Mulch is Culprit for Black Dots on Your House
Shotgun Fungus is among the toughest challenges for homeowners and pressure washing companies.
Homeowners love to add mulch to flower beds this time of year. It makes the house look great. But beware, because not all mulch is the same. Pressure washing techs can clean nearly every tough stain on a house, sidewalk, roof, fence, etc…. One of the toughest stains to clean are the little black dots that show up days or weeks after mulch is put down. If you’ve seen these on your home, you’ve likely tried scraping them off with a fingernail until your fingers hurt. And finally, just short of tearing off a nail, gave up in frustration. The best advice is to prevent the fungus from attaching and then spreading.
What Are These Black Dots?
“Shotgun” fungus — also known as Artillery Fungus — originates in mulch. Its name is from the Greek word for “spear thrower,” because of how the black spores are propelled from the ground onto the siding. The spores can launch up to 20 feet high. They will stick to any surface. The spores aren’t harmful, but are extremely difficult to remove.
Unfortunately, it’s impossible to know which mulch is affected. It’s a common misconception that more expensive mulch will be fungus free, or that cheap mulch is more prone to having the fungus. 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 Maryland, the fungus is actively shooting spores for approximately two weeks each year.
Inspection is Better than Cleaning
The obvious solution is found in the wise saying, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” When adding mulch, routinely inspect your home’s exterior after putting it down. As soon as you see the black dots, remove it immediately. After that, you can replace it; remove it and allow it to “season” and put it back; and/or add mushroom compost to the mulch. None of these options has a complete guarantee, but the compost has been shown greatly reduce the fungus’ action.

June Pressure Washing for Summer Fun
June is here, bringing summer fun to your home and yard.
June is here and summer has unofficially begun. Pools are open, schools are closed and many families are on the road to a vacation. Prior to the official 
start of summer (June 21st), there are a few other celebrations to honor your country and your dad. Tuesday, June 14th is Flag Day and five days later dads will be honored. Father’s Day on June 19th is a great time to buy dad a great gift or to enjoy a fun activity with him. These links should provide some ideas to make dad feel special on his day.
The staff at Complete Power Wash in Hagerstown, MD wishes all the dads a great Father’s Day!
June is also National Safety Month. Make sure dad remains injury-free by hiring a professional pressure washing company to clean the house and property. Residential cleaning units have the power to cut through skin and bone. Feet are often the victim, as operators are generally spraying down while cleaning sidewalks, driveways, decks and patios. If you think this an exaggeration, just look at some of the comments below. These were straight from a chat forum entitled, “Pressure Washers, anyone have an accident?”
“I once sprayed my foot by accident. At the emergency room they told me they see three or four pressure washer accident victims a week. The surgeon said, ‘I can’t believe you didn’t do more damage than that.’ I must also add that this was a pretty powerful machine; it’s 4000 PSI and I had it locked on full throttle.”
______________________________________________________
“I went to start one (pressure washing machine) and put my hand on the exhaust for leverage. It had been running just a couple minutes before. I heard it sizzle before I felt it. That hurt!”
The History of Father’s Day
Father’s Day first came to be on June 19, 1910, according to this History.com article. That was two years after a West Virginia church celebrated the fathers lost in a coal mining accident. This is considered the event that lead to the holiday now know as Father’s Day, celebrated annually on the third Sunday of June. It wasn’t until 1972 that it became a recognized holiday by the Federal Government. This was 58 years after Mother’s Day was made a Federal holiday.
Father’s Day Quotes
“Being a dad isn’t easy…but when somebody does it right, it reminds the rest of us what a world-changing difference a good dad can make.“ – Andrew Blackburn
“No matter how small you were, when Dad said, ‘love you,’ you’d feel bigger than the sky.” – Melvina Young
“The best gift a man can give to the world is to be a good father.” – Renee Daniels

Interesting Memorial Day Facts
Did You Know: Memorial Day is Monday, May 27, 2022. The holiday began after the American Civil War in 1868, when the Grand Army of the Republic, an organization of Union veterans established it. It was originally called Decoration Day, because the citizens were encouraged to decorate the graves of those who died in the war. By the 20th Century, competing Union and Confederate holiday traditions merged and Memorial Day honored all Americans killed while in military service.

