How often should I power wash my house?
By Bob Millaway, South Jersey Community Expert & REALTOR®
Power wash your home's exterior once a year, ideally in spring. Use a wide spray tip and keep the nozzle moving to avoid damaging siding. For vinyl siding, use a detergent made for vinyl. Brick and stone can handle higher pressure, but wood siding needs a gentler touch. Avoid power washing roofs as it can lift shingles.
Why It Matters
Annual power washing removes dirt, mold, mildew, and pollen that can damage siding and cause health issues for your family.
