Get matched with top pressure washers in Beach, ND

Not always. The answer depends on your specific vinyl siding product. While some manufacturers advise against pressure washing, others recommend pressure washing as long as pressure is kept below a certain threshold.

If you have a type of siding that’s safe to pressure wash—namely, cement, vinyl, or aluminum—you can pressure wash your house as often as once per year (though, depending on the level of dirt and debris your home is exposed to, you might not need to). Late spring is an ideal time to pressure wash your home since the bloom of pollen in the air will have settled and you’ll be able to get the siding as clean as possible.

The answer to how often you should pressure wash your house is the same no matter whether your siding is wood, metal, or vinyl. Plan to do a project like this once a year with occasional hand cleanings in between to remove unexpected dirt—like debris from an especially violent storm or droppings from birds flying overhead.

Once you see how well your pressure washer cleans, it’s easy to get carried away and want to blast everything. But some surfaces handle pressure washing better than others. Avoid pressure washing anything electrical, painted (unless you want to strip the paint), or delicate, like glass. And even though you can pressure wash wood or other porous surfaces, select a lower-powered pressure washer and wide-angled nozzle to prevent damage.