Pressure Wash in May to be Ready for Summer
Pressure washing your home in May can make your property shine this summer.
This poem by William Hamilton Hayne (1856 – 1929) paints a beautiful picture of this time of year. If Hayne had been an early pressure washer, there might have been verses about algae growing on siding and black-streaked walkways. Actually, the image is of beautiful gardens, likely around a stately home. But gardens aren’t as impressive if that home’s shine is dulled by the build up of dirt, grime and other natural elements. And many don’t realize those elements can add to your home’s aging process. It’s ugly and destructive to your biggest investment.
We’ll let you cultivate the beautiful garden and grow the roses, while the Complete Power Wash techs pressure wash your home. This professional cleaning can make your home look new again.

Gutters Have an Important Job for Your Home’s Health
Clean gutters keep your home dry and safe from harmful elements.
The East has had it’s share of moisture this spring, following a winter with quite a bit of snow. Many in the Tri-state area of Maryland, West Virginia and Pennsylvania can argue that winter refuses to take the hint and go away. No matter the temperature or the form in which that moisture falls on your roof, 
your gutters need to be in good-working order. The problem is that most people can’t see inside their gutters. And if you can’t see it you just don’t take notice of such a problem until it’s too late.
Snows and rain bring lots of “junk” that clogs gutters. Spring showers bring lots of rain. Many may hear the rain on the roof and never think about the amount of water running into the gutter system. They don’t think about it, that is, until the water is running OVER the gutters, finding its way inside the house. However, they will think about it once mold starts growing and causing other issues. And mold remediation is not easy and is not cheap!
Health Problems Caused by Clogged Gutters
The professionals at Complete Power Wash (CPW) in Hagerstown, MD know how important it is to keep gutters clean and functioning at an optimal 
level. This is why they offer gutter cleaning as part of their house washing service. They know that mildew and other fungi can cause serious health risks, such as severe allergies that result in respiratory distress. Asthma attacks are the most serious. For most who suffer from asthma, it is simply the need to get medical assistance from a rescue inhaler. More severe attacks can cause hospitalization or even death.
It’s one thing to see the black mold spores, but it’s more of a mystery when the mold is trapped between the inside and outside walls. This can lead to poor air quality that silently affects those who have reactions. It’s important to prevent it, because mold is always bad when it impacts your home’s indoor air quality.
In addition to health concerns, misdirected rain water can damage your home’s valuable structure. The wood facia board behind the gutters can rot. The house’s exterior walls can be damaged, even if is covered in siding or brick. Decks can be compromised. And, if the water continues to pool around the base of the house, the foundation can be weakened. Water always has to go somewhere and you want to guide it away from your valuable investment.
Complete Power Wash‘s techs will make sure the gutters are clean inside and out. Many homeowners are amazed by the house’s transformation, since the gutters are the “framework” of a home. And, if you’re selling your home in the busy spring market, you can bet prospective buyers will notice. It could be the difference in the first impression that happens when a realtor brings prospective buyers into the driveway. Make sure the first impression is the best one possible!

