Everyone wants their houses to sparkle, but soap and water aren't only for the interior. Clean exterior siding may quickly improve curb appeal. Follow the following guidelines for cleaning exterior siding with a Pressure Washer. If you follow this sort of advice, cleaning your outside siding will be a breeze!

Step 1

Recognize that various kinds of external siding need different detergents, so follow the manufacturer's directions when using the specific solutions. Before you start cleaning, make sure your siding is in good shape. When it comes to vinyl, iron, fiber cement or wood gypsum siding, it doesn't matter what kind of material it is. Washing lead paint is a bad idea. To make pressure washing simpler and keep you off the ladder, consider utilizing an extension wand or lance. If you do utilize a ladder, keep in mind that the pressure you use while pulling the trigger might overturn a ladder!

Step two

Before you begin, be sure to turn off the power to any exposed outlets and cover any light fixtures that may be present. Close all of your doors and windows before you leave. You don't want your house to appear as a storm hits it! Don't forget to wear eye protection, and you're good to go.

Step three

Start the machine by connecting the hose to it. Place a siphon in the soap solution and attach the soaping nozzle. Using a turbo foamer attachment may also help you save a lot of time while working. More efficiently disperse hazardous substances across a home's upper stories with this add-on. Start at the bottom and work your way up to avoid the soapy solution flowing down the siding. To get rid of all the gunk, spray one side of the home with soap and let it stay for ten to twenty minutes before rinsing it off. Use only solvents that have been authorized for use with pressure washers; other solvents may harm your pressure washer and are not ecologically friendly.

Step four

To rinse your siding, change the pressure washer nozzle to a 25-degree or 40-degree nozzle. Start washing at the top and work your way down, keeping a space of at least 1 foot between you and the sink. Keeping in mind that the wand must be kept parallel to the side is essential for success. Move to the opposite side of the home and repeat the procedure after you've finished with one side of the house. You'll have wonderfully clean exterior siding in just a few hours.

Final thought

A word of caution: don't spray up beneath the panel overlaps while cleaning metal siding. Before applying the detergent to wood siding, make sure the surface is damp. Apply a gentle spray on the brick siding to ensure no detergent penetrates the brick.

Clean exterior siding not only looks wonderful, but it also protects your house's vinyl siding for years to come.
