June is the Perfect Time to Power Wash Your Home’s Siding

What We're Seeing in June: Richmond Siding Under Attack

As we roll into peak humidity season here in Richmond, Midlothian, and the surrounding areas, your home’s siding might be sending a silent SOS. If you're spotting black or green streaks on the north side of your house, or anywhere shady and damp, you're not alone.

Mold, mildew, and algae are having a field day this month, especially on homes surrounded by trees or lacking regular exterior cleaning. That fuzzy, streaky growth on vinyl siding and Hardie board isn't just ugly, it’s slowly breaking down the surface and can even trigger allergies and respiratory issues.

This is exactly what we’ve been seeing all over Glen Allen, Mechanicsville, and Henrico: homes growing a second skin. Spoiler alert—it’s not a good look.

Our Soft Washing Process: Safe, Effective, and Seriously Satisfying

At Ducky Power Wash, we show up with commercial-grade soft and power washing equipment, friendly detergents, and just the right amount of pressure to get the job done right—without damaging your siding.

We start by applying a solution that breaks down algae, mold, and mildew at the root. After letting it dwell (this is where the magic happens), we rinse it all away with low-pressure water that leaves your siding clean, bright, and damage-free.

This method is perfect for vinyl siding, Hardie board, and other delicate exterior surfaces. It’s the professional way to clean your home without risking cracked siding, water intrusion, or streaky messes.

Why Exterior Cleaning in June is a Smart Move

Power washing in early summer isn't just about instant curb appeal—though your home will absolutely look like it belongs on HGTV. It’s also one of the best ways to:

  • Prevent long-term damage from mold, mildew, and algae

  • Extend the lifespan of your siding, paint, and trim

  • Improve indoor air quality by eliminating allergy-causing buildup

  • Protect your home investment with regular maintenance

  • Boost property value (great if you're planning to sell soon)
