If you are planning to clean all the debris, dirt, mildew and grease from your siding with immediate effect, here are some of the effective tools for you. This will aid you in bringing the tools that are extremely effective to give the siding the cleanest look.
Removing Dirt:
Tools:
Tempests and windy days are gathering dirt and dust that can hang on to your siding. Edmond, OK is a windy place and dirt accumulation is a common affair. You want a soft cloth, a soft brush (like a poly-brush for the All Paint, a chip-brushing or a horse-hair brush) and a garden shaft to clean your muck from the exterior of your house. Do not use a brush or abrasive sponge of hard metal — it can destroy the finish of the siding.
Use water as solution
Method:
Brush the surface dust or dirt of the siding with a brush and rinse it with a garden hose. If the soft cloth is used, wet the cloth, wash the area in the direction of the sheet, shingle or sideboard in a side-by-side motion. Rinse the area with clean water.
Expert’s Advice:
Work a tiny section at a time, start from top and work down to keep the area from falling or stretching out.
Oil, Organic Contaminants, Grease
Tools:
Oil-covered hands and greasy fingers can enter your house, in which case a nice cloth and a garden clothes are to be grabbed.
Solution:
Soap and water are soft, liquid dishwashers.

Take your fluffy cloth and apply soapy water to it. Use the bleached side to get a perfect clean. Use a garden shaft to clean the area until the siding is entirely clean and tidy.

Mildew and Mold Clean Up

Mildew may often look like dirt, so be certain of inspecting the boards, panels or shingles when it comes to cleaning your siding. A soft cloth (or a soft sponge) and a garden hose are required when you're landing on some mold or mildew.
