What to know about cleaning stucco
Traditional stucco is porous and holds moisture, which is why it streaks green and black in humid and shaded spots. Hairline cracks are common, and high pressure can force water into them or break off the finish coat.
Avoid: High pressure, which can etch the texture, blow out patches and push water behind the wall.
How often: Every 1-2 years.
