House Washing in Cincinnati, OH
A full-exterior wash removes years of dirt, green algae, mildew and cobwebs from siding, trim, soffits and doors. It is one of the fastest ways to refresh a home before listing, painting or simply enjoying it.
House Washing in Cincinnati: what to expect
Mature tree canopy means heavy spring pollen, summer sap and plenty of fall leaves in gutters. Humid summers encourage algae and mildew on north-facing siding, and the region sits on hard water, so sprinkler and rain spotting on glass is common.
Brick, stone and painted wood are common across the city: about 59% of Cincinnati homes were built before 1960 (Census ACS 2019-2023), so the typical house wash here is masonry and trim, not vinyl. We tailor the wash to each material so mortar joints and paint are not harmed, using low pressure and a detergent dwell on brick in Hyde Park, Oakley and Westwood, and a gentler rinse on painted wood porches and soffits in Northside and Pleasant Ridge. Cincinnati's humid summers and 45 inches of annual rain, with about 136 days a year of measurable precipitation (NOAA 1991-2020 normals), grow green algae on north-facing walls and black mildew under eaves, and the city's 43% tree canopy keeps shaded walls damp. We treat growth first, then rinse top-down so runoff does not streak clean sections.
Cincinnati has a wide mix of housing: historic brick and stone homes with older multi-pane windows, hillside homes with tricky access, Victorian-era rowhouses in the urban core, and many mid-century and newer suburban homes.

Why Cincinnati homeowners and businesses need it
Organic growth feeds on moisture and can stain and degrade siding. Washing maintains finish and curb appeal and can reduce the need for repainting.
Washing in spring clears winter grime before outdoor season; pairing it with window cleaning gives the best before/after.

What customers say
★★★★★“The people were very professional and honest. Everything James said and explained to me he did. I've had several other window cleaning companies come to my house and clean the windows but not as good as these people did. Especially I liked that they cleaned the rails, sills, etc. Also when I mentioned a couple of spots he took care of of it right away. Another thing I liked is they guarantee their work and they have a clause that if it rains or snows in three days and you're unhappy, they will come back and take care of it. I'm very happy and satisfied that I found infinity home services and I will definitely use them in the future.”
★★★★★“I had a recent experience to work with James. He showed up in time and worked on the exterior of the house for a soft wash. His charges are very reasonable and he did an awesome job for me. He is very professional to work with and gives you the right advice like a pro who knows his job really well. I hired him immediately for my next project. Windows it is for this summer.”
★★★★★“Gavin scheduled our service quickly once we realized we wanted to clean our windows and then Pierre did an amazing job with our windows. Pierre took off his shoes when he grabbed our screens and cleaned our inside windows when he noticed that I took off my shoes too. That was just so thoughtful compared to other experiences I've had. He was careful with the cleaning too and my windows look great now! The price was very fair for the time it took and the final result. This is the 2nd time Infiniti Home Services have cleaned our windows and we would definitely recommend them to anyone who wants cleaner windows and would consider them for future siding/gutter cleaning too.”
