Introduction
The winter months can be tough on your property. Between freezing temperatures, heavy rain and lack of sunlight – grime and buildup have a way of quietly taking over your exterior surfaces. As the weather warms up and the days get longer, it’s the perfect time to step outside, take a good look around, and see what winter left behind.
Not sure if it’s time for a post-winter clean? Here are the top signs your property needs a post-winter exterior refresh:
1. Streaky Windows and Cloudy Glass
Even if you don’t realise it from inside, winter weather can leave behind salt stains, dirt, and mineral buildup on your windows. Cloudy or streaky glass not only blocks natural light but can also give off a neglected look from the outside.
2. Moss or Algae on Surfaces
Shaded areas that stayed damp all winter long are prime spots for moss, algae, and mildew to grow. These can be slippery, damaging to surfaces, and pretty unsightly—especially on driveways, walkways, and rooftops.
3. Discolored Walls or Siding
From rain splashback to wind-driven grime, winter coats your siding with more than just bad vibes. If your paint or cladding looks dull, stained, or tired, it’s probably hiding under a layer of dirt that a good exterior clean can blast away.
4. Clogged or Overflowing Gutters
While you may not notice it from the ground, gutters often take a hit during winter. Fallen leaves, debris, and storm residue can block water flow—leading to overflows and water damage when the spring showers start rolling in.
5. Driveways and Paths Looking Tired
Oil stains, mud, moss, and tire marks are all common after months of wet weather. A clean driveway not only boosts curb appeal but also makes a big difference in safety and longevity.
6. Pollen Starting to Stick
As spring kicks in, pollen starts flying—and it sticks to everything. A layer of yellow dust on your windowsills, railings, or outdoor furniture is a sure sign it’s time for a refresh.

Winter doesn’t just leave behind dirt—it leaves behind potential damage. Moss can eat into surfaces. Blocked gutters can cause leaks. And neglected areas can become more costly down the line.
