Is Your Siding Ready for Fall? Why Late Summer Is the Best Time for Soft Washing

Quick Answer: Yes—late summer is the best time to soft wash your siding. Cleaning now prevents mold, mildew, and dirt from setting in through the fall and winter, which makes future cleanings harder and more expensive.

At K.O.S. Cleaning Services, we know how frustrating it feels to look at siding streaked with algae or mildew. With fall just around the corner, now is the perfect time for Suffolk County homeowners to get ahead with professional soft washing.


Why Late Summer Is the Best Time to Wash Your Siding

  • Humidity Leaves Stains Behind
    Long Island’s hot, sticky summers fuel algae and mildew growth. If you wait until next year, those streaks only get darker.
  • Fall Weather Makes It Worse
    Leaves, rain, and cooler temps trap extra moisture against siding—creating a breeding ground for mold.
  • Protect Your Home Before Winter
    Freezing temps can lock in dirt and mildew, making stains much harder to remove in spring.


The Benefits of Soft Washing Your Siding

✔ Safe for all siding types – Unlike high-pressure washing, soft washing gently removes contaminants without damage.
✔ 
Improves curb appeal – A fresh exterior instantly boosts your home’s look before holiday guests arrive.
✔ 
Prevents costly repairs – Removing mold and mildew now helps protect your siding from premature wear.


Should You Wait Until Next Year?

No. Waiting until next year means living with dirty siding all fall and winter. By spring, stains are tougher to remove, and you’ll be competing with everyone else trying to book cleanings.
