Mold on siding is more than simply an eyesore—it can indicate underlying moisture issues and cause long-term harm to your home’s exterior. But how does mold look, and what is the best technique to get rid of it? Keep reading to learn more.
What Does Mold Look Like on Siding?
Mold on siding typically appears as black, green, or brown streaks or patches. Mold, unlike dirt or dust, grows in shaded, moist locations and can feel sticky or fuzzy to the touch. It typically grows on vinyl, wood, or aluminum siding, particularly in areas where rainfall accumulates or air circulation is poor. If left unchecked, it will discolor your siding, destroy materials, and pose health issues.
How Does Siding Cleaning Get Rid of Mold?
Our team at Clear View Softwashing offers a wide range of soft washing services, including siding cleaning. Soft washing is a highly effective and safe way to remove mold without causing damage to your home’s exterior. Unlike pressure washing, which uses high-pressure water that can shatter or warp siding, soft washing uses a low-pressure stream in combination with specialized cleaning solutions. These solutions are intended to break down organic development such as mold, mildew, algae, and even bacteria.
Getting to the Root of the Issue
Our soft wash approach removes visible mold while also killing spores at the root, limiting rapid regrowth. When we’re finished, your siding appears revitalized and remains cleaner for longer. In fact, soft washing lasts four to six times longer than other cleaning methods.
