Cladding can get dirty due to various reasons, including:
Environmental factors: Exposure to outdoor elements such as rain, snow, dust, dirt, pollen, and air pollution can accumulate on the cladding over time, leading to a dirty appearance. Adverse weather conditions can impact modern buildings and older property, and if you're worried about weather damage, we can help.
Biological growth: Algae, moss, lichen, and other types of natural growth can thrive on cladding, especially in areas with high moisture levels or shaded areas, resulting in a green or blackish discolouration.
Atmospheric contaminants: Pollutants from nearby industries, traffic emissions, and other airborne pollutants can settle on exterior surfaces and accumulate dirt and grime.
Stains and spills: Accidental spills, stains from food, beverages, chemicals, or graffiti can leave unsightly marks on cladding. Even bird droppings negatively impact domestic, commercial, and industrial buildings and their cladding panels.
Lack of maintenance: Neglecting regular cleaning and maintenance of cladding can result in dirt, grime, and stains building up over time, making the cladding appear dirty and dull.
Construction debris: During construction or renovation projects, dust, debris, and other construction materials can settle on exterior surfaces, making them dirty and requiring proper cleaning.
Natural ageing: Over time, the cladding may naturally age, oxidise, or discolour, resulting in a less appealing appearance.
We are pleased to offer cladding cleaning services to tackle these problems, and more when dealing with dirty exterior cladding.

Dirty or unclean cladding can pose several problems for property owners, including:
Aesthetics: Dirty cladding can significantly impact the overall appearance of a building, making it look unkempt, aged, and unattractive. This can negatively impact visitors, potential customers, and tenants, affecting the property's curb appeal and value.
Degradation of cladding material: Accumulated dirt, grime, and contaminants on cladding can deteriorate the material over time. Biological growth, such as algae and moss, can penetrate the cladding material and cause damage, leading to costly repairs or replacement.
Reduced performance: Cladding protects the building envelope from external elements, such as moisture, UV rays, and pollutants. Dirty cladding can compromise performance, leading to potential water infiltration, increased energy consumption, and decreased insulation efficiency.
Health and safety risks: Certain types of biological growth, such as mould and mildew, can pose health risks to building occupants, potentially leading to respiratory issues, allergies, and other health problems. Graffiti on cladding can also create safety concerns and attract vandalism. Health and safety issues are critical for all firms, and we are more than happy to assist you.
Compliance and regulations: Some buildings, mainly commercial or industrial properties, may be subject to local laws or industry standards that mandate regular cleaning and maintenance of exterior cladding. Failure to comply with these regulations can result in fines, penalties, or legal liabilities.
With regular cladding cleaning, you can minimise or remove the impact of these problems. Part of the cladding cleaning services offered by Tripleclean Gang are commercial cladding cleaning services, so if your business needs assistance in maintaining the exterior of your property, please contact us to arrange a regular cladding cleaning schedule.
We care for commercial and residential buildings, making us the professional cladding cleaners you can trust.
There are several key reasons why someone should consider hiring a professional cleaning company to clean their cladding:
Expertise and experience: Professional cleaning companies specializing in cladding cleaning have the necessary expertise, knowledge, and experience in dealing with different types of cladding, stains, and contaminants. Our team receives ongoing training in appropriate cleaning techniques, equipment, and products to effectively and safely clean without causing damage.
Time and efficiency: Cladding cleaning can be time-consuming, especially for more significant buildings or extensive cladding areas. Hiring a professional cleaning company can save property owners valuable time and effort. They have the right tools, equipment, and techniques to deliver effective cladding cleaning.
Quality results: Professional cleaning companies can deliver high-quality results that may be difficult to achieve with DIY cleaning strategies. They can effectively remove tough stains, dirt, grime, algae, moss, and other contaminants, restoring the appearance of cladding to its original condition and enhancing the overall aesthetics of the building.
Safety and compliance: Cladding cleaning may involve working at height, handling potentially hazardous cleaning products, or dealing with biological growth. Professional cleaning companies are equipped with the necessary safety gear, training, and compliance knowledge to ensure that the cleaning process is carried out safely and per local regulations and industry standards. We can help you manage warranty requirements and all major health and safety issues.
Protection of cladding material: Improper cleaning techniques or harsh chemicals can damage cladding materials, leading to costly repairs or replacement. Professional cleaning companies use appropriate cleaning methods and products that are safe for the specific cladding material, helping to protect and extend its lifespan.
Cost-effective: While hiring a professional cleaning company may involve an initial investment, it can be cost-effective in the long run. Regular cleaning and maintenance by professionals can prevent potential damage, degradation, and costly repairs, and help to maintain the appearance and value of the cladding, ultimately saving property owners money over time.

