House Washing in Ohauiti, Tauriko, Brookfield & Parkvale: Combat Dust, Mold & Urban Grime

As Tauranga continues to expand, suburbs like Ohauiti, Tauriko, Brookfield, and Parkvale are seeing rapid growth, construction, and increased exposure to dust, pollutants, and moisture. For homeowners in these areas, regular house washing is a must—not just for appearance, but for protection against long-term damage.

In this blog, we focus on the specific house washing needs of these fast-growing and mixed-terrain suburbs, and why professional soft washing is the best solution for preserving your property.

Why You Can’t Ignore Exterior Cleaning in These Suburbs

Whether you’re tucked away in the hills of Ohauiti, near industrial zones in Tauriko, or on shaded city streets in Brookfield, your home is constantly exposed to:

• Airborne dust and pollen
• Mold and mildew on shaded walls
• Construction debris and road grime
• Coastal moisture and humidity
• Cobwebs, insect markings, and water stains

If left untreated, this buildup leads to:

• Premature paint deterioration
• Staining on plaster, brick, or weatherboard
• Clogged gutterlines and fascia rot
• Reduced property value and curb appeal

Why Soft Washing Is the Answer

At Metro Water Blasting Tauranga, we don’t use harsh pressure on homes. Instead, we apply a soft wash system that gently but effectively removes all exterior contaminants.

✅ Biodegradable, cladding-safe detergent
✅ Kills mold, algae, and lichen at the source
✅ Safe on painted, plastered, and timber surfaces
✅ Prevents damage to seals, trims, and weatherboards

Suburb Focus: What Each Area Faces

Ohauiti

Set in the hills and bush, Ohauiti homes collect tree debris, mildew, and water streaks—especially on southern-facing walls and shaded corners.

✔ Wash every 12 months
✔ Combine with gutter cleaning to prevent downpipe backups

Tauriko

Close to industrial areas and major roads, Tauriko properties suffer from construction dust, black grime, and airborne pollutants.

✔ Wash every 9–12 months
✔ Ideal to pair with concrete cleaning for driveways and paved areas

Brookfield

This central suburb features mature trees and older homes that often suffer from mold growth, algae, and weathering on plaster or weatherboard exteriors.

✔ Annual wash strongly recommended
✔ Add roof cleaning if moss or lichen is visible

Parkvale

A mix of older and newer homes on narrow, shaded streets leads to dust, mildew, and overflow staining on exterior cladding and trims.

✔ Wash every 12–18 months
✔ Check gutters and baseboards for signs of water runoff
