How long does it take to clean the exterior of your house?

The length of time it takes to wash your house will depend on several factors, such as the size of your house, the type of siding, and the cleaning method you choose. Here are some estimates to give you an idea:

• For a small house with a basic cleaning solution and a garden hose, it may take around 1-2 hours to wash the siding of the entire house.
• For a larger house with a pressure washer, the time can range from 2-6 hours, depending on the size of the house and the level of dirt and grime buildup.
• If your house has multiple stories or hard-to-reach areas, it may take longer to clean as extra care and attention will be needed to ensure all areas are properly cleaned.

It's important to note that these estimates are just guidelines, and the actual time it takes to wash your house may vary depending on the specific conditions and factors mentioned above. It's always a good idea to plan for extra time, especially if you're doing the job yourself and want to ensure a thorough and effective cleaning.

How do I clean dirty house siding?

1. Choose a cleaning solution: There are different types of cleaning solutions available depending on the type of siding you have. For example, a solution of water and mild soap and bleach works well for vinyl siding, while a heavier solution of water and bleach, and in combination with an acid based cleaner is suitable for brick siding. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for the cleaning solution.
2. Protect your plants and other surfaces: Cover any nearby plants or delicate surfaces with plastic sheeting or drop cloths to avoid damage from the cleaning solution. Careful not to leave plants covered for more than five to ten minutes in direct sunlight as this could result in burning them due to heat. 
3. Use a pressure washer or a scrub brush: A pressure washer can make quick work of cleaning your siding, but do not use high pressure as this will damage your siding. If you don't have one, you can also use a long-handled scrub brush. Be careful not to use too much pressure when cleaning, as this can also damage the siding.
4. Start at the top and work your way down: Start cleaning at the top of the siding and work your way down, rinsing thoroughly as you go.
5. Rinse thoroughly: Once you've finished cleaning, rinse the siding thoroughly with a hose or pressure washer to remove any remaining cleaning solution.
6. Dry the siding: Allow the siding to air dry.

How often do you need to clean siding?

The frequency of cleaning your house siding will depend on the climate, the type of siding, and how much dirt and debris your house is exposed to. Generally speaking, it is recommended to clean your siding at least once a year to keep it looking its best. However, if you live in an area with a lot of dirt, dust, or pollution, or if your siding is exposed to a lot of moisture or mold, you may need to clean it more frequently. Similarly, if you notice discoloration, stains, or other signs of damage, you may need to clean your siding more often to prevent further damage. It's always a good idea to consult with a professional if you're unsure about the appropriate frequency of cleaning for your particular situation.
