Columbia Power Washing Pros Gutter Brightening
Gutter Brightening in Columbia, SC
Gutter brightening removes the black "tiger stripes" on the outside face of white and light-colored gutters that a regular house wash won't touch. Columbia Power Washing Pros connects homeowners in Columbia, SC with local crews who use a dedicated cleaner and hand work to bring gutters back to bright, often as an add-on to a house or roof wash.

What Tiger Stripes Are
Those dark streaks running down the face of a gutter are oxidation and grime bonded to the gutter's finish. Water spilling over the edge leaves a trail of dirt, and over time it bakes in. Pressure alone won't lift it, and scrubbing with the wrong product dulls the finish.
How It's Done
Dedicated Cleaner
A cleaner made for gutter oxidation is applied to the face.
Hand Work
Brushes or pads work the streaks loose without scratching.
Rinse
The face, the siding below and any plants under the drip line are rinsed.
Downspouts Too
Downspouts get the same treatment so they match.
Brightening vs. Gutter Cleaning
Gutter brightening cleans the outside face. Gutter cleaning removes leaves and debris from inside the gutter. They're different jobs, so tell us which one you need. A crew may offer both, but don't assume one includes the other.
Pairing It With a House Wash
Brightening right after a house wash makes the most sense. The siding and gutters are clean at the same time, and the crew is already set up.
Colored and Older Gutters
Brown, bronze and other colored gutters get the same oxidation streaks, just harder to see. Older gutters with a chalky, worn finish may brighten unevenly, and the crew should point that out after a test section. Dented or leaking sections and loose hangers are worth noting too, since a wash crew isn't a gutter repair crew.
