Gutter brightening
Gutter brightening is cleaning the outside face of gutters to remove the dark streaks (often called tiger stripes) that a normal house wash leaves behind.
Also called
- gutter whitening
- gutter face cleaning
- tiger stripe removal
The streaks on the face of gutters are grime bonded to the painted surface, so a house wash alone rarely removes them. Brightening uses a cleaner made for the purpose and hand work (a brush or pad), then a rinse.
It is priced per linear foot of gutter or as a flat add-on to a house wash. It is not the same as gutter cleaning, which clears debris from inside the gutter.
