Recommended frequency of washing block of flats facades – how to plan maintenance?
When and how often should you wash the facade?

In the Tricity, where weather conditions can be difficult, regular cleaning is crucial. In coastal cities, such as Gdynia whether Gdansk, damp, salt and smog affect the condition of the facade, so it is recommended to clean them at least once a year.
Factors influencing washing frequency
- Building location – Buildings near the sea or busy streets may require more frequent washing.
- Material type – Some materials (e.g. plaster, brick) are more prone to dirt accumulation.
