Just saw advertisements for cleaning vinyl siding. Yea, it is unsightly to see that green mold growing on the sides of your home. It seems many people just let it grow white some others grab for the pressure washer. The problem with the pressure washer is that it takes a long, long time to clean every square inch of ones home and if the pressure is too high one can damage the vinyl leaving the owner with even more problems.
As an owner of a home with vinyl siding with a desire to keep the outside of my house looking good. I want a safer and more time conscious method of cleaning my house. I have settled on a pump sprayer and bleach. I mix a solution of 1/2 bleach and 1/2 water and just spray the house from top to bottom. If desired one can spray the house down with water after giving the bleach a few minutes to work. I usually don't do this but if the mold is heavy doing so may be necessary.
It is reasonably inexpensive to use bleach, won't damage the house, and just takes a few minutes. It does a good job which last longer than cleaning with a pressure washer. The only drawback is that one will probably have to dispose of the clothes one is wearing while spraying the house.
