Wishing you a happy Easter from all of us at Complete Power Wash!

For us at Complete Power Wash in Hagerstown, MD, it’s a time to reflect on a special blessing, because of the Easter season. That blessing is knowing and understanding the ultimate sacrifice that God made and the victory of an empty grave.
Did You Know: Easter is a Christian holiday that celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. In the Bible’s New Testament, the resurrection occurred three days after Jesus was crucified by the Romans and died in roughly 30 A.D. The Easter holiday concludes the “Passion of Christ,” a series of events and holidays that begins with Lent—a 40-day period of fasting, prayer and sacrifice—and ends with Holy Week, which includes Holy or Maundy Thursday (the celebration of Jesus’ Last Supper with his 12 Apostles); Good Friday (on which Jesus’ death is observed); and Easter Sunday, also known as Resurrection Sunday.
Interesting Easter Facts: Eggs represent the new life. Eggs are dyed to represent the blood of Christ. And Americans will eat more that 600 million Peeps during the Easter season. Click here to read more Easter facts.
We hope that you will consider the reality of the Easter events as you celebrate with family and friends this coming weekend.

Celebrating World Water Day
World Water Day is March 22nd
Some might say that water is our world, because without it, our job would be much harder. We love pulling up to a dirty house and pressure washing a property back to nearly-new condition. And this is the perfect time of year for such work, because great weather is on the way. The challenge of house washing and cleaning walkways, decks, driveways, roofs and gutters is what motivates our cleaning techs. We’re grateful to have plenty of high-quality water for all of our needs. However, we know this isn’t the case in much of the world.
World Water Day brings attention to the water issues in most of the undeveloped countries around the world. The global water crisis affects 2.2 billion people.
World Water Day and Global Water Crisis
Imagine hiking three miles to collect water. Imagine getting sick from that same water. This is the reality for one-third of the world’s population every day. These are just a few of the facts in developing countries. Other water facts include:
One person dies every 37 seconds from water-related disease.- More than 443 million school days are missed each school year due to the global water crisis.
- Half of the hospital beds in a developing country are filled with patients suffering from water-related illness.

#WorldWaterDay
Irish Eyes See Spring in the Near Future
March brings St. Patrick’s Day, Spring and Pressure Washing Weather
Going from February to March on the clock happens in seconds. But in many minds, it’s a huge leap forward toward the spring weather and outdoor fun. And everyone thinks of fun differently, because everyone is in a different stage of life. Some think about warm days and laying by the pool. Some think of 
vacationing, usually to a place with a pool. Pools are popular! Still others are thinking about working in the yard to get the house looking great. And it’s not just about the result, it’s about the journey.
For those who love weeding, planting and making their house a showcase in the neighborhood, we want to help. Our softwash pressure washing technique will safely wash away the dirt, grime and nastiness from at least the last six months. The gentle, environmentally-friendly detergents are safe for plants ready to bloom. The soft water pressure won’t hurt landscape that is tight to the home. Our softwash experts and your green thumb will have the neighbors green with envy. Complete Power Wash trains each tech to clean correctly and clean up the work area for a beautiful zone.
Spring Starts on March 21st
Did You Know that Spring refers to the season of rebirth, rejuvenation, renewal, resurrection and regrowth. Swedish meteorologists define the beginning of Spring as the first occasion on which the average daytime temperature exceeds zero degrees Celsius for seven consecutive days. Because of this, the date varies with latitude and elevation. In Persian culture the first day of Spring is the first day of the first month (called Farvardin) which begins on March 20th.
But before you usher in the green of Spring, celebrate the life of St. Patrick with some green accessories.
St. Patrick’s Day Trivia
Did You ALSO Know that Saint Patrick’s Day is also known as the Feast of Saint Patrick? The cultural celebration is held on March 17th, the traditional death date of Saint Patrick (c. AD 385–461). He is regarded as the foremost patron saint of Ireland. Saint Patrick’s Day was made an official Christian feast day in the early 17th century and is observed by the Catholic Church and other church denominations. The day commemorates Saint Patrick and the arrival of Christianity in Ireland.

money wisely, making the most of your treasure. Are you getting enough back to do a major upgrade? If so, congratulations!

What’s the Harm in Green Patches and Black Streaks on my House?
If you house has green patches and black streaks, it’s not just ugly. These colors also represent damage, much like a bruise. But while a bruise will go away, these continue to stay and spread and break down 
building materials. Do you have any black and green stains? If the answer is “yes,” your house has a build up of grime, mildew, algae and other damaging elements. If the answer is “yes,” then you should seriously consider a professional pressure washing by the cleaning experts at Complete Power Wash.
Our cleaning techs use of the softwash technique for the cleaning of driveways, sidewalks, siding, roofing materials, gutters, fences, decks and more. Softwash is the combination of gentle water pressure and environmentally-safe detergents. It is the safest and best way to pressure wash. A thorough cleaning will not only make all the surfaces shine like new, but will also remove the microbes that can cause airborne health issues for your family. Buildup on outdoor living spaces and water that invades outer walls are the biggest personal health hazards.

Softwash to Keep Your Property Safe
Pressure washing damage can be costly, because replacing building materials is never cheap.
Softwash is the technique true pressure washing professionals use on even the toughest buildup. Complete Power Wash’s cleaning professionals 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. Softwash can even be used to remove graffiti and limits the mess that most amateur power washing companies leave behind.
Homeowners do not want to pay good money and have more of a mess. Click on this link to see pictures of our pressure washing work.

Selling Your House in 2021?
Does your New Year’s resolutions list include selling your house in 2021 and upgrading or downsizing your home?
If you’re planning on selling your house during the spring real estate selling season of 2021, start thinking about what will attract buyers. You should also think about what will discourage buyers. Remember, you’re competing with other properties for sale on the real estate market. There are always 
home improvement projects that can help. Easy upgrades to the interior include a fresh coat of paint, updated lighting fixtures, new vinyl and carpet, refinished hardwoods and de-cluttering. These are all great things to get prospective buyers excited to make an offer. However, don’t forget about curb appeal.
The adage, “You never get a second chance to make a first impression,” is never more true than when selling your house. Low interest rates are keeping the housing market vibrant and bustling. Complete Power Wash can make your Hagerstown, MD-area home look new again. Our techs are cleaning experts when it comes to pressure washing siding, shingles, sidewalks, fences, decks, gutters and more. They can even remove graffiti using the softwash method of cleaning.
Softwash is a Safe Wash

Once the detergent takes affect, the technician can gently wash away the grime with just the right amount of pressure.
Softwash also limits the mess that most amateur power washing companies leave behind. The homeowner does not want to hire a pressure washing company and have a worse-looking property when the bill is paid.

A Look Back at 2020 and Forward with New Year’s Resolutions
The Year 2021 is almost here, along with New Year’s Resolutions and a Look Back at 2020.
The year 2021 is at our doorstep and for many people around the world, it couldn’t get here soon enough. Each new year brings reflections of the last and dreams of what the new one holds.

look forward to what we hope will be a much different year ahead.

The History of Thanksgiving in America
The first Thanksgiving between the Pilgrims and Wampanoag Indians happened in the fall of 1621, about 10 months after the Mayflower landed in Plymouth, MA. Only 44 of the 102 original voyagers were alive due to hardships of the first year. The celebration was for the great harvest, which happened because the Native-American Indians taught them about growing local crops. The Pilgrims were appreciated, because they had helped the Wampanoags fight back a rival tribe that attacked earlier in the year.
