Anyone with any experience in cleaning vinyl siding?
I realize scrubbing will do that job, but I am not scrubbing the house and detached garage.
Wondering if anyone has used any spray on products that you can rinse off?
I found a product called Mold Armor that has some good reviews on youtube. Curious if anyone has experience that has worked.

I use a product called simple green and a pressure washer! The pressure washer I use has a tank to add the chemical to it and I have not had any issues with it killing the yard or making the dogs sick. I have not used any of the products you apply with just a garden hose. I have areas I can;t reach with just a hose and my shitty water pressure...thus the pressure washer.

Pressure wash your siding first with a cleaner then use a 50/50 mix of boiled linseed oil and mineral spirits as a spray and wipe down.

Did you have to scrub everything to finish it? My goal is not to rely on scrubbing an entire house and detached garage. Especially not going up 20ft+ on a ladder to do that on areas of the house that are walkout plus 2 stories above that. |

No scrubbing, went over with pressure washer, foamed and then rinsed with pressure washer. Cars and trucks just shine.

I've only done it one way... and it was because I didn't have a pressure washer, and I didn't want to scrub a rental house. The simple green stuff mentioned above sprayed on with a garden sprayer, let it soak, rinse with a hose. It worked well but I did hit some tough spots with a shop broom on the rinse to knock some crud off.

I had a cheap electric one but gave it away and got a good gas powered one. Next time I wash car or truck I'll try to remember to take a picture or video of the foam cannon. |
