How to clean outdoor siding

Question

I’m planning to clean the outdoor siding of my house. What would be the ideal spray tip for performing this clean with a pressure washer?

Nathan Philip · Accepted Answer

The ideal spray tip for cleaning outdoor siding with a pressure washer depends on the type of siding you have and the level of dirt or grime buildup. Here are some general guidelines:

For vinyl or aluminum siding, a 25-degree spray tip is a good choice. This will provide enough pressure to remove dirt and grime without damaging the siding.

For more delicate surfaces, such as painted wood or stucco, a 40-degree spray tip is recommended. This will provide a wider spray pattern and lower pressure, which is less likely to damage the surface.

For tougher stains or heavily soiled surfaces, a 15-degree spray tip can be used to provide more concentrated pressure.

It's important to note that pressure washing can be a powerful tool, and it's important to use the appropriate spray tip and technique to avoid damaging your siding. Before starting, test the pressure washer on a small, inconspicuous area to make sure the spray is not too strong for your siding. Also, be sure to follow all safety instructions provided with your pressure washer

Turn the nozzle to a wider spray, add some sugar soap to your washer. Rub any tougher dirt with a sponge. Rinse everything with fresh water once done.
