Dirty House? Fight Back Against Algae, Mold, and Mildew

Is your house looking a little dusty? dirty? grimey?

Do you have green, brown, and black streaks or stains on your siding and gutters?

Mold, mildew, and algae can make your home look dirty and run-down. It’s important to remove these stains to keep the look of your home fresh and clean.

First let’s identify what type of “junk” you’re dealing with…

What Makes a Dirty House?

Algae

Algae is caused by dirt, dust, and grime that naturally accumulates on your home.
These things cause algae to grow because it feeds on it.
The stains can look green or brown.
Long term effects could be permanent staining.

Mold/Mildew

Mold and mildew can be caused by several factors: moisture/humidity, lack of sunlight, and dirt build up.
Stains look black or brown.
Mold can be dangerous for allergy-sufferers and can also cause structural damage to the home if left unattended
