Perhaps the most common problem with all types of siding is dirt. Even when siding looks like it desperately needs a new coat of paint, it may really only need a good washing. The most time-consuming—and thorough—way to wash siding is the old-fashioned way: with a bucket of sudsy water, a hose, and a stiff-bristle nylon scrub brush screwed onto the end of a pole.

Considering the hassle of washing your car or bathing your dog, you may think that cleaning the whole house could take you forever—but it doesn't necessarily have to. Depending upon the type of siding your home has, you may have an easier method: pressure washing. But beware: if your home's paint is not sound, pressure washing may cause it to peel.
