Follow these pressure washing tips from <a href=\"\/brands\/briggs-stratton\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Briggs &amp; Stratton<\/a> and Blain&#8217;s Farm &amp; Fleet to give the second story of your home a clean, new look<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Second Story Pressure Washing Tips:<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>1.<\/strong> First, read through our &#8220;<a href=\"\/blog\/pressure-washing-vinyl-siding\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pressure Washing Vinyl Siding<\/a>&#8221; article to learn about the basic guidelines of pressure washing the exterior of your house. It goes over how to prep the siding for pressure washing and different PSI ratings.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2.<\/strong> To reach the areas of your house that are higher than 12\u2019, you\u2019ll need to use a maximum-pressure spray pattern to propel the water high enough to reach.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. <\/strong>If you&#8217;re using <a href=\"\/pressure-washer-cleaning\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a cleaning solution<\/a>, start from the bottom and work your way up to prevent streaking. To rinse off the cleaning solution, start your spray at the top of the siding and work down from the soffit, but be sure to stand off to the side a bit to avoid getting soaked by deflected water.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4.<\/strong> Here\u2019s a thing to remember: when your spray pattern is narrow, it concentrates the power. As you spray further down on your house and the impact point gets closer to you, back away from the house or change the spray pattern to reduce the cleaning power so you don&#8217;t damage any lights or accessories on your house.<\/p>\n<p>With Blain&#8217;s Farm &amp; Fleet&#8217;s wide selection of outdoor power equipment, you can get all your outdoor projects done in no time.
