Pressure washing in Bedford
Bedford is newer housing on the whole, which usually means vinyl, which usually means the green shows up early and obvious against a light colour.
Light siding shows everything
A lot of Bedford is newer subdivision housing in vinyl, often in light greys, creams and whites. Those colours are the least forgiving surface there is for algae, because a grey green film reads instantly against a pale wall.
The good news is that vinyl in decent condition cleans up extremely well. It is a surface that responds to a proper soft wash rather than one that has to be fought.
Slopes, trees and shaded walls
A lot of Bedford is built on slope with mature trees left standing between the lots, which is what makes it a nice place to live and also what keeps sun off the sides of houses.
Wherever a wall is shaded by the grade or by trees, that is where the growth starts. On a light coloured house it is the wall people photograph least and notice most.
Newer houses fail differently
Newer construction does not have the fragile materials an older house has, so it can usually take a proper wash without much drama. What it does have is very light colours and long unbroken walls, and both of those show every mistake.
Streaking on pale vinyl almost never comes from the cleaning. It comes from rinsing badly, or from working a hot wall in direct sun so the product dries before it has done anything. Done in the right order the colour comes back even across the whole elevation.
