How to wash the dirty facade of a private house?

Pressure washing is a method that uses a high-pressure jet of water to clean the exterior of a home. Usually, a lot of dirt and other deposits accumulate on the external facade of the house due to the constant exposure to the external environment. This accumulated layer gives the house a dull look. To keep the house clean and beautiful, periodic cleaning is required.

Using a pressure washer for this task is a good and easy cleaning option. The jet of water not only removes dirt, but also helps to get rid of mold. This method of cleaning the exterior walls of the house can be applied on metal, vinyl and several types of stone materials. However, it is not suitable for brick or wooden parts of the house. Therefore, it is necessary to check what material was used to build the house, and only then decide whether this method is applicable for cleaning or not.

To clean the exterior walls of your home, take the following steps

  • Step 1: First steps in getting started. There are a few things you need to do before you start cleaning. Close all doors and windows of the house to prevent water from getting inside. Turn off the main power lines and in particular those outside the house. Cover all fixtures with plastic and duct tape to protect outdoor lighting from water. If there are damaged areas on the walls, repair them before starting the cleaning process.Remove excess vegetation around the house so that the dirt is visible and easy to get to. If you have furniture placed outside your home, tuck it inside  to prevent damage from water and detergents.
  • Step 2: Preparing the washer. For proper cleaning, use a good household washer, the choice of washer depends on the material of the walls. For high-quality processing of the outer walls of the house, a washing machine should be used that creates the highest possible pressure. Fill the tank of the washing machine with special KF-Exi detergent, or if it is not available, insert the siphon tube hose into the detergent container. Attach the water supply to the washer and place your hand in front of the stream to check the pressure being built up. The pressure should be sufficient to wash out dirt and mold, but without any damage to the wall material.
  • Step 3: The cleaning process. Choose one side of the house. Cleaning is best done on a bright sunny day and when there is no wind. Turn on the washer, press the button and wait until the detergent solution appears. As soon as it starts to flow, start cleaning and move from the bottom up. Scrubbing from the bottom up will prevent the soap solution from running through the dry areas of the house, resulting in visible streaks that are then difficult to remove. Apply the cleanser to the area and wait a few seconds or minutes for the cleanser to dissolve the dirt. Carry out this procedure on the entire surface on one side of the house.
  • Step 4: Wash. Switch to high pressure mode before flushing. Flushing should be done from top to bottom. This will ensure that the cleaned part will not be contaminated once you move down. To rinse the walls, place the nozzle of the machine at a 45 degree angle to the surface of the wall and spray with a jet of water. Move from side to side to wash the detergent solution out of the walls, if the detergent remains on the wall it may appear as streaks and stains. Once you’ve finished one side of the house, move on to the other, but don’t clean it in direct sunlight. Always clean on the side that is in the shade. If you are going to paint the house after cleaning, let it dry for two days before applying the paint.
