Texas summers bring scorching heat, high humidity, and plenty of dust—making your home’s exterior look worn down faster than usual. The good news? A few smart cleaning strategies can help you maintain curb appeal and avoid long-term damage.

At Bright & Shiny Window Cleaning & Pressure Washing, we help homeowners keep their homes looking fresh, even through the toughest seasons. Here are our top summer exterior cleaning tips.

☀️ 1. Prioritize Window Cleaning for a Clear View

Summer sun reveals all the smudges, pollen, and mineral spots on your windows. Regular professional window cleaning not only boosts appearance—it also protects seals, screens, and glass from deterioration.

Tip: Avoid cleaning in direct sunlight. It can leave streaks as water dries too fast.

🧼 2. Schedule a Soft Wash to Combat Algae & Mildew

The heat plus humidity creates the perfect conditions for mildew and algae—especially on siding, stucco, or painted surfaces.

Soft washing uses low pressure and eco-friendly detergents to kill and remove these growths without damaging your home’s surfaces.

💦 3. Don’t Forget Pressure Washing for Driveways & Walkways

Driveways, sidewalks, and patios can stain quickly in summer due to:

  • Tire marks
  • Dirt and mud
  • Leaf residue
  • BBQ grease or spills

Pressure washing restores these areas to like-new condition and prevents buildup from becoming permanent.

🍃 4. Clear Out Gutters Before Summer Storms

Clogged gutters during a surprise summer downpour can lead to:

  • Water overflowing near your foundation
  • Damaged landscaping
  • Roof leaks

Bright & Shiny offers professional gutter cleaning to keep your drainage systems clear and functional.

🧽 5. Clean Solar Panels for Maximum Efficiency

Dusty panels = less energy. Summer sun means more solar power—if your panels are clean. Professional solar panel cleaning ensures you’re getting the most out of your system during peak season.