Tax Return Money Can Help Restore Your Home’s Beauty
Tax return season is a great time to “upgrade” your home, and pressure washing is the easiest way to make your home look new again.
The W-2 deadline passed a month ago and many immediately started the process of rapid tax returns. Electronic filing means that some refunds are already hitting bank accounts in the Tri-state area. This means that decisions are being made. Before you are start online shopping or measuring that wall for an oversized tv, consider the best use for those funds. We suggest you inspect your home’s exterior and consider its pressure washing needs at this moment.
Now is the time to be thinking about a wise way to invest some of that tax return money in your biggest investment. Many people rarely take a step back and look at the reason you work each day to pay the largest bill in your budget. Your home should be clean and taken care of for its protection. It may also be your greatest asset.
How does your siding look? Are your shingles all the same color? Does your deck have “custom designs” in black and green? Do your sidewalks offer a gleaming “welcome” sign to your guests, because they are as clean as when they were first poured? If you are not completely happy with any of the answers to these questions, call Compete Power Wash for a professional cleaning.
What’s So Bad About a Dirty House?
It your house is dirty, you’re actually seeing harmful elements growing on the surfaces around your home? If your home’s exterior is a different color than when you moved in, you should be concerned. These color changes are a build up of grime, mildew, algae and other elements that can be costly in the 
long run. CPW‘s techs use of the softwash technique — low water pressure and gentle detergents — is best for the cleaning of concrete, siding, roofing materials, gutters, fences, decks and more.
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 inside your home. Buildup on outdoor living spaces and water that invades outer walls are the biggest personal health hazards. That’s why you hire a professional. A professional will make sure the gutters are clean and the cleaning process is done to keep water on the outside of the exterior walls.
Clean gutters will ensure that rain water flows away from your home, and not into it. It takes very little moisture for mold and mildew to take hold and then cause thousands of dollars in damage. That damage can lead to even bigger issues, like the triggering asthma attacks.

February is for Love…of a Clean Home!
February is known as the “Love Month,” and we want you to love your clean house this Spring.
It all began when the Feast of Saint Valentine was established by Pope Gelasius I in AD 496, celebrated on February 14, in honor of Valentine of Rome 
who died on the same date in AD 269 and became a martyred saint. So the date — which is now synonymous with Valentine’s Day — has significance, but it was in the 14th Century when it became associated with romantic love. If you would like to learn more about the second and shortest month of year, read a little further.
Now let’s discuss how you can soon love your home’s exterior. You will love the way your siding, gutters, sidewalks, roof, fence panels, etc…look when the Complete Power Wash techs finish pressure washing at your address. You will also love their use of the softwash technique. This allows the tech to use cleaning agents and — depending on the surface — the correct water pressure to clean without the risk of damage. This is the main difference between professional pressure washing company and the amateurs.
And the damage by those attempting to “blast away” the dirt and grime can be costly. Imagine the cost to repair or REPLACE scarred siding, deck boards, shingles and even concrete. Thankfully, when it’s time to hire the right company, you can look for online reviews and galleries of previous work. Right now you can inspect your siding, sidewalks, deck and roof for signs of algae and grime buildup, since those elements take away from a home’s beauty. The techs at Complete Power Wash are ready to come out and help…as soon as the weather breaks and says, “LET’S CLEAN!“
And while you’re considering that call or email to schedule your pressure washing appointment, read this interesting trivia about the second month of the year. Fact: February was not always the second month of the year.
Other Reasons to Love February
- February was originally the last month of the calendar year. It was eventually moved in 450 B.C. to its place as the second month. This was done so the calendar would reflect a standard lunar year.
February is packed with holidays and history. February 2nd is Groundhog Day; the 12th is Abraham Lincoln‘s birthday; the 14th is St. Valentine’s Day; the 15th is Chinese New Year and Susan B. Anthony‘s birthday; the 18th is President’s Day.
and the 22nd is George Washington’s birthday.- The month of February is the only month that can pass without a full moon, in common years. The last time we witnessed such a scenario was last year (2018).
- In common years, February starts on the same day of the week as March and November, and on leap years, it starts with the same day of the week as August.
- February is American Heart Month; Black History Month; Bird-Feeding Month; and Dental Health Month.
- Amethyst is the birthstone for those born in the month.
- The Violet and the Primrose are the flowers for February.
- February is named for the Latin word februum, which means purification.
And, the second month of the year is a day longer every four years. Do you know why? It’s because a common year has 365 days and a leap year 366 days, with the extra day designated as February 29th. A leap year occurs every four years to help synchronize the calendar year with the solar year, or the 
length of time it takes the earth to complete its orbit around the sun, which is about 365¼ days.
