House Washing in Orillia.

What Orillia does to siding

Ask anyone on the water: the real culprit is spiders. Lake Couchiching feeds them a summer-long buffet of tiny bugs — including Orillia’s famous June shadfly hatch — and they repay your house with webs across every corner and the black speckling on siding, soffits, and eaves that regular hose-downs won’t touch. One of our Couchiching clients calls our soft-wash detergent “the magic solution” for exactly those black spider dots — it dissolves them at the source instead of smearing them around.

Orillia’s shaded streets have the other classic problem: green algae film on north-facing vinyl, especially under the mature tree canopy around the downtown core and the older wards. And on newer builds in West Ridge, tight lot lines mean shaded side walls that go green within a couple of seasons.

Orillia tip: an early-summer house wash clears the webs and speckling and keeps the house looking right through the season. Pair it with an exterior window clean while we’re there — one visit, the whole exterior done at once.

How we wash houses in Orillia

We soft wash: purpose-made detergents kill algae and organic growth at the root, then a low-pressure rinse carries it away. No blasting, no forced water behind the siding, no stripped paint — and the results last months longer than pressure alone because the growth is dead, not just knocked back. Siding, soffits, eaves, and trim come back to an even, clean finish, and we’re careful with pre-soaking and rinsing your gardens while we work.
