STEP 1: Cover bushes, gardens, and lawns with drop cloths or plastic sheeting to protect them. Duct tape all sheets and cloths together.
STEP 2 Mix your mildewcide detergent with water in the five-gallon bucket according to the package directions (available where you rent the machine or at home centers). In a ratio of one part bleach to nine parts mildewcide-detergent solution, add bleach. Fill the garden sprayer halfway with this solution.
STEP 3 Before you start scrubbing, make sure the pressure washer is ready to run. Attach the garden hose to the hose attachment on the back of the pressure washer, as well as to the hose faucet on the outside of the house. Use a 15-degree spray nozzle for tougher surfaces and greater pressure. Choose a 25- or 30-degree nozzle for softer surfaces and lower pressures. If you’re building a two-story construction, attach the extension wand to the top floor first. Set up the scaffolding ahead of time, according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Place it far enough away from the wall so you can stand in the middle of the scaffolding with a 1.5- to 3-foot reach while holding the wand comfortably in your hand. Before utilizing the scaffold, make sure the wheels are locked in place.
STEP 4 Using the mildewcide solution, thoroughly spray a six- to ten-foot stretch of a single floor of your home. Start at the bottom of the piece and work your way up, scouring the siding softly but strongly with the soft siding brush. Working “up” is the most effective method since if you start at the top, suds and liquid will drip down the wall, possibly covering sections and causing you to miss them. Start scrubbing on the top level first, but clean from the scaffolding’s “floor” up to the top of the house if you’re renovating a two-story property.
STEP 5 Put on the safety goggles once the first piece has been completely washed. Turn on the pressure washer from a distance of three feet between the nozzle and the wall. Maintain this attitude if it allows you to remove dirt without causing damage. If not, move in four to six inches at a time and measure the cleaning force, then work from whatever distance seems appropriate.
STEP 6 Begin from the top of the scrubbed part once you’ve established the proper distance. Start with the overhangs and work your way down. Reach up with both arms (as high as you can comfortably without recoil knocking you off balance) and tilt the sprayer down at a 45-degree angle to prevent water from getting under the siding.
STEP 7 Move on to the next sector, repeating Steps 4–6 until the entire house is clean. Remove the drop cloths and plastic sheeting when finished, discard the duct tape, and store the cleaning products and equipment. Allow at least two days for the exterior to dry completely before doing any exterior painting—or simply admire your spotless home!
