Cleaning the outside of a house is necessary from time to time to remove mildew or prepare for painting. Because of the size of the job, a pressure washer is the best way to do it efficiently. After you apply a cleaning solution to an area, begin cleaning with horizontal strokes, working from bottom to top. Be sure the spray pattern is wide enough not to damage the siding. Then when you rinse, work from top to bottom, completing one area before you move to the next.
