Good Pictures Dan. Did you get the job to clean that up? I hope so, you would have free advertisment for life from the owner after you showed them that Soft-Washing could fix that.

Glen I have a bid in on the sub-division, spoke to them last week and they have not made a decision yet but I was encouraged to hold on as they are typically slow.

Glen Evans · Sophmore Member

Yep, be patient, board of directors can be slow, but it will pay off in the end.

How exactly would you figure a soft wash is going to fix this issue? It appears the siding is chalky and when they blasted it with slim to no chems they removed the chalkyness in that area which would take another pressure cleaning to clean and remove the chalkyness on the whole side of home.

I dont think he is trying to solve the issue. The siding is degraded on the south and west sides from UV degragation. I just think he is making the point that pressurewashing is more likely to leave wand marks and soft washing will not.

We also have a finish rinse called Bleach Wash that Dan will be using that leaves a heavy wax on the siding and WILL make the oxidation look better for a time.

Thanks,

AC

Thank you AC.

If I may add, If you look at the pictures you will see that who ever power washed this house, started from the top and worked down. You will see that the blemishes or really clean parts are larger at the top and get smaller as they go down. Look at the bird feeder. This is from the soap or cleaner running down the side of the house. You should always start cleaning from the bottom and work up, Even if your soft washing. You can fix this with soft washing, or pressure washing. (BUT WE DON’T PRESSURE/POWER WASH HERE.) I have done it many times. If you make your mix a little hotter and let it dwell a little longer it will take the marks out of the siding. They are not stop and go marks from a power washer. If they were there is a way to fix that also.