Tripleclean Gang offers a range of cladding cleaning services, and we are well-versed in various types of cladding, including aluminium and uPVC cladding, and the most effective ways to clean them. Here is a list of different cladding types, along with their benefits and appropriate cleaning methods:
Metal cladding is known for its durability, modern appearance, and resistance to weathering. Metal cladding cleaning is common with commercial buildings and requires consistent cleaning to remove dirt, debris, and stains. To clean metal panels, a gentle pressure washing with mild detergent and water is usually sufficient, followed by rinsing and drying.
Vinyl cladding is a popular choice for residential properties due to its affordability, versatility, and low maintenance requirements. It is resistant to fading, rotting, and insects and can be easily cleaned with a soft brush or cloth and a mild detergent solution, followed by rinsing.
The composite cladding consists of a combination of materials, such as wood fibres and plastic, and offers a natural wood-like appearance with enhanced durability and weather resistance. It requires minimal maintenance and can be cleaned with a soft brush or cloth and a mild detergent solution, followed by rinsing.
Brick cladding is a classic choice that provides a timeless look to buildings. It is durable, fire-resistant, and requires minimal maintenance. You can clean brick cladding with a pressure washer with low pressure and a mild detergent solution, followed by rinsing.
Stone cladding, such as granite or limestone, adds a luxurious and elegant touch to buildings. It is durable, weather-resistant, and requires periodic cleaning to maintain its appearance. We clean stone cladding with a soft brush or cloth with a stone-specific cleaner, followed by rinsing and drying.
Glass cladding is used in modern architecture to create a sleek and transparent appearance. It requires regular cleaning to maintain its transparency and shine. Cleaning glass cladding is possible with a glass cleaner or a mild detergent solution and water, followed by wiping with a clean, lint-free cloth.
Aluminium cladding is lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and commonly used in commercial and industrial properties. Aluminium frames are easily cleaned with gentle pressure washing using mild detergent and water, then rinsing and drying.
uPVC cladding is a good value and low-maintenance option commonly used in residential buildings. It is durable, weather-resistant, and washable with a soft brush or cloth with a mild detergent solution and water, followed by rinsing. For more information, check out our post “How to clean white pvc cladding".
Timber cladding is a popular choice for building exteriors due to its weather resistance, aesthetics, sustainability, durability, and thermal performance. To clean timber, use a regular mild detergent mixed with water and a soft brush or cloth, avoiding harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. Re-finishing with a protective coating may be necessary depending on the type of finish.

At Tripleclean Gang, we want to enhance and protect cladding, and this is true for residential, industrial, and commercial properties. Whatever building cladding you have or what stubborn stains impact you, we'll find the best way to clean the exterior, and here are some of our leading solutions when cleaning cladding.
DOFF cleaning is a specialised method that uses high-temperature steam and low pressure to remove dirt, grime, and stains from cladding surfaces. It is particularly effective for cleaning sensitive materials like stone, brick, and terracotta, as it uses heat rather than pressure to clean, minimising the risk of damage to the surface.
This method uses hot water vapour to clean cladding surfaces. It can effectively remove dirt, stains, and algae from various types of cladding, including vinyl, composite, uPVC, and glass. The steam cleaning process is easy with a steam cleaner or a pressure washer with a cleaning attachment.
This method also known as high-pressure washing, uses high-pressure water to clean cladding. It can effectively remove dirt, debris, and stains from metal cladding, such as aluminium or steel. However, be cautious with high-pressure washing settings and a wide-angle spray nozzle to avoid damaging the surface or forcing water into gaps or seams.
A mild detergent solution mixed with water is excellent for cleaning many types of cladding, including vinyl, composite, aluminium, uPVC, glass, and terracotta. You can apply it with a soft brush or cloth and then rinse off with water.
Some cladding materials, such as stone or glass, may require a specialised cleaner formulated for their specific surface to avoid further damage. Our cleaning services remove dirt, stains, or algae without damaging the cladding material.
A soft brush or cloth is helpful to gently clean cladding surfaces, especially for materials like vinyl, composite, uPVC, and terracotta. It is essential to avoid using abrasive materials or brushes that can scratch or damage the cladding surface.
We aim to cause minimal disruption when you have cladding cleaned, with affordable cleaning services at reasonable cladding cleaning prices.
Cleaning wall cladding involves several steps, including preparing the area, removing loose dirt and debris, choosing the appropriate cleaning method based on the cladding material, applying the cleaning solution, rinsing the cladding thoroughly, drying the cladding, and inspecting the results. Following the manufacturer's guidelines, local regulations, and environmental considerations is essential.
The best thing to clean composite cladding is typically a mild detergent mixed with water. A solution of warm water and a small amount of mild detergent is ideal for gently cleaning the composite cladding surface. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, acidic or alkaline solutions, or harsh chemicals that can potentially damage the composite material.
It's essential to follow the manufacturer's recommendations for cleaning and maintenance and always test any cleaning solution on a small, inconspicuous area of the composite cladding before applying it to the entire surface. Additionally, use a soft brush or cloth for cleaning, and rinse thoroughly with clean water after cleaning to remove any residue.
First, identify the type of stain and choose an appropriate cleaning method based on the cladding material to remove stains from the cladding. Apply a suitable cleaning solution, agitate the stain with a soft brush or cloth, and rinse thoroughly with clean water.
Repeat the process if necessary, and allow the cladding to air-dry or gently dry with a soft cloth. Inspect the results and seek professional advice if needed.
Cleaning composite panels involves using a mild detergent mixed with water to gently scrub the boards with a soft brush or cloth, starting from the top and working downwards. Thoroughly rinse with clean water, air-dry, or gently dry with a soft cloth, and inspect the results. Avoid using abrasive materials, high-pressure water, or harsh chemicals that may damage the panels.

Cleaning the external cladding is critical for maintaining the aesthetic appeal of your building, which often reflects on the image of your business. Furthermore, regular cleaning avoids the accumulation of dirt, filth, and organic matter, lowering the danger of corrosion, decay, and costly repairs in the future.
The frequency of cleaning is determined by a variety of criteria, including the local environment, the type of cladding material, and the use of the structure. Tripleclean Gang, on the other hand, normally recommends a complete cladding cleaning at least once a year to maintain its longevity and attractiveness.
