Why Algae Loves a Rainy Spring and Summer

This year’s long, rainy spring might have had you considering building an ark, but while we’ve been stuck under gray skies, algae has been having the time of its life. Dampness and shade are its best friends, and according to Ken Wilson, founder of Pristine Clean, “We’ve never seen as much algae as we’re seeing this year.”

Homeowners across Northeast Ohio are gearing up for outdoor summer gatherings, and the last thing they want guests to see is algae, mildew, and grime clinging to the sides of their homes.

That’s where Pristine Clean comes in.

Unlike amateur power washers who blast siding with damaging high pressure, Pristine uses a proven three-step soft wash system that kills algae and mildew while keeping your home’s exterior safe.

Our House Soft Washing Process to Kill Algae

Step 1: Algaecide Application

Pristine’s process begins with the application of a safe, effective algaecide that loosens mold, mildew, and grime before any equipment is turned on.

“This allows us to soft wash your home without the dangers of high pressure,” Ken explains.

Step 2: Professional Power Washing

Next, Pristine’s technicians use advanced, well-maintained equipment to clean your home efficiently and safely.

“We invest in new equipment and continuous training, so each project is completed to the highest standard,” Ken says.

Step 3: Protective Sealant

Finally, a protective sealant is applied to your siding to help it stay cleaner longer while also guarding against UV fading.

“It acts as a barrier to keep your home looking its best,” Ken adds.

A Company Built on Training, Safety, and Fair Pricing

At Pristine Clean, technicians receive extensive classroom and on-site training, including a full apprenticeship program.

“In untrained hands, a power washer can cause damage to people, property, and landscaping,” Ken says. “Proper training is a cornerstone of our company culture.”

Fair, honest pricing is another. Pristine Clean offers transparent, flat-rate pricing based on square footage—no hidden fees or inflated quotes to bait a fake discount.

“You pay what your neighbors pay,” Ken assures.

It’s no surprise Pristine Clean has earned more than 1,100 Google reviews with a near-perfect 4.9-star rating, along with an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau.
