You may have seen this in ads or heard it from contractors; "specializing in hot water washing." So is hot water better for house washing Rochester, Indiana homes? What benefit is it to home owners living in Rochester? To answer some of these questions we have asked many other house washing contractors around the country if they use hot water to wash houses. Their answers may amaze you. We actually found very few that use hot water for house washing on a regular basis. But quite a few have tried it in the past. Their feedback was from their experience and was honest.
A major concern that we kept hearing was that hot water can warp vinyl siding. It seems that too hot of water can too quickly change the molecules in the vinyl siding causing a permanent warping effect. Another concern we heard was that hot water alone can be detrimental to the surrounding plants and shrubbery. It makes sense if you think about it.
The real amazing thing was that no contractors found that hot water actually got the house cleaner than using normal temperature water and the proper chemicals. They did report it saved on chemicals costs because the chemicals would spread further, but the cost evened out by the time they paid for fuel for the hot water burner to run. So it didn't make much sense to risk damaging the siding for no reason.
Basically, the end result to the homeowner is the same; a clean house. There is no benefit for the customer whether a house washing company uses hot water or not. What most said was that in their opinion the whole "hot water washing" line is just a marketing gimmick. Customers think they are getting something better when really they aren't. The funny thing is that the companies advertising hot water do not even use hot water most of the time. Like when it is 90 degrees outside, what is the point, right? Be aware of this type of trickery to gain your house washing Rochester business but could actually damage your home.
