Have you ever noticed black streaks or dull stains running down the front of your gutters? Those marks—known as “tiger stripes”—are caused by oxidation, dirt buildup, and runoff. And they don’t come off with regular cleaning.

That’s where gutter brightening comes in.

At Bright & Shiny Window Cleaning & Pressure Washing, we offer gutter brightening as an add-on service to help your home look polished and well-maintained.

🧽 What Is Gutter Brightening?

Gutter brightening is a specialized exterior cleaning process that removes:

• Oxidation stains (tiger stripes)
• Dirt and streaks from runoff
• Mold or mildew on the gutter face

We use gentle scrub brushes and a professional-grade cleaning solution to restore the original color and shine of your gutters—without damaging the finish.

💧 How It’s Different from Gutter Cleaning

• Gutter cleaning clears out debris from inside your gutters and downspouts.
• Gutter brightening cleans the outside of the gutters, improving curb appeal and removing years of stains.

Together, they deliver a complete result—inside and out.

🏠 When Should You Brighten Your Gutters?

Gutter brightening is perfect if:

• You’re prepping your home for sale or guests
• Your gutters look faded or streaked
• You want your home’s trim to pop
• You’re already having the gutters cleaned

We recommend brightening once a year or as needed to keep your exterior looking sharp.

✅ Is Gutter Brightening Worth It?

Absolutely—especially if you care about curb appeal. For a small added cost, gutter brightening:

• Makes your home look cleaner and newer
• Enhances your trim, roofing, and siding
• Shows attention to detail that buyers and guests notice

Plus, bundling it with your regular gutter cleaning saves time and money.
