Siding, brick and the problems each one shows
Vinyl siding shows mildew as green or black streaks, especially on the north side and beneath trees. Aluminum chalks, leaving a powdery residue that comes off on hands and rags. Brick holds dirt in its pores, and mortar joints can erode if hit with a narrow, hard jet.
A soft wash applies a cleaner that loosens the growth, then rinses at low pressure. It is the right choice for siding and stucco because it avoids forcing water behind panels. Driveways and walks are different, and they tolerate higher pressure. Many Queens houses share a narrow driveway with a neighbor, so we plan the order of work to avoid splashing a car or fence next door.
