Power Wash Outside of House: The Ultimate Guide for a Spotless Exterior
GatlingTechMaintaining a clean home exterior not only enhances curb appeal but also protects your property from dirt, mildew, and weather damage.
Power washing outside of the house is one of the most effective ways to restore surfaces to their original condition. In this comprehensive guide, we explain why power washing is essential, the best tools for the job, and how the Gatlingtech H1711G Gas-Powered High-Pressure Washer can transform your cleaning routine.
Why Power Wash the Outside of Your House?
Over time, your house is exposed to dust, pollen, mold, algae, bird droppings, and other debris. These contaminants do not just make your home look neglected; they can also cause structural damage if left untreated.
- Preserves property value: A clean exterior creates a strong first impression for potential buyers.
- Prevents damage: Algae, mildew, and dirt can eat into siding, brick, or concrete if not removed.
- Improves health: Mold and pollen build-up can contribute to respiratory issues.
- Boosts curb appeal: A freshly cleaned house exterior looks newer and more inviting.
Regular power washing is the easiest way to protect your investment and maintain the beauty of your property.
Best Surfaces to Power Wash Around the House
Not all surfaces require the same cleaning approach. With the right pressure washer, you can safely wash the following:
- House siding (vinyl, wood, fiber cement, or brick)
- Driveways and walkways (concrete, pavers, or asphalt)
- Decks and patios (wood, composite, or stone)
- Garden walls and fences
- Outdoor furniture
- Garage doors and shutters
- Roofs (with careful low-pressure washing)
Each surface requires a specific level of water pressure and nozzle type to ensure effective cleaning without causing damage.

How to Power Wash Your House Safely

2. Select the Correct Nozzle

- 15° nozzle: Best for driveways, patios, and tough dirt.
- 25° nozzle: Ideal for siding and general cleaning.

3. Use Detergents When Necessary
A specialized cleaning solution helps break down grease, algae, and mildew. Always use detergents recommended for pressure washers to avoid damage.
4. Maintain the Right Distance
Hold the spray wand at least 30–45 cm (12–18 inches) away from the surface to prevent etching or damage.
5. Work in Sections
Divide large areas into smaller sections to ensure even cleaning and prevent streaks.
