Mailboxes and street curbs sit right where dirt, exhaust, water runoff, and lawn chemicals collect. They’re constantly exposed to passing vehicles, sprinklers, and weather, yet they’re often the most overlooked parts of a property.
Over time, grime builds up quietly. Professional mailbox and curb cleaning removes this buildup and instantly refreshes the street-facing appearance of a home or neighborhood.
Common sources of staining include:
Because these surfaces are low to the ground, they absorb more contaminants than most exterior features.
Even when a home is clean, dirty curbs can make the entire street look neglected. Stained curbs create a visual break between the home and the road, pulling attention away from landscaping and architecture.
Clean curbs frame the property and make everything else look more intentional and well maintained.
Mailboxes are rarely included in routine house washing, yet they sit front and center. Streaks, rust stains, and algae on a mailbox are noticeable from the street.
Professional mailbox cleaning restores color and removes residue without damaging finishes or numbering.
Homeowners often scrub mailboxes or hose down curbs, but this usually results in:
Professional mailbox and curb cleaning uses surface-safe treatments to clean evenly and thoroughly.

This process removes both visible stains and the residue that causes them to return.
Clean curbs and mailboxes brighten the entire frontage.
Clean borders make lawns and plants stand out more.
