The vertical black stripes on gutters — often called tiger stripes — are a baked-on mix of oxidized aluminum, road film, pollen, and algae. A pressure rinse just runs right over them. Gutter brightening uses a special hand-applied cleaner that breaks down the oxidation and lifts the grime, restoring the gutter's original bright finish. In Ardmore's humid, pollen-heavy seasons this buildup returns over time, so periodic brightening keeps the trim looking new.
Bright gutters make the biggest difference alongside clean siding and roof — dingy gutters can drag down the look of an otherwise clean house. That is why gutter brightening pairs naturally with a house soft wash and roof soft washing for a complete exterior refresh in one visit. Note that brightening cleans the outside face of the gutters; clearing leaves and debris from inside is a separate gutter-cleaning task we can discuss.
