Here are our top 10 tips for getting the job done quickly and efficiently:

  1. Invest in a good pressure washer. A pressure washer can make short work of dirt and grime on your siding, gutters, and walkways. Just be sure to use the correct nozzle attachment and settings for your particular surface.
  2. Make your own cleaning solution. You can save money and avoid harsh chemicals by making your own cleaning solution with ingredients like vinegar, baking soda, and lemon juice.
  3. Use a power washer for tough stains. If you have tougher stains, like oil or grease, a power washer can be your best friend. Just be sure to use the correct nozzle attachment and settings for your particular surface.
  4. Protect your plants. When pressure washing or using any kind of cleaning solution, be sure to protect your plants by covering them with a tarp or plastic sheeting.
  5. Scrub stubborn stains by hand. For tough stains that just won’t come up with a pressure washer or cleaning solution, you may need to scrub them by hand. Use a brush with stiff bristles and be sure to wear gloves to protect your hands.
  6. Rinse thoroughly. After you’ve pressure washed or scrubbed your surfaces, be sure to rinse them thoroughly with clean water to remove any remaining cleaning solution.
  7. Let surfaces dry completely. After you’ve pressure washed or scrubbed your surfaces, be sure to let them dry completely before you walk on them or apply any sealants or finishes.
  8. Apply a sealant or finish. Once your surfaces are clean and dry, you may want to apply a sealant or finish to protect them from future stains. 
  9. Hire a professional. If you don’t have the time or equipment to clean your home’s exterior yourself, hire a professional. They will have the knowledge and experience to get the job done quickly and efficiently. 
  10. Be safe. When using a pressure washer or any kind of cleaning solution, be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions to avoid injury. Also, be sure to wear appropriate safety gear, like gloves, goggles, and a dust mask.
