Even with clean gutters, your home can look tired if the exterior is stained or streaked. Dirty South Pressure Washing offers professional gutter brightening to remove oxidation marks, “tiger stripes,” and grime from gutter faces — restoring their original shine without replacing or painting.
Gutter brightening is the exterior cleaning of gutter faces — not just clearing out leaves or debris. Over time, rainwater runoff mixed with pollution and oxidation leaves vertical black streaks, known as “tiger stripes,” on your gutters. These stains are not removable with regular pressure washing or household cleaners.
Our gutter brightening service uses specialized, oxidation-removing solutions combined with light scrubbing to safely restore the bright white finish of aluminum gutters without damaging paint or seals.
Your gutters play a huge role in how clean and maintained your home looks. Even with a pristine lawn or freshly painted siding, stained gutters can drag down curb appeal. Brightening gives the finishing touch to any exterior cleaning service and makes your home stand out.
This process is safe for painted or factory-finished gutters and delivers powerful visual improvement in just one session.
Homeowners often assume they need to repaint or replace gutters when they see staining. Gutter brightening can save you thousands in unnecessary cosmetic upgrades by restoring the original finish.
We recommend once per year, especially in high humidity or tree-covered areas where staining is more severe. If your home’s siding is being cleaned, it’s the perfect time to add gutter brightening for a complete look.
Our solutions are formulated specifically for oxidation removal — not harsh acids or bleach that could ruin finishes. We use soft tools and safe techniques that protect your gutter paint, roofline, and landscaping.
They’re caused by oxidation reacting with rainwater runoff and pollutants — often referred to as “tiger stripes.”
No. Pressure alone won’t remove oxidation. It requires chemical treatment and manual agitation.
No — we use non-abrasive, gutter-safe products and tools designed for this purpose.
Most homes stay bright for 12–18 months depending on tree coverage and weather exposure.
