Clean wood siding without damaging paint. Spray grimier spots with a siding cleaner and brush. Step 1 put on rubber gloves. Pressure washing will pull stain right off of wood surfaces. Work down from the roofline taking on one 10 foot square section at a time.

Stand roughly 4 feet away from the cedar while washing. As an experiment rub a clean white cloth across the unwashed siding. But over the years your house will experience paint failure faster than if it were applied to clean siding. Wash the siding area with the pressure washer.

Rinse the siding using the pressure. Use a spray bottle to squirt cleaner onto the grimier spots and scrub with a soft brush. Use a cleaner specifically designed for cleaning siding and always check the label to make sure it s safe for wood. Point your pivotpro hit the trigger and start spraying cleansing water against your dirty wood siding.

The cloth will likely come up dark gray with a layer of fine soot. After scrubbing thoroughly make sure to rinse the cleaner with a garden hose. Hold the hose in one spot for about 20 seconds before moving on to another part of the siding. Clean the soap and remaining grime off the siding.

Turn the hose end sprayer back to the light hose spray setting. Maybe that s what you are going for but if you intend to keep stain on wood don t use a pressure washer to clean it. Even after pressure washing you may still find that a thin layer of dirt remains on the siding.
