Measuring Areas for Cleaning

1. Concrete Surfaces (driveways, patios, walkways)

1. Grab a tape measure (feet/inches).
2. Measure the length — one side, end to end.
3. Measure the width — the other side.
4. Multiply length × width.
   Example: 20 ft × 10 ft = 200 sq ft.
5. If it’s not a rectangle, break it into smaller sections and add them together.

2. House Walls (exterior washing)

1. Measure each side of the house and add them together (perimeter).
   Example: 40 + 30 + 40 + 30 = 140 ft.
2. Estimate height (1 story ≈ 10 ft, 2 story ≈ 20 ft).
3. Multiply perimeter × height.
   Example: 140 ft × 20 ft = 2,800 sq ft.
4. Add any extra sections that stick out.

3. Fence / Gutters

• Measure the total length along the edges.
• This is often close to your home’s perimeter.
  Example: 40 + 30 + 40 + 30 = 140 ft.

Quick Tips

• Round to the nearest foot — it doesn’t need to be perfect.
• For rough estimates, walk heel-to-toe (≈ 1 ft per step).
• Add sections together if the shape isn’t simple.
