Why Albany siding turns green
Southwest Georgia's long, humid summers are ideal for mildew, mold, and algae. Shady walls, the north side of the house, and siding near sprinklers or under trees turn green or black fastest. Every spring, pine pollen adds a yellow coating that sticks to that film.
Under pecan trees, a sticky residue called honeydew, left by pecan aphids, falls onto siding, cars, and decks. Black sooty mold grows on it, which is why homes near pecan groves often have dark speckling that won't rinse off with a hose.
Soft washing versus pressure washing
Soft washing uses low pressure, similar to a garden hose, with a cleaning solution that kills mildew and algae at the root. Most siding makers recommend low pressure, because high pressure can force water behind vinyl siding, strip paint, gouge wood, and etch stucco.
Good providers wet down plants before and after, cover delicate shrubs, and rinse thoroughly. Ask what solution they use and how they protect landscaping, pets, and fish ponds.

Frequently asked questions
How often should a house be washed in Albany?
Many homeowners here wash every year or two. Shady homes and homes near pecan trees may need it more often.
Is soft washing safe for my plants?
It is when it's done carefully, with plants watered before and rinsed after. Ask the provider about their routine.
Can it remove rust stains from sprinklers?
Orange stains from iron in well or irrigation water need a rust-specific cleaner. Mention them in your request.
Will washing remove pollen?
Yes, but pine pollen keeps falling through spring. Many people wait until late April or May for a house wash.
