What to Expect After Your House Wash

Provided by Central Ohio Grime Fighters

Thank you for choosing Central Ohio Grime Fighters to clean your home! While we take great care in delivering a high-quality soft wash, there are a few normal things you may notice in the hours or days following the service — and they are completely expected.

Water Dripping from Weep Holes

Vinyl siding has small drainage openings at the bottom of each panel. After a wash, it’s normal to see water or solution slowly dripping for hours — even the next day — especially in shady areas. This may carry out some residual debris from behind the siding.

The next rainfall will typically rinse away any streaks.

Water Behind Shutters or Trim

Shutters and trim can trap rinse water. As it drains, you may notice streaks or minor dirt runoff. Rain usually clears these areas naturally within a day or two.

Light Streaking or Runoff Marks

On oxidized or heavily soiled siding, some drying streaks may appear. These typically fade as the siding dries fully over 24–48 hours.

Final Results

Once dry, your home will appear noticeably brighter and cleaner. Some permanent stains (like oxidation, artillery fungus, or gutter stripes) are not removed in a standard wash but can be quoted separately.

If you have any questions or want us to take a look at anything post-wash, just let us know — we’re happy to help!
