Why Dirt, Mold, and Algae Build Up on Your Home
Wind-blown dirt, pollen, tree sap, cobwebs, and airborne spores settle on siding, trim, and soffits all year long. In shaded or humid spots, that buildup turns into mold, mildew, and black algae streaks that spread fast once they take hold. Left alone, it dulls paint, stains siding permanently, and can break down caulking and trim over time.A garden hose won't touch it, and a rental pressure washer set to full power can do more harm than good, stripping paint, forcing water behind siding, or etching softer materials. That's why Capital Gutters uses a soft wash process built to clean thoroughly without putting your home at risk.
We Use a Soft-Wash Technique
At Capital Gutters, we apply a biodegradable soft wash solution that breaks down mold, mildew, algae, dirt, and cobwebs on contact. Once the solution has had time to work, our team rinses the surface at low pressure instead of blasting it with high-powered equipment. Your home gets just as clean, without the risk of damaged siding, chipped paint, or water forced behind trim and windows.Soft washing is also the safer choice for older homes, painted surfaces, and delicate siding that a standard pressure washer could damage in seconds.
How Often Should You Wash Your Home's Exterior?
Most homes hold up well with a wash once a year. Properties shaded by trees, or walls that stay damp longer, often need attention more often since mold and algae return faster in those spots. If you're seeing green or black streaking, or stains that keep coming back no matter the weather, it's a sign your exterior is due.Stains, Driveways, and Hard Surfaces
Not every stain rinses away with a standard wash. Rust marks, oil spots, and set-in grime on concrete need a different approach. Our team treats leftover stains directly and uses dedicated surface cleaners on driveways, walkways, and other hard surfaces, so the whole property looks consistent, not just the siding.Notice Staining Below Your Gutter Line?
Streaking that runs straight down from the gutters is usually a sign of overflow, not just general dirt. As a gutter company first, Capital Gutters can wash away the staining and take a look at what's causing it, whether that means a gutter cleaning or a gutter cover to stop it from coming back.Trust Capital Gutters for Home Pressure Washing
