thanksgiving. But there are others that are claimed to be the first Thanksgiving. There was another celebration in Plymouth in 1623 and one in Boston in 1631 that people claim was the actual first Thanksgiving.
2. How long did the first Thanksgiving celebration last?
A: Three days. It was celebrated much earlier than our current celebration, possibly in late September. There were about 50 European settlers and around 90 native Americans (from the Wampanoag tribe) who attended the multi-day feast.
3. Under which president did Thanksgiving become an annual holiday?
A: Abraham Lincoln. The U.S. has celebrated Thanksgiving off and on since 1774. On November, 26, 1789 George Washington made a proclamation that the country would celebrate a day of thanksgiving to God. Lincoln proclaimed Thanksgiving a national holiday after Sarah Joseph Hale, the woman who wrote “Mary Had A Little Lamb,” convinced Lincoln to make Thanksgiving a national holiday. That came after writing letters to him for 17 years.
4. Was turkey served at the first Thanksgiving?
A: Turkey wasn’t served at the first Thanksgiving. Legend has it that venison, duck, goose, oysters, lobster, eel, and fish were shared, along with pumpkins and cranberries. Surprisingly, it is believed that the pumpkins were served in a stew and in pies, although slightly different than we make today.
5. Which president was the first to give a turkey a presidential pardon?
A: Ronald Reagan. John F. Kennedy was the first president on record for unofficially sparing a Turkey in 1963. The Reagan administration in 1987 gave the first official presidential pardon to a turkey as a joke. The turkey was spared and put into a petting zoo. George H. Bush made it an annual tradition in 1989 and each president since has carried on the tradition.

Pressure Washing Before the Holidays
Schedule your pressure washing appointment now and be ready for the holiday guests.
“Its beginning to look a lot like…” Well, it’s ALMOST that time of year. The time of year when Thanksgiving and Christmas decorations come out and professional power washing companies put away there equipment until spring. Soon, most of the leaves will have fallen, the nights are getting colder and the holidays — beyond Halloween — will be in view.
Is your sidewalk clean or is it scary, as thought it’s decorated for Halloween? Do you want it sparkling, like the lights on a Christmas tree? What will your relatives and friends find when they approach your door in a few weeks?
The technicians at Complete Power Wash in Hagerstown, MD haven’t packed up their pressure washing equipment for 2019.

Professional Softwash, Not Amateur Pressure Wash
The softwash technique is the best way to safely clean a house or commercial building
“Grime needs to be blasted away!” is what you will here from some pressure washing “professionals.”
DO NOT listen to these so-called professionals.
Most people — including fly-by-night pressure washers — think the best way to pressure wash is to use high-powered water pressure, because it is tough cleaning. The problem is, the grime and part of your surface usually leave together. If you don’t believe us, just look at the photos in this article.
Pressure washing damage can be costly, because replacing building materials is never cheap.
Softwash is the technique most true pressure washing professionals use on even the toughest buildup. The professionals at Complete Power Wash in Hagerstown, MD are trained in the best way to use softwash. Our techs use “just the right water pressure,” combined with gentle, environmentally-friendly detergents. These detergents are used to weaken the grip of dirt, mold, mildew and other natural elements. Once the detergent takes affect, the technician can gently wash away the grime. We can even remove graffiti.
Softwash also limits the mess that most amateur power washing companies leave behind. The homeowner does not want to pay good money and have more of a mess.
Blasting Away Pressure Washing Problems
The most-costly damage done by inexperienced technicians is done to shingles and other roofing materials. This damage can be during the job and even later, because damaged shingles can shorten the life of a roof, which can allow rain, sleet and snow to seep in and damage the wood sheathing. Moisture in an attic can lead even bigger problems. The integrity of the roof — except for a home’s foundation — is the most important part of the exterior structure.
Other common mistakes in the pressure-washing world include the scarring of wood, concrete and siding. Even brick can be ruined by an amateur. Commercial pressure washing and personal use machines have enough concentrated power to blast into decks and driveways. Once lines are carved into such materials, a professional will likely have to fix the damage.
And imagine what happens when that kind of water pressure is used on vinyl siding. Often the damage is not just seen on the outside, but felt under the covering. As the water pushes on the flexible material, it can find its way in the gaps and seams of the siding. Then the water is trapped between the siding and home’s outer wall. This can be a perfect scenario for mold and mildew to take hold, which can cause lots of costly problems, including poor interior air quality. This can trigger asthma and other respiratory problems.
Our technicians are trained to pressure wash your home the right way. When they finish a job, everything looks better and the environment left healthy. And, our techs leave the grounds clean and tidy. To schedule a

Welcome to the Fall Season!
The Entire Team at Complete Power Wash Welcome the Fall Season and its Beautiful Weather
We love the fall season, because the hot summer days are behind us. We love this season because we can now help homeowners get ready for the holiday season, and what we hope will be a short winter. So if your sidewalks or siding are not “up for entertaining,” please let us help get them ready. Our technicians will bring our professional equipment and their years of cleaning expertise and have your home ready quickly. Along with the professional equipment, they use the softwash technique to clean your property safely.
Most amateurs try and blast dirt, grime and algae away. The problem is, as they blast away the filth, they also blast INTO the surfaces. The scarring of concrete, wood and other building materials can be VERY costly!
Gutter Cleaning is Essential
One area of your home that needs to be clean before winter is the gutters. Most homeowners don’t even think about gutters until there’s a problem. Then it’s too late, because water can find lots of places to go if not channeled away from the house. Sticks, leafs and acorns can quickly clog gutters and downspouts. Many people think water will just flow around it, but heavy rains can back up in a hurry.
If water backs up, it will overflow, run down the walls and likely come inside your home. And, if you live where it snows, backed up water freezes and snow can back up under shingles. This can lead to damage inside and outside of your home, negatively impacting your roofing materials.
Contact us today online or by calling us at 301.842.2290 for an estimate to pressure wash your Hagerstown-area home. We’re also happy to answer questions, so you can make a wise choice about your home’s care.
Fall Season Facts
Historically “Fall” was called “Harvest,” because of the harvest season that occurs during these months.
Fall Is caused by the Earth’s tilt, not the planet’s distance from the sun. When the northern hemisphere tilts towards the sun, we get warmer and then colder as it tilts away.
Weight gain around this time of year may not only from food. Researchers have found that lack of vitamin D — which the sun helps your body produce — reduces fat breakdown and triggers fat storage. So you can’t completely blame all the pumpkin-spice drinks and desserts.
Fall colors are caused by the amount of sugar in leaves. The more red in the leaf, the more sugar that leaf is storing.
Fall tourism — or “leaf peeping” — brings in big money, around $3 billion annually to the New England states.
People with fall birthdays are statistically better students and live longer, according to a UK Department of education and the University of Chicago study.
