Pressure Wash Vinyl Siding
If you have vinyl siding for a wall finish, then you are lucky because making them look brand new is easy. You just need to pressure wash your vinyl siding to bring back its glow like you first bought it. The cost involved is a lot cheaper than repainting your exterior. You don't even have to hire professional cleaners - you can do it by yourself!
Before you get excited and rent the next pressure washer you can find though, there are points you need to remember when you pressure wash your vinyl siding. Your pressure washer can make the difference between a thorough job and a frustrating and tiring day trying to remove the grime off your vinyl siding. A good pressure washer is one that releases 4 gallons of water per minute in 1000 psi. Use more than what is needed and you risk blowing off your siding, use less and you might double the time needed to clean your vinyl siding. Pressure wash your vinyl siding with the right cleaning solution also: your nearest home improvement store can help you on this.
You must prepare your wall and the surrounding area before swerving around the pressure washer nozzle. Remember that the pressurized water is powerful enough to knock off lamps and other ornaments on your walls - remove them. Remove all outlets and other electrical objects that might short when wet. And, never forget to cover your windows and doors especially if they contain glass. Inspect beforehand for cracks on the siding and seal them properly before hosing your walls.
To avoid streaks after you pressure wash your vinyl siding, be sure to hose down starting from the bottom up. You don't want the cleaning agent to dry up on the wall because this will cause the streaks. Don't go "hose crazy" on your wall also. Allow some time on one area to really give the cleaning agent a chance to remove stubborn stains. After hosing your wall with the cleaning agent, be sure to hose it with pure water to remove any excess detergent. This will leave irritating streaks on your wall when not thoroughly removed.
