5 Signs Your House Is Begging for a Wash (Before Damage Sets In)
Your house might not be able to talk, but if it could? It’d probably be saying:
“Hey... I look like I’ve been through a dust storm and a mold party. Help me out?”
We get it—life is busy. But letting grime and organic growth build up on your home’s exterior doesn’t just hurt curb appeal... it shortens the life of your siding, paint, gutters, and more.
Here are five not-so-subtle signs it’s time to give your home the TrueClean treatment:
1. You’ve Got Green Stuff Where Green Stuff Shouldn’t Be
Mold, mildew, algae—whatever you want to call it, it doesn’t belong on your house. If you’re seeing green streaks or fuzzy buildup on siding, trim, or your roofline, it’s not just gross—it’s slowly eating away at your exterior materials.
TrueClean Insight: Algae loves shady, moist spots—think the north side of the house or anywhere under tree cover.
2. Your Driveway Looks Like a Crime Scene for Oil & Rust
If your driveway or sidewalk has turned from “bright concrete” to “blotchy mystery stains,” it’s not just unsightly—it can be a slip hazard and drag down your home’s first impression.
We’ve got commercial-grade cleaners that lift years of grime in a single session.
3. Your Gutters Are Two-Toned (and Not On Purpose)
Gutter “tiger stripes”—those dark, nasty streaks on the outside of your gutters—aren’t just dirt. They’re a mix of oxidation, roof runoff, and air pollutants, and they make your trim look years older.
Our whitening process restores gutters to a crisp, bright finish—no repainting required.
4. You’re Thinking About Selling (or Just Want to Be Less Embarrassed)
Curb appeal sells houses—and impresses neighbors. If you’re getting ready to list, or just tired of your place looking like the “before” picture in a home improvement ad, a professional cleaning is one of the best returns on investment you can make.
A clean home feels newer, smells fresher, and makes you feel proud to pull in the driveway again.
5. It’s Been More Than a Year Since Your Last Wash (Or… Ever?)
Let’s be real—if you can’t remember the last time your home was cleaned, it’s probably overdue. Dirt, pollen, algae, and pollutants build up slowly. You may not notice the change until after it’s clean and you say:
“Whoa. I forgot it used to look that good.”
