5 Places Around the House You’re Probably Forgetting to Clean

1. Behind your downspouts – These areas collect splashback from rain and get covered in green algae. It’s usually the dirtiest part of your siding.
2. Fence panels – Especially in shaded areas, fences grow moss and mildew. Cleaning them makes your yard look cleaner and bigger.
3. Deck railings and stairs – Slippery steps are a real safety concern, especially after a wet fall or winter.
4. Under window trim – Spider webs, bugs, and dirt love to collect in these small gaps. A quick rinse makes your windows look brand new.
5. Side yard walkways – These paths are often shaded and forgotten. Moss and algae make them slippery, especially in places like Aberdeen or Kent.

When we come out for a soft wash or house washing job, we always check these areas. They might not be the first things you think about, but they make a big difference in how clean and cared-for your home feels.
