What are "tiger stripes"?
The dark vertical streaks on the outside of white or light gutters are often called tiger stripes. They form when dirty water overflows the gutter edge, or when roof runoff carries grime down the face. Over time, the dirt bonds to the aluminum's painted finish through a static charge, so a normal house wash won't remove it.
Gutter brightening uses a specialty cleaner and hand scrubbing to lift those stripes and restore the color. It's often added to a house wash.
Inside versus outside
Brightening cleans the outside face of the gutter. Clearing leaves and pine needles out of the inside is a separate job. If the stripes keep coming back, the gutters may be overflowing because they're clogged, so ask for both.
Oxidized aluminum can look chalky or faded, and brightening can improve it. Badly faded paint may not come back fully.
