If you live in the North Georgia mountains, you know the yellow coating that shows up every spring. Pine pollen can cover cars, porches, decks, patio furniture, walkways, and just about anything left outside.
Pine pollen usually lasts for several weeks. As tempting as it is to clean everything as soon as it appears, it is often best to wait until the heaviest pollen has finished falling. Otherwise, outdoor surfaces may be covered again within minutes or hours.
Once the pollen slows down, it is a good time to clean the areas where it has collected. Pressure washing decks, porches, walkways, and other outdoor surfaces can help remove the buildup and reduce how much pollen gets tracked indoors.
Pollen can also settle inside the home on floors, furniture, rugs, and other surfaces. A thorough indoor cleaning can help remove pollen residue and freshen the home after the spring season.
Helpful indoor cleaning steps include:
- Vacuuming carpets and rugs
- Mopping hard floors
- Dusting surfaces with a damp cloth
- Cleaning entry areas where pollen is tracked inside
