Siding is constantly exposed to moisture, shade, pollen, and airborne debris. Over time, this creates streaks, green growth, and dark discoloration that slowly spreads across the home.
Many homeowners delay cleaning because they’re afraid pressure washing will cause damage. The good news is — professional house washing doesn’t rely on high pressure at all.
Traditional pressure washing uses force to blast dirt away. While this may work on concrete, it’s risky for siding.
High pressure can:
This is why siding requires a completely different approach.
House washing uses a low-pressure soft washing method. Instead of relying on force, it uses specialized cleaning solutions that break down algae, mildew, and grime at the root.
Once treated, buildup releases naturally from the surface and is gently rinsed away without damage.
Algae and mildew reproduce through microscopic spores. Pressure washing may remove what you see, but it doesn’t kill the spores — which is why stains return quickly.
House washing:
The results last longer because the source is treated.
House washing is safe and effective for:
Each surface is cleaned using appropriate solutions and pressure levels.
DIY attempts often involve rental pressure washers or harsh chemicals. This can lead to streaking, uneven color, or hidden water damage.
Professional house washing ensures:
It removes risk while delivering better results.
Low pressure prevents damage.
Restores color and brightness.
Removes moisture-holding growth.
Clean siding stays cleaner longer.
Most homes benefit from professional house washing once per year. Homes in shaded or humid areas may require cleaning every 6–9 months.
Routine washing prevents heavy buildup and staining.
Clean siding instantly boosts curb appeal. Homes look newer, better cared for, and more inviting.
Whether preparing to sell or simply maintaining the property, house washing delivers noticeable value.
Professional methods kill algae and mildew at the root instead of just removing surface stains. This keeps siding cleaner for longer periods.
Proper technique also avoids damage that accelerates re-soiling.
Waiting too long allows buildup to embed deeper and become harder to remove. Preventative house washing keeps cleaning gentle and cost-effective.
It’s easier to maintain than to restore.
If your home’s siding looks green, dark, or streaked, professional house washing can restore it safely without risk.
