Soft Washing to Remove Algae and Clogged Gutter Cleaning

Roy Bielewicz • September 25, 2025

Getting rid of that green algae!

This very orange house had some nasty algae growth on its white trim, as well as some seriously clogged downspouts. The flat roof design, combined with sorrounding oaks, really doesn't do this house any favors. We ended up cleaning the downspouts by hand, as well as using our pressure washer to blow out clogged leaves and debris.


We took care of the algae using a combination of soft wash downstreaming and dedicated soft washing to apply a more aggressive mix of sodium hypochlorite. By the end, the green trim looks sparkling white!
