We power wash siding for most homes every two years because most siding manufactures reccomend it for regular maintenance. Before spending almost a thousand dollars to buy the right kind of power washer there are a few things you should know before you power wash. Power wash techniques vary depending on the surface that your cleaning and it's a delicate process of using the right chemicals, water volume and pressure. What most people don't know is it can also cause thousands of dollars in damage if your not properly trained to power wash.
Even using the mild cleaning solutions from hardware stores when you power wash can cause extensive damage because most of them contain chlorine bleach, which can damage wood decks if it gets on them. Most people believe using 3,000 - 4,000 psi to power wash is the fastest and most effective way to get the job done. That amount of pressure can damage aluminum siding, force water behind it causing mildew and in some cases blow it off the house!
When cleaning aluminum siding it's important to make sure you don't use pressure to remove the built up dirt and mildew use the proper chemicals instead. In some cases you may have artillery fungus, which can creates further issues.
