But for those who are open to washing down their own homes, I have used Mold Armour E-Z wash for years now. Can't think of anything quicker or easier ! Thank Ace for recommending this brand but others may be just a effective. Attach hose, even the largest home could not take more than half an hour to walk around, reaches the highest point of larger homes easily. Of course, if you wait years between washings, it is going to take longer and could even mean doing it twice on a very neglected home. Otherwise, I use twice a year and it is so quick and easy ..... even a 5th grader could do it....LOL ! Of course do NOT use on a windy day, that should be obvious, if it blows back onto your clothing it would probably make "spots" would be my guess. I've always used it on a calm day ! BTW, once you buy the bottle that connects to hose, you can then buy by the gallon and save quite a lot ! Walmart has it very reasonable by the gallon, around $10 !

Thank you for the info; I do all my work around our home. My landscaping is my own hard work showcase and I don’t want to damage it.

And you can hoard it with the rest of your gizmos in the garage.

No need for power washer, applicator armor wash attachment to hose is powerful enough to clean the house. It will clean your windows at the same time. Just squeegee windows after rinse.

Egner's has a product that will preserve your vinyl siding. First they gently clean it, then put the "coating" on. They guarantee their product/service as long as you have it washed by them every six months. Since I've had this done on my 2003 vinyl house, the vinyl has stopped "chalking" and it looks great! The service is not expensive. Far cheaper than having to replace faded, dried out, cracked vinyl.

I used Egners on our stucco home when we purchased/moved in this past April.

Like Villagetinker, I now do my own power washing.

Egners knocked of two cables from the top of our birdcage - ripped a screen - didn’t rinse the “soap” from several windows - and surfaced/extracted several stains/streaks in the paint on the front of the house and garage doors.

I chose not to have them return to correct - and I was already aware that power washing might surface existing stains in the paint.

The take away is the Egners employee didn’t address the issues while they were occurring and didn’t inform me of them before he departed.

When u do it yourself u can avoid doing damage. You’re the homeowner - ur going to take pride in what u do. A lot of the time - not always - u get service folks who are there to do only the minimum. I’m not interested in paying above fair price for a subpar outcome.

We have used No-Pressure, Inc for our vinyl siding. They apply a biodegradable chemical that smells lively and has never harmed any plants or trees on the property. They spray it on, hose it off with a low pressure garden hose and the house looks great. Around $70 if I remember correctly. Neighbor behind me also uses them and swears by them.
