What kind of streaks are they? What caused them? What was your housewash mix?

The streaks go from top to bottom and are light in color and about 18 inches apart. The mix was Monster House Wash only with no bleach. I noticed some streaks before I started, now they are really noticeable. Only two sides of the house have them.

No sprinkler that I'm aware of.

Rod, Yes the homeowner cleaned this house last year himself, and has been out of the country the whole time, I'm now dealing with his wife.

Sounds like oxidation from the gutters. Try a little gutter grenade and ssh with joy as a housewash. Should get it off (photos would help)

sounds like the homeowner thought he was a PWer and did the streaking himself. you should always point out things like this and take pics for you records. you might end up getting blamed for it

All is well, the homeowner was home today and I was able to show him the one side of the house he told me not to clean. Looks just like the rest of the house only not as clean.

"streaks" appear to be brush/roller overlap from when the siding was stained. Generally most noticable a few years after it was done.
