Siding Cleaning: Why It Matters and How We Do It
Ever glance at your house and notice the paint looking dull or spots of mildew on the walls? That’s siding that needs cleaning. A clean surface not only looks better, it protects the material from water damage and extends its life. At Dandy Fox Cleaning Services we make siding cleaning quick, safe and affordable.
Siding comes in many forms – vinyl, wood, brick or fiber‑cement. Each type attracts dust, pollen, bird droppings and sometimes mold. Over time those deposits can trap moisture, leading to rot or chalky paint loss. Spotting the problem early means you avoid costly repairs later.
Common Siding Problems You’ll Notice
Typical signs that your siding needs a good wash are streaky spots, dark streaks near the ground, and a gritty feel when you run your hand over it. Mold shows up as black or green patches, especially in shady areas. If water beads up and rolls off instead of soaking in, the surface is still clean. Anything else usually means it’s time for a professional touch.
Many homeowners try DIY methods with a garden hose and a bucket of soap. While that can clear light dust, it often leaves residue, scratches delicate panels or misses stubborn grime. Without the right pressure and cleaning solutions, you might end up spreading the dirt rather than removing it.
Our Professional Siding Cleaning Process
We start with a visual inspection to note problem areas and choose the right cleaner for your material. Then a low‑pressure rinse removes loose debris, followed by a targeted application of an eco‑friendly solution that breaks down oil, algae and mold. Finally a high‑pressure wash lifts the grime, and we rinse again to leave a spotless finish.
All our technicians are trained to protect windows, doors and landscaping while they work. We use soft‑bristle brushes for wood siding to avoid scratches, and we mask electrical outlets for safety. The result is a uniform, bright appearance without any damage.
Pricing depends on the size of the house, siding type and how dirty it is. Most jobs finish in a few hours, and we give you a clear quote before we start. You won’t see surprise fees – just a fair rate for a thorough job.
